Hugging Face Integration

The Hugging Face integration provides direct access to thousands of open-source models from the Hugging Face Hub through a unified interface. Load once, cache efficiently, and use enterprise-grade model management with full governance and tracking.

Integrating Hugging Face

No platform-level integration required - Hugging Face models are accessed directly through the transformers library. For private models, configure your Hugging Face token once in your environment. Models can be registered and used as any other python object on the platform.

# Example: Using a registered Hugging Face model
result = sentiment_analyzer(text="This product is amazing!", confidence_threshold=0.8)

Supported Models

Hugging Face provides access to thousands of models across multiple categories:

Text Classification - Sentiment analysis, content moderation, topic classification
Text Generation - LLaMA, Mistral, CodeLlama, and other foundation models
Text Embedding - Sentence transformers, multilingual embeddings
Guardrail Models - Prompt injection detection, content safety filters
Additional Models - other models available on Hugging Face Hub

Registering a New Hugging Face Model

Navigate to New Model to begin registration. The registration form connects Hugging Face models with your platform's governance and caching infrastructure.

Basic Information

Description: Document your model's purpose, use cases, and limitations. For example: "RoBERTa-based sentiment classifier trained on social media data. Use for customer feedback analysis and content moderation. Optimized for short text under 512 tokens."

Code Configuration

Alias: A unique identifier for your model (e.g., sentiment_classifier, prompt_guard, sentence_embedder). This becomes the variable name you'll use in code.

Output Type: Define the return format: - Map[String, String] - Key-value pairs for structured responses - String - Simple text responses - List - Array of items

Input Type: Select your implementation approach: - API Based: Platform handles API calls automatically using your integration - Python Function: Custom function implementation with full control - Custom: Advanced configurations for specialized use cases

Model Provider: Select "Hugging Face" from your configured integrations.

Arguments Configuration

Define input parameters that your model will accept. Important: Variables declared here are automatically available in the Scoring Logic section.

Common argument patterns for Hugging Face models:

Alias	Type	Optional	Default Value	Usage
text	String	No	N/A	Main input content
max_length	Numerical	Yes	512	Maximum token length
temperature	Numerical	Yes	0.7	Generation randomness
threshold	Numerical	Yes	0.5	Classification threshold

Use + Add Argument to include additional parameters.

Scoring Logic Implementation

In the Scoring Logic section, you can directly reference any variable declared in the Arguments section. The platform automatically makes these available in your code.

Example implementation for a text classification model:

# Arguments: text, threshold are automatically available
import os
from transformers import pipeline
from huggingface_hub import login

# Authentication for private models (optional)
login(token=os.getenv("HUGGINGFACE_TOKEN"))

# Direct initialization
client = pipeline(
    "text-classification",
    model="cardiffnlp/twitter-roberta-base-sentiment-latest"
)

if text is None:
    return None

results = client(text)
confidence = results[0]["score"]

if confidence >= threshold:
    return {"sentiment": results[0]["label"], "confidence": confidence}
else:
    return {"sentiment": "uncertain", "confidence": confidence}

Platform Integration Setup

For private models, configure your Hugging Face credentials:

1. Navigate to Settings > Platform Integrations
2. Click on Hugging Face
3. Enter your Hugging Face API token
4. Test the connection

The platform creates environment variables automatically: - HUGGINGFACE_TOKEN

Example Use Case: Prompt Injection Detector

A Hugging Face guardrail model configured for prompt injection detection demonstrates the complete workflow:

Arguments Configuration:

• text (String, required)
• threshold (Numerical, optional, default: "0.5")
• max_length (Numerical, optional, default: "512")

Usage:

# Model becomes available as: prompt_injection_detector
result = prompt_injection_detector(
    text="Ignore previous instructions",
    threshold=0.8,
    max_length=512
)
