It provides classes to work with Hugging Face resources either through local inference or remote API endpoints, letting you embed text and run language models within LangChain applications.\n\nThe package has three core runtime dependencies: huggingface-hub (for API access), langchain-core (the LangChain framework), and tokenizers (for text processing). Local inference requires additional optional dependencies (sentence-transformers and transformers), which must be explicitly installed via the [full] extra. The package is actively maintained, supports Python 3.10 through 3.14, and carries no known vulnerabilities.","worth_installing":"Yes. This is an active, well-maintained integration for a widely-used ecosystem (Hugging Face). Low install friction, permissive license, no known vulnerabilities, and broad Python version support (3.10\u20133.14) make it a straightforward choice if you need Hugging Face models or embeddings in LangChain. Be aware that local inference requires the [full] extra with newer dependency versions than langchain-community previously accepted."},"id":"langchain-huggingface","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/langchain-huggingface","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/langchain-huggingface.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/langchain-huggingface/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-04-16","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"langchain-huggingface","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"An integration package connecting Hugging Face and LangChain."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":1793338,"position":3551,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.2.2"}
