# Tao Port HuggingFace Model

> Integrate a HuggingFace Computer Vision model into the NVIDIA TAO Toolkit ecosystem (tao-core config, tao-pytorch trainer, tao-deploy TensorRT pipeline). Use when the user asks to "integrate a HuggingFace model into TAO", "add an HF model to TAO Toolkit", "wire a HuggingFace ViT/DETR/ SegFormer into tao-pytorch", "build a TAO trainer + deploy pipeline for an HF CV model", or pastes a HuggingFace model URL/ID and wants it turned into a TAO model. Covers the full 7-phase loop: prerequisites check, HuggingFace inspection and validation, codebase exploration, tao-core configuration and native trainer implementation, ONNX export plus TensorRT deploy integration, packaging and L0 testing, container-based end-to-end validation, and (conditional) accuracy/latency tuning. Supports classification, object detection, semantic / instance / panoptic segmentation, zero-shot detection, and depth estimation.
