Add hugging-face-ai extension

[wderocco8]

Hello, Raycast team! 👋

Hugging Face AI Extension

The past few weeks, I've been working on Hugging Face AI, an extension that allows users to interact with Hugging Face's Inference API. This extension offers features such as contextual question asking, conversation tracking, and even custom model creation.

For a detailed overview, please refer to the README.

Why a Separate Extension?

Although inspired by the ChatGPT extension by Abiel Zulio M, Hugging Face AI is designed to serve a slightly different audience. Key differences include:

1. Free Access: Users can interact with various models using a free token, removing the pay-as-you-go restriction of ChatGPT.
2. Easy export/import: Two command approach allows users to easily export and import all extension data (excluding their access_token)
3. Open Ecosystem: Hugging Face offers a broad range of community-driven models, enabling users to experiment with different capabilities.

While I considered extending the ChatGPT extension, I felt a separate extension would reduce complexity and better align with the Hugging Face community's needs. However, I'm open to feedback on integration or alternative approaches.

Key Features

• Ask Questions: Chat with Hugging Face models directly.
• Conversation History: View and manage past conversations.
• Custom Models: Create and manage personalized AI models.
• Data Import/Export: Backup or transfer conversation data via JSON.

Why It’s Valuable

This extension provides a cost-effective and flexible solution for developers, AI enthusiasts, and anyone exploring natural language models without incurring additional expenses.

Additionally, it offers greater model diversity and supports users interested in experimenting with AI.

Next Steps

I look forward to your feedback and suggestions. If integration with the ChatGPT extension is a preferred path, I’d be happy to discuss how this can be achieved.

HI @pernielsentikaer, that is a great point. Would it make sense to create a separate PR and follow the contribute to an extension guidelines? If so, I can take a stab at this today and tomorrow!

[pernielsentikaer]

That would be the best way yes, and just add and enhance 😊
