Hugging Face vs Not Human Search
Hugging Face's Inference Providers route requests to a network of partner GPU providers (Groq, Together, Fireworks, Replicate, and more) behind one OpenAI-compatible API and a single HF token, covering chat, image, video, and embedding models. It replaced the older standalone Inference API, offering a free tier plus extra credits for PRO and Enterprise accounts, with no markup added on top of provider rates. The Hub itself still hosts hundreds of thousands of open models and datasets alongside the inference layer.
Not Human Search indexes websites and MCP servers by "agentic readiness" — how easily an AI agent can interact with a site via APIs, machine-readable docs, or MCP — exposing search, per-domain reports, and a live /check crawl that returns a 7-signal readiness score. It ships a public OpenAPI spec and an llms.txt file at its API root, with anonymous access to basic queries capped at a free 10-checks-per-hour rate limit, and Stripe-billed starter/pro/scale plans for higher-volume access or commerce endpoints like score monitoring and GEO score-fix services.
