# Hugging Face Model Deployer

Deploys models from Hugging Face Hub to Inference Endpoints using the huggingface_hub client and REST API. Monitors endpoint health and autoscaling status and streams logs to the terminal. Supports private repos with HF_TOKEN and custom Docker containers.

## Installation

Use the upstream install or setup path that matches your environment:
- uv venv .my-env
- pip install "transformers[torch]"
- uv pip install "transformers[torch]"
- git clone https://github.com/huggingface/transformers.git

Requirements and caveats from upstream:
- Transformers works with Python 3.10+, and [PyTorch](https://pytorch.org/get-started/locally/) 2.4+.
- Create and activate a virtual environment with [venv](https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html) or [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/), a fast Rust-based Python package and project manager.
- python -m venv .my-env

Basic usage or getting-started notes:
- We pledge to help support new state-of-the-art models and democratize their usage by having their model definition be
- py
- # venv
