Is Hugging Face down? Live hub & inference status

The open ML hub · models, datasets, Spaces

Live Hugging Face status — the model hub, Inference API and Spaces checked from your browser against huggingface.co.

Quick answer: Hugging Face status monitors the operational health of the Hugging Face Model Hub, Spaces, and Serverless Inference APIs. Real-time browser probes test endpoint reachability and latency to determine if Hugging Face is experiencing downtime or degraded performance, detecting HTTP error codes, elevated latency, and upstream outages without requiring login.

About HuggingFace

Hugging Face is the de-facto model and dataset hub for open ML, plus a Serverless Inference API, Inference Endpoints (dedicated), and Spaces (hosted app runtime). It's the connective tissue between open weights and running code.

Frequently asked

Is Hugging Face down?
We probe huggingface.co and the inference edges from your browser. Green means the edges respond; individual models can still queue or cold-start.
What's the difference between Inference API and Endpoints?
Serverless Inference API is a shared, rate-limited surface. Inference Endpoints are dedicated GPU/CPU instances you provision — no cold-start after warmup, priced per hour.
How do I check if Hugging Face is down?
Test real-time Hugging Face uptime at mistral.health. The monitor checks live connectivity across the Hugging Face Hub, Spaces, and Serverless Inference API endpoints.
What causes Hugging Face Inference API timeouts?
Inference API timeouts typically happen during cold starts for unpinned models, infrastructure scaling events, or high traffic on public serverless endpoints.
Where can I see official Hugging Face system status?
Hugging Face hosts an official status dashboard at status.huggingface.co, while mistral.health provides complementary browser-based latency checks on live endpoints.
Why is the Hugging Face Inference API failing?
Common reasons include model cold starts on serverless endpoints, rate limit throttling (429 errors), transient upstream cloud provider outages, or invalid API authorization tokens.
How do I test Hugging Face endpoint status programmatically?
Send an authenticated GET or POST request to your target Inference API URL or monitor official API health endpoints. An HTTP 200 code confirms normal operational status.

About this check

All data is provided on a best-effort basis with no guarantees about accuracy or availability. This is an unofficial status page and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by HuggingFace.

Checks run client-side from your browser against HuggingFace's public endpoints. Latency reflects your network path, not the server's health alone. See our resources for more on how to read these checks.
