Hugging Face Hub adds Hyperbolic, Nebius AI Studio, and Novita as serverless inference providers

AI Impact Summary

Three new serverless inference providers—Hyperbolic, Nebius AI Studio, and Novita—are now supported on the Hugging Face Hub, expanding the set of backends available for model pages. The integration introduces two routing modes for Inference APIs: direct provider keys (calls go straight to the provider) and routing through Hugging Face (charges billed to the HF account), which will impact billing governance, cost visibility, and procurement processes. Examples show DeepSeek-R1 used with Hyperbolic and Flux.1 with Nebius, and future official support in the Python/JS SDKs via InferenceClient as part of v0.29.0, so teams should plan credential management, provider SLAs, and migration considerations.
