[ANNOUNCEMENT] 📣 HuggingChat is closing for now
I have bittersweet news to share. 😢
We are closing down huggingchat for now.
Huggingchat was launched in April 2023 when ChatGPT was just 5 months old and it was still quite hard to deploy a similar service. The goal of this app was to showcase that it was now possible to build an open source alternative to ChatGPT, building on top of the community's models and building blocks. 💪
We also built Huggingchat as a testbed to optimize inference which led to the creation of text-generation-inference which in turn led to HF contributions to SGLang, vLLM, llama.cpp, and other LLM runtime engines since then.
In the past 27 months we've launched:
- 🧙 Assistants, an easy way to bundle a prompt, a model, and some tools into an easily-shareable URL you can send your friends
- 🛠️ HuggingChat Tools, exposing the full ecosystem of Gradio Spaces straight from within the chat interface
- 💬 Many model launches were supported on HuggingChat: from OpenAssistant, all the LLamas, Phi-4, to Qwen, DeepSeek, Gemma.... 🔥
The app has always been free and experimental. Today we are closing it to make room for something new and more integrated with the HF ecosystem. You can export your past conversations as a Zip file, to load them into another interface.
If you are looking for a cool alternative interface you should take a look at:
- LibreChat a clean and simple yet feature-packed chat interface
- openwebui – does it even need an intro anymore?
- Scira MCP, an up and coming MCP-centric chat interface
Finally, chat-ui (the codebase powering HuggingChat) is still maintained (GitHub repo).
You can 1-click deploy your own instance using the Chat UI Spaces Docker template.
What's happening to huggingchat 😢 ?
I hope it's not too long.
no 😭
Also, how do I export my past conversations?
Hi everyone! 👋
This is also my last week at Hugging Face and I'm currently working on a simple page to let you export your personal data & conversation history from HuggingChat so you can reuse it on other platforms in the future. Let me know if you have any questions, I'm always happy to answer them.
It was a pleasure building this app for y'all 🫡
Thats sad.
I wished this never happened

Thanks for this
Kids. so what said. Hugging Face is back with subscription starting $9. If you need free Ai, try https://chat.deepseek.com and https://chat.qwen.ai. The later is very powerful and it has several models. Good luck!

Olá, tudo bem?
No dia 26/08/2025, realizei um pagamento no valor de US$ 10 através do meu cartão virtual Mercado Pago (final ****4506).
Esse pagamento foi destinado à HuggingFace, referente à aquisição de uma licença da IA Deepsite.
Número da transação: 123262596919
Código de autorização: IN6SZZ
Titular: Rosana Ribeiro Miranda Ribeiro
O valor já foi debitado corretamente, porém não estou conseguindo acessar o serviço contratado. Entrei em contato com a HuggingFace, mas até o momento não consegui resolver a questão.
Gostaria de solicitar a verificação da transação e, se possível, o reenvio da confirmação de pagamento ao prestador de serviço ou, caso não seja possível a vinculação da compra, o estorno do valor pago.
Aguardo retorno com as instruções.
Obrigado pelo suporte!

Not only is it Chinese (privacy nightmare), but the UI is also awful and riddled with visual bugs.
