AI libraries evolve weekly and tutorials rarely keep pace. Need a reliable playbook that simply works? Hugging Face in Action turns cutting-edge models into clear, runnable Python projects you can launch today.  Inside you’ll find:  Utilizing Hugging Face Transformers and Pipelines for NLP tasks: Produce accurate NLP results without deep math or custom training. Applying Hugging Face techniques for Computer Vision projects: Detect objects and classify images using pretrained models that save months.  Manipulating Hugging Face Datasets for efficient data handling: Share data efficiently, eliminating fragile, one-off scripts. Training Machine Learning models with AutoTrain functionality: Train custom models with almost no code, accelerating experiments and proofs of concept.  Autonomous AI agents: Implement AI agents to automate tasks and integrate them into your applications.  Developing LLM-based applications using LangChain and LlamaIndex: Build retrieval-augmented chatbots that answer from your private knowledge bases.    Hugging Face in Action by Wei-Meng Lee delivers a step-by-step, project-based roadmap in print and eBook. Each chapter adds one layer of the modern Hugging Face ecosystem, reinforcing concepts through hands-on builds.  Clear tips, checklists, and complete code samples help you avoid pitfalls and stay productive.  You will start with simple text generation and progress to image classification, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and autonomous AI agents. Clear tips, checklists, and performance notes help you avoid common pitfalls while staying productive.  By the end of this book, you will be ready to fine-tune models, manage datasets, and release AI features. Your solutions will remain maintainable as libraries evolve.  Ideal for Python developers comfortable with NumPy or Pandas who want a fast, practical entry into applied AI.
