fix(providers): point Hugging Face provider at router.huggingface.co/v1 - #2304
Notice huggingface-serverless-inference-api-retired about huggingface.co's API describes this change, published 2025-07-01. It is not signed by huggingface.co: it was read from a file the person running Tiltmeter trusts.
The notice's summary:
The serverless Inference API at api-inference.huggingface.co is gone: its domain no longer resolves
(checked October 27, 2026), so requests fail before they reach Hugging Face. Its successor, HF
Inference, answers at router.huggingface.co/hf-inference with the same requests and responses per
task, and the OpenAI-compatible chat API moved to router.huggingface.co/v1. Sources:
huggingface.co/docs/inference-providers and the huggingface_hub client.

The notice's notes:
POST /models/{model}: Same request body and response for the model's task. HF Inference needs a
token (Bearer hf_...) with the Inference Providers permission, and since July 2025 it serves mostly
CPU models such as embeddings and classifiers; large chat models are served through
router.huggingface.co/v1/chat/completions.
POST /v1/chat/completions: Same OpenAI-compatible body and response. An OpenAI client's base URL
becomes https://router.huggingface.co/v1.
What this pull request changes
The Hugging Face provider entry in config/provider-catalog.json pointed at api-inference.huggingface.co, which no longer resolves. Its baseUrl now points at the OpenAI-compatible router, https://router.huggingface.co/v1. The entry uses providerKey "openai", so clients add /chat/completions and /models to this base URL. No other code in the repo calls the old host.
config/provider-catalog.json
Left for a human
The Hugging Face catalog entry still lists the 'embedding' category. The provider's notes only say chat moved to router.huggingface.co/v1. Embeddings are served by HF Inference at router.huggingface.co/hf-inference/models/{model}, which is not an OpenAI-style /v1/embeddings endpoint. So embedding requests sent through this OpenAI-compatible base URL may fail. Someone should check whether to keep 'embedding' in this entry's categories.
Users who already saved a Hugging Face provider with the old baseUrl (https://api-inference.huggingface.co) keep it in their stored configuration. This catalog change only affects new setups; existing records need a data migration or a manual update.
This pull request was generated automatically by Tiltmeter from the unsigned notice huggingface-serverless-inference-api-retired about huggingface.co's API. An AI agent (Claude Code with claude-opus-5-5) wrote these edits; review them like any other change.
Summary by CodeRabbit
Chores
Updated the Hugging Face Inference service connection. Requests now use the provider’s current router address. Other provider settings are unchanged.
The Hugging Face provider entry in config/provider-catalog.json pointed at api-inference.huggingface.co, which no longer resolves. Its baseUrl now points at the OpenAI-compatible router, https://router.huggingface.co/v1. The entry uses providerKey "openai", so clients add /chat/completions and /models to this base URL. No other code in the repo calls the old host.
Notice huggingface-serverless-inference-api-retired about huggingface.co's API describes the change. It was read from a file and is not signed by the provider.
The Hugging Face entry now points at the router URL, but it still advertises embedding support that the router endpoint does not document. New embedding setups could therefore fail. Existing saved Hugging Face providers also keep the old URL unless they are migrated or reconfigured. Resolve the embedding category and decide how to handle saved providers before merging.

Feature Extraction
## Feature Extraction
Feature extraction is the task of converting a text into a vector (often called “embedding”).
Example applications:
* Retrieving the most relevant documents for a query (for RAG applications).
* Reranking a list of documents based on their similarity to a query.
* Calculating the similarity between two sentences.
> For more details about the `feature-extraction` task, check out its dedicated page! You will find examples and related materials.
### Recommended models
* thenlper/gte-large: A powerful feature extraction model for natural language processing tasks.
Explore all available models and find the one that suits you best here, or from the terminal with the `hf` CLI:

# Inference Providers
Hugging Face’s Inference Providers give developers access to hundreds of machine learning models, powered by world-class inference providers. They are also integrated into our client SDKs (for JS and Python), making it easy to explore serverless inference of models on your favorite providers.
## Quick Setup for Agents
Using a coding agent? Point it at Inference Providers to run the latest open models available with a single Hugging Face token. Pick your tool below to jump straight to its setup guide.
OpenCode Pi Codex Claude Code Hermes Agent
## Partners
Our platform integrates with leading AI infrastructure providers, giving you access to their specialized capabilities through a single, consistent API. Here’s what each partner supports:
Provider | Chat completion (LLM) | Chat completion (VLM) | Feature Extraction | Text to Image | Text to video | Speech to text
--- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | ---
Baseten | ✅ | ✅ | | | |
Whether you prefer Python, JavaScript, or direct HTTP calls, we provide native SDKs and OpenAI-compatible APIs to get you up and running quickly.
We’ll walk through a practical example using openai/gpt-oss-120b, a state-of-the-art open-weights conversational model.
### Inference Playground
Before diving into integration, explore models interactively with our Inference Playground. Test different chat completion models with your prompts and compare responses to find the perfect fit for your use case.
Prefer the terminal? Run `hf models ls --warm` with the `hf` CLI to list every model served by at least one provider, and add `--json` for scripts and agents. See the Hub API page for the full set of filters.
### Authentication
You’ll need a Hugging Face token to authenticate your requests. Create one by visiting your token settings and generating a `fine-grained` token with `Make calls to Inference Providers` permissions.
For complete token management details, see our security tokens guide.
For example, `openai/gpt-oss-120b:cheapest`.
You can also select the provider of your choice by appending the provider name to the model id (e.g. `"openai/gpt-oss-120b:groq"`).
import OpenAI from "openai";
const client = new OpenAI({
baseURL: "https://router.huggingface.co/v1",
apiKey: process.env.HF_TOKEN,
});
const completion = await client.chat.completions.create({
model: "openai/gpt-oss-120b:fastest",
messages: [
{
role: "user",
content: "How many 'G's in 'huggingface'?",
},
],
});
console.log(completion.choices[0].message.content);
For lightweight applications or custom implementations, use our REST API directly with standard fetch.
By default, our system automatically selects the fastest available provider for the specified model (equivalent to the `:fastest` policy — highest throughput in tokens per second).
You can change the provider selection policy by appending a policy suffix to the model id: `:cheapest` for the most cost-efficient provider (lowest price per output token), or `:preferred` to follow your preference order in Inference Provider settings.

Provider Selection Policy:
* `provider: "auto"` (default): Selects the fastest available provider for the model (highest throughput in tokens per second), equivalent to the `:fastest` policy.
* `provider: "specific-provider"`: Forces use of a specific provider (e.g., “together”, “replicate”, “fal-ai”, …).
### Alternative: OpenAI-Compatible Chat Completions Endpoint (Chat Only)
If you prefer to work with familiar OpenAI APIs or want to migrate existing chat completion code with minimal changes, we offer a drop-in compatible endpoint that handles all provider selection automatically on the server side.
By default, the fastest available provider is selected for the model (highest throughput in tokens per second). This is equivalent to appending `:fastest` to the model name. You can change that policy by adding a suffix to the model name:
* `:cheapest` selects the most cost-efficient provider for the model (lowest price per output tokens)
* `:preferred` selects the first available provider sorted by your preference order in Inference Provider settings
Note: This OpenAI-compatible endpoint is currently available for chat completion tasks only. For other tasks like text-to-image, embeddings, or speech processing, use the Hugging Face inference clients shown above.

Remove embedding from the Hugging Face catalog entry.
The new base URL is the OpenAI-compatible router endpoint. Hugging Face documents this endpoint as available for chat completion only. Embedding requests belong to the Hugging Face inference clients or the feature-extraction API.
The entry still lists embedding in categories. Embedding provider selection filters providers by that category. Providers with providerKey: "openai" use the OpenAI embeddings client. New setups that choose Hugging Face for embeddings can therefore send requests to an endpoint that does not support them. Remove the category until a Hugging Face embedding integration exists. Also update the en and zh-CN descriptions, which still describe embedding support.

This catalog edit changes the default URL only. Existing Hugging Face provider records can retain https://api-inference.huggingface.co. If that endpoint is unavailable, existing users can continue to use the unavailable URL.
Add a migration or update-on-read path that changes only records still using the old default. Preserve user-defined URLs. Otherwise, document that existing records require manual reconfiguration.
