Intel and Hugging Face are building powerful optimization tools to accelerate training and inference with Transformers.

### Models
Check out Intel's models here on our Hugging Face page or directly through the [Hugging Face Models Hub search](https://huggingface.co/models?sort=trending&search=intel). Here are some of Intel's models:

| Model | Type | 
| :--- | :--- | 
| [dpt-hybrid-midas](https://huggingface.co/Intel/dpt-hybrid-midas) | Monocular depth estimation | 
| [llava-gemma-2b](https://huggingface.co/Intel/llava-gemma-2b) | Multimodal |
| [gpt2 on Gaudi](https://huggingface.co/Habana/gpt2) | Text generation | 
| [neural-chat-7b-v3-3-int8-ov](https://huggingface.co/OpenVINO/neural-chat-7b-v3-3-int8-ov) | Text generation | 

### Datasets

Intel has created a number of [datasets](https://huggingface.co/Intel?sort_datasets=modified#datasets) for use in fine-tuning both vision and language models. Check out the datasets below on our page, including [orca_dpo_pairs](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Intel/orca_dpo_pairs) for natural language processing tasks and [SocialCounterfactuals](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Intel/SocialCounterfactuals) for vision tasks.

### Collections

Our Collections categorize models that pertain to Intel hardware and software. Here are a few:

| Collection | Description |

| [DPT 3.1](https://huggingface.co/collections/Intel/dpt-31-65b2a13eb0a5a381b6df9b6b) | Monocular depth (MiDaS) models, leveraging state-of-the-art vision backbones such as BEiT and Swinv2 | 
| [Whisper](https://huggingface.co/collections/Intel/whisper-65b3d8d2d5bf0d622a866e3a) | Whisper models for automatic speech recognition (ASR) and speech translation, quantized for faster inference speeds. | 
| [Intel Neural Chat](https://huggingface.co/collections/Intel/intel-neural-chat-65b3d2f2d0ba0a801668ef2c) | Fine-tuned 7B parameter LLM models, one of which made it to the top of the 7B HF LLM Leaderboard | 

### Spaces
Check out Intel's leaderboards and other demo applications from our [Spaces](https://huggingface.co/Intel?sort_spaces=modified#spaces):

| Space | Description | 
| :--- | :--- | 
| [Powered-by-Intel LLM Leaderboard](https://huggingface.co/spaces/Intel/powered_by_intel_llm_leaderboard) | Evaluate, score, and rank open-source LLMs that have been pre-trained or fine-tuned on Intel Hardware 🦾 |

### Documentation

To learn more about deploying models on Intel hardware with Transformers, visit the resources listed below.

*Optimum Habana* - To deploy on Intel Gaudi accelerators, check out [optimum-habana](https://github.com/huggingface/optimum-habana/), the interface between Gaudi and the 🤗 Transformers and Diffusers libraries. To install the latest stable release:

```bash
pip install --upgrade-strategy eager optimum[habana]
```

*Optimum Intel* - To deploy on all other Intel architectures, check out [optimum-intel](https://github.com/huggingface/optimum-intel), the interface between Intel architectures and the 🤗 Transformers and Diffusers libraries. Depending on your need, you can use these backends:

| Accelerator | Installation |
|:---|:---|
| [Intel Neural Compressor](https://huggingface.co/docs/optimum/en/intel/optimization_inc) | `pip install --upgrade --upgrade-strategy eager "optimum[neural-compressor]"`  |
| [OpenVINO](https://huggingface.co/docs/optimum/en/intel/inference)                                                                             | `pip install --upgrade --upgrade-strategy eager "optimum[openvino]"`           |
| [Intel Extension for PyTorch](https://intel.github.io/intel-extension-for-pytorch/#introduction)                 | `pip install --upgrade --upgrade-strategy eager "optimum[ipex]"` |
