HuggingFace Inference + Meridian for Hybrid Routing
Route requests intelligently between HuggingFace Inference Endpoints and your own self-hosted models using Meridian's hybrid routing engine. Keep latency low and costs predictable by falling back only when you need to.
Why Hybrid Routing?
HuggingFace Inference Endpoints provide managed, scalable model hosting — but every token costs money. Meridian sits between your application and your inference targets, applying configurable routing rules that prefer your local GPU cluster and only spill over to HuggingFace when capacity is exhausted or latency exceeds your threshold.
Cost Control
Cap HuggingFace spend with per-minute token budgets and automatic fallback gating.
Latency Floor
Route to the fastest responder — local or remote — measured in real time.
Graceful Degradation
If HuggingFace is down, Meridian queues or rejects with a 503 policy you define.
