# Hugging Face Chat

> Web-based chat interface by Hugging Face that lets users interact with and evaluate hosted language models through a browser-based conversational UI.

Hugging Face Chat provides a browser-based conversational interface that lets users interact with language models hosted on the Hugging Face platform. It is primarily a demo and experimentation surface for models from the Hugging Face Model Hub and inference endpoints. The interface preserves conversational context during a session and lets users switch between available models to compare responses.

- **Interactive chat interface**: Use the web UI to enter messages and receive model-generated replies in a conversational format.
- **Model selection**: Pick from models hosted on the Hugging Face Model Hub to route your chat to a specific model for testing or comparison.
- **Session context**: Maintain multi-turn context during a session so the model can reference earlier messages in the conversation.
- **Model inspection**: View basic model cards and metadata while testing to understand model provenance and capabilities.
- **Quick experimentation**: Start a conversation immediately in your browser; change models or system prompts to evaluate different behaviors.

To get started, open the chat page in a modern browser, choose a model if available, and begin sending messages. Use the interface to compare outputs across models for evaluation and demonstration purposes.
