Getting Started with Hugging Face Transformers

By the end of this course, you will be able to: • Explain the role of models, datasets, and Spaces in the HF ecosystem and use the pipeline API to run inference across text, vision, and audio tasks. • Tokenize and encode text inputs using AutoTokenizer, handle padding and truncation, and apply chat templates for LLM-compatible formatting. • Load pre-trained models using the appropriate AutoModel class, inspect model configuration, run manual inference, and load models in reduced precision with device_map="auto". • Evaluate model cards to assess intended use, limitations, bias disclosures, and
