Transformers is a powerful Python library created by Hugging Face that allows you to download, manipulate, and run thousands of pretrained, open-source AI models. These models cover multiple tasks across modalities like natural language processing, computer vision, audio, and multimodal learning. Using pretrained open-source models can reduce costs, save the time needed to train models from scratch, and give you more control over the models you deploy.
Throughout this tutorial, you’ll gain a conceptual understanding of Hugging Face’s AI offerings and learn how to work with the Transformers library through hands-on examples. When you finish, you’ll have the knowledge and tools you need to start using models for your own use cases. Before starting, you’ll benefit from having an intermediate understanding of
