HuggingChat

Explains how HuggingChat switches between open models, adds retrieval and keeps inference costs down, and how to keep running the open-source Chat UI once the hosted entry changed.

HuggingChat is Hugging Face's open-source chat interface, gathering several open-weight models behind one entry point. Swappable models, portable data and a free choice of where to run it distinguish it from tools tied to a single model. Three lines, how models divide the work, how retrieval is configured and what inference costs, show where the hosted entry and a self-run Chat UI diverge.
