Request API access? Remote model access

Beginners
1

Hi everyone,

I am attempting to build/connect to a model using the HF servers to do the heavy lifting, and my home computer to host a webpage to access the model from HF. I’m told I have to ask for access to the model, and I could really use some help here. I am open to using any one of these models:

tiiuae/falcon-7b-instruct
meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct
mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2
NousResearch/Nous-Hermes-2-Mistral-7B
openai/gpt-oss-20b
qwen/qwen2-7b-instruct
CohereForAI/c4ai-command-r-plus

I am using CHAT GPTs help to build this new system. I bought a POWERSPEC G525 (it’s what I can afford) and I was able to get it to work LOCALLY but it’s much too slow in my opinion, and If I have the ability to have the HF servers do all the heavy lifting it would be great.

Can one of you point me in the right direction?

The model currently deployed can be used for free only a few times, but it is basically difficult to use for free.

John,

Thank you for your reply. Do I understand correctly by saying that I could essentially do what my plan is but I have to purchase monthly access through Hugging Face? I mean I would rather do that than paying OpenAI.

Thanks,

-Mike
