A good starting point is to define your use case first. For example, are you building a chatbot, doing text classification, summarization, translation, or image generation? Once you know the task, you can use the model filters on Hugging Face to narrow your options. I also recommend checking the model card for supported languages, hardware requirements, licensing, and community feedback before choosing a model. If you can share what you’re building, people can suggest models that fit your project.
