Anyone here using Hugging Face models in actual games? Or is everyone sticking to Unity/Unreal + the usual tools?

I’ve been exploring Hugging Face and its library of open-source AI models—text generation, voice, vision, all sorts of stuff. It seems powerful, but I rarely see game devs mention it.

Is anyone here actually using Hugging Face models in their game workflows? Stuff like local inference for NPCs, dialogue systems, procedural generation, etc.? Or are most people just sticking with engine-native tools or cloud APIs like OpenAI?

Also curious—if you are doing inference locally (especially on GPU), how’s performance been? Or is that just not practical for most games yet?
