Hi  
I am just getting started with Huggingface and have a very basic question about the Inference API:  
Is it possible to use any model on Huggingface with the Inference API or only the ones listed under [Detailed Parameters in the api-inference.huggingface.co/docs](https://api-inference.huggingface.co/docs/node/html/detailed_parameters.html)?

If all are available, but only some have documentation in the docs, where do I learn about how to use some of the undocumented onces? For instance a model like [microsoft/trocr-base-handwritten · Hugging Face](https://huggingface.co/microsoft/trocr-base-handwritten) or [First Order Motion Model - a Hugging Face Space by abhishek](https://huggingface.co/spaces/abhishek/first-order-motion-model)?

Hope my question makes sense 🙂

Would anyone have a answer to this question?

I know this is a few years old now but I am just starting out and I have the same question, did you ever find an answer to this?

You can use a wide range of models with the Hugging Face Inference API, not just those listed in the documentation. For models not covered in the docs, like microsoft/trocr-base-handwritten or custom Spaces, refer to the model’s page or repository for specific usage details and API examples.
