Featherless AI becomes a Hugging Face Inference Provider with serverless access to DeepSeek and other models

AI Impact Summary

Featherless AI is now a supported Inference Provider on the Hugging Face Hub, enabling serverless inference directly on model pages. The integration is exposed through the Python and JavaScript SDKs, with two routing modes: direct provider key or routing by Hugging Face. This expands access to models like DeepSeek-R1-0528 and other open-source offerings, reducing operational overhead while transferring some billing to provider or HF depending on the routing path.
