HuggingFace
Pre-trained models, tokenizers, and the Transformers ecosystem.
Maturity level: L2 — Can Build
Six perspectives on HuggingFace
Roadmap
Learn after PyTorch — before serious ML or LLM fine-tuning.
Architecture
Model artifact source for training and inference pipelines.
Company
Very common in ML, NLP, and LLMOps postings.
Projects
Use Hub models in every training capstone.
Interview
Fine-tuning workflows and model selection.
Career
Bridge from Python to production ML.
What & Why
What: Hub and libraries for downloading, fine-tuning, and serving transformer models.
Why: Most LLM and NLP work starts with HuggingFace models — not training from scratch.
Build this
Fine-tune a small classifier with LoRA and publish a model card.
Production reality
- ! License compliance
- ! Model size on disk
- ! Tokenizer mismatches
- ! VRAM limits
Interview preparation
- Fine-tuning vs full training
- How do tokenizers affect RAG chunking?
