Get a Hugging Face token

AskWrong runs on your own Hugging Face inference credits (BYOK). You need a fine-grained token with one permission. This takes about two minutes, which is less time than you’ve spent not reading error messages today.

Use a fine-grained token scoped to only “Make calls to Inference Providers”. If it ever leaks, that’s the only thing it can do, and you can revoke it in one click.

  1. 01

    Open the token settings

    Go to huggingface.co/settings/tokens. Sign in (or make a free account, it takes a minute). Click + Create new token.

  2. 02

    Choose 'Fine-grained'

    Pick the Fine-grained token type. Not Read, not Write. Fine-grained lets you grant exactly one permission and nothing else, which is the safe way to do this.

  3. 03

    Name it and set the permission

    Give it a name you’ll recognize (e.g. askwrong). Under permissions, enable “Make calls to Inference Providers”. That is the only box you need. Leave everything else off.

  4. 04

    Create and copy the token

    Click Create token. Copy the hf_… value immediately: Hugging Face only shows it once. If you lose it, just make another; they’re free.

  5. 05

    Paste it into AskWrong

    Open Settings and paste it into the token field, then Save. It’s stored only in your browser and sent directly to the model on each request.
