Hugging Face opens the door to the open-source side of AI: hundreds of community and enterprise models served through a single Inference Providers endpoint. This section explains how to generate the access token you’ll need to connect Hugging Face in the Magento 2 AI Connector configuration.

- Click the Create token button at the bottom of the page.
Step 3. Create and copy your token
- Once the token is generated, copy it immediately and store it in a safe place — Hugging Face will show it only once. If you lose it, you’ll need to create a new one.
- Paste this token into the API Token field under Hugging Face tab in the AI Connector Configuration, then click Save Config.
- Click Reload Models to pull the available model list from the router, then use Test Connection to verify the token works.
