FAQ

Is this class free?

Yes, totally free 🥳.

Do I need to have a Hugging Face account to follow the course?

Yes, to push your custom models and pipelines to the hub, you need an account (it's free) 🤗.

You can create one here 👉 https://huggingface.co/join

What’s the format of the class?

The course will consist of at least 4 Units. More will be added as time goes on, on topics like diffusion for audio.

Each unit consists of some theory and background alongside one or more hands-on notebooks. Some units will also contain suggested projects and we'll have competitions and swag for the best pipelines and demos (more details TDB).

🌎 Languages and translations

Members of the 🤗 community have begun translating the course! We're planning to host this course on the Hugging Face website, so if you're interested in contributing a translation, we recommend waiting until we've formatted the English content in it's final form.
