Go to huggingface.co and create a free account if you don't have one. Hugging Face provides access to thousands of open-source AI models through their Inference API — no complex setup required.

Generate an Access Token

Go to your Hugging Face Access Tokens settings and click "+ Create new token".

Select Fine-grained as the token type and give it a name (e.g. "typingmind"). Under the Inference section, enable the following permissions:

  • ☑️ Manage your Inference Endpoints — optional, for endpoint management
Create Hugging Face access token with Inference permissions

Click "Create token" and copy the generated token — you'll need it in the next step.

⚠️ Important: Keep your access token secure and never share it publicly. Store it safely as you'll need it to connect with TypingMind.

Hugging Face FAQ

Why use Qwen3-Coder-Next on Hugging Face with TypingMind instead of the official Hugging Face interface?

You bring your own HF access token and pay only for what you use, with no TypingMind subscription required.

No subscription required for many models. Hugging Face offers a free tier with rate limits, and a PRO plan ($9/month) for higher usage. Many open-weight models are completely free to use. You only pay for inference on paid models. TypingMind is also a one-time purchase, not a subscription.

How much does it cost to use Qwen3-Coder-Next via Hugging Face?

Qwen3-Coder-Next on Hugging Face costs $0.2/1M input tokens and $1.5/1M output tokens. Many open-weight models are free to use. You can monitor usage in your Hugging Face billing dashboard.
