Summary

The creator thanks Victor Mustar of Hugging Face for a credit giveaway and plans to use the credits to deploy Qwen3.8 27B on an Inference Endpoint. The quoted post lists things you can try with HF credits: having agents launch HF Jobs, running DeepSeek V4.1 Flash, deploying dedicated endpoints, and running agents with Blender on a GPU.

Key points

• Victor Mustar gave away $1,000 in HF credits ($10 each to 100 people).
• Things to try with the credits: have an agent launch hundreds of HF Jobs, run about 33M tokens of DeepSeek V4.1 Flash, and deploy a dedicated Qwen3.8 27B endpoint.
• The creator plans to deploy Qwen3.8 27B on an Inference Endpoint.
