Hi Community!
I'm ecstatic to announce Flutter SDK for HuggingFace Inference APIs. The project is open-source and can be found at https://github.com/shivance/huggingface.dart . I have also created a sample Flutter App that does language translation using HuggingFace's Helsinki-NLP/opus-mt-ru-en" model. Below is the video demo.

## Why Flutter?

Flutter is an open-source UI software development kit created by Google. It is used to develop cross-platform applications from a single codebase for any Web Browser, Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, and Windows.

Over the past few years, the framework has grown a lot of popularity.

## Mission
This is a small step-stone to bring Open Source Machine Learning to the edge and thus make AI more accessible. This project, at the time of writing, supports only NLP APIs, I'll slowly add other modalities too.

Had an opportunity to play with Flutter 3 yrs ago with @sayakpaul , and it sure looks pretty interesting

Awesome! I too learnt Flutter ~3 yrs ago during a hackathon :P

Flutter looks very cool!

Flutter is not only cool but also widely used! The perks are similar to JS and easy to pick up. The part I love the most about it is programming interfaces without the usage of UI templating like XML. The cross-platform thing is another big plus.
I've been thinking about bringing quantized models to edge for inference and trying some stuff around it. If it's a success, then it might change the game at edge enabling developers to leverage power of HF.

Sir is it possible to use Hugging Face Inference APIs in android studio with flutter?
