## Explore the AI Hub

The AI Hub provides a graphical user interface for managing your AI development assets.

After logging into the AI Hub, you can access these pages:

* **Hardware Explorer:** Explore hardware from the browser.
* **Public Models:** Browse models hosted on the AI Hub.
* **Workspaces**: Get access to advanced AI Hub features.

### Hardware Explorer

The [Inference Dashboard](/ai-hub/model-console.md) displays AI accelerators and processors hosted on the AI Hub by vendor. Use it to quickly preview AI accelerators, processors, and models by running inference in your browser.

{% hint style="success" %}
On the bottom-left corner of the window is a **Take a Tour** button. Click this button to get a quick tutorial of the AI Hub. In this tutorial, you'll learn how to evaluate hardware and models hosted on the AI Hub.
{% endhint %}

### **Public Models**

DeGirum maintains [public Model Zoos](/ai-hub/public-models.md) that all registered users can access for free.

### Workspaces

Workspaces are private, self-contained environments for building and deploying AI applications.

When you create or join a workspace, you can unlock features such as:

* [Cloud Compiler](/ai-hub/workspaces/cloud-compiler.md)
* [Creating Workspace Model Zoos](/ai-hub/workspaces/workspace-models.md#creating-a-model-zoo)
* [Managing Workspace tokens](/ai-hub/workspaces/workspace-tokens.md)

Click here to learn more about [Workspaces](/ai-hub/workspaces.md).

{% hint style="info" %}
Workspaces are currently in a free early access stage and may transition to a paid feature.
