v0.26.0: Multi-tokens support, conversational VLMs and quality of life improvements
🔐 Multiple access tokens support
Managing fine-grained access tokens locally just became much easier and more efficient!
Fine-grained tokens let you create tokens with specific permissions, making them especially useful in production environments or when working with external organizations, where strict access control is essential.
To make managing these tokens easier, we've added a ✨ new set of CLI commands ✨ that allow you to handle them programmatically:
- Store multiple tokens on your machine by simply logging in with the
login()
command with each token:
huggingface-cli login
- Switch between tokens and choose the one that will be used for all interactions with the Hub:
huggingface-cli auth switch
- List available access tokens on your machine:
huggingface-cli auth list
- Delete a specific token from your machine with:
huggingface-cli logout [--token-name TOKEN_NAME]
✅ Nothing changes if you are using the HF_TOKEN
environment variable as it takes precedence over the token set via the CLI. More details in the documentation. 🤗
- Support multiple tokens locally by @hanouticelina in #2549
⚡️ InferenceClient improvements
🖼️ Conversational VLMs support
Conversational vision-language models inference is now supported with InferenceClient
's chat completion!
from huggingface_hub import InferenceClient
# works with remote url or base64 encoded url
image_url ="https://cdn.britannica.com/61/93061-050-99147DCE/Statue-of-Liberty-Island-New-York-Bay.jpg"
client = InferenceClient("meta-llama/Llama-3.2-11B-Vision-Instruct")
output = client.chat.completions.create(
messages=[
{
"role": "user",
"content": [
{
"type": "image_url",
"image_url": {"url": image_url},
},
{
"type": "text",
"text": "Describe this image in one sentence.",
},
],
},
],
)
print(output.choices[0].message.content)
#A determine figure of Lady Liberty stands tall, holding a torch aloft, atop a pedestal on an island.
🔧 More complete support for inference parameters
You can now pass additional inference parameters to more task methods in the InferenceClient
, including: image_classification
, text_classification
, image_segmentation
, object_detection
, document_question_answering
and more!
For more details, visit the InferenceClient
reference guide.
✅ Of course, all of those changes are also available in the AsyncInferenceClient async equivalent 🤗
- Support VLM in chat completion (+some specs updates) by @Wauplin in #2556
- [Inference Client] Add task parameters and a maintenance script of these parameters by @hanouticelina in #2561
- Document vision chat completion with Llama 3.2 11B V by @Wauplin in #2569
✨ HfApi
update_repo_settings
can now be used to switch visibility status of a repo. This is a drop-in replacement for update_repo_visibility
which is deprecated and will be removed in version v0.29.0
.
- update_repo_visibility(repo_id, private=True)
+ update_repo_settings(repo_id, private=True)
- Feature: switch visibility with update_repo_settings by @WizKnight in #2541
📄 Daily papers API is now supported in huggingface_hub
, enabling you to search for papers on the Hub and retrieve detailed paper information.
>>> from huggingface_hub import HfApi
>>> api = HfApi()
# List all papers with "attention" in their title
>>> api.list_papers(query="attention")
# Get paper information for the "Attention Is All You Need" paper
>>> api.paper_info(id="1706.03762")

💔 Breaking changes
A few breaking changes have been introduced:
cached_download()
,url_to_filename()
,filename_to_url()
methods are now completely removed. From now on, you will have to usehf_hub_download()
to benefit from the new cache layout.legacy_cache_layout
argument fromhf_hub_download()
has been removed as well.
These breaking changes have been announced with a regular deprecation cycle.
Also, any templating-related utility has been removed from huggingface_hub
. Client side templating is not necessary now that all conversational text-generation models in InferenceAPI are served with TGI.

v0.25.0: Large uploads made simple + quality of life improvements
📂 Upload large folders
Uploading large models or datasets is challenging. We've already written some tips and tricks to facilitate the process but something was still missing. We are now glad to release the huggingface-cli upload-large-folder
command. Consider it as a "please upload this no matter what, and be quick" command. Contrarily to huggingface-cli download
, this new command is more opinionated and will split the upload into several commits. Multiple workers are started locally to hash, pre-upload and commit the files in a way that is resumable, resilient to connection errors, and optimized against rate limits. This feature has already been stress tested by the community over the last months to make it as easy and convenient to use as possible.
Here is how to use it:
huggingface-cli upload-large-folder <repo-id> <local-path> --repo-type=dataset
Every minute, a report is logged with the current status of the files and workers:
---------- 2024-04-26 16:24:25 (0:00:00) ----------
Files: hashed 104/104 (22.5G/22.5G) | pre-uploaded: 0/42 (0.0/22.5G) | committed: 58/104 (24.9M/22.5G) | ignored: 0
Workers: hashing: 0 | get upload mode: 0 | pre-uploading: 6 | committing: 0 | waiting: 0
---------------------------------------------------
You can also run it from a script:
>>> from huggingface_hub import HfApi
>>> api = HfApi()
>>> api.upload_large_folder(
... repo_id="HuggingFaceM4/Docmatix",
... repo_type="dataset",
... folder_path="/path/to/local/docmatix",
... )
For more details about the command options, run:
huggingface-cli upload-large-folder --help
or visit the upload guide.
- CLI to upload arbitrary huge folder by @Wauplin in #2254
- Reduce number of commits in upload large folder by @Wauplin in #2546
- Suggest using upload_large_folder when appropriate by @Wauplin in #2547
✨ HfApi & CLI improvements
🔍 Search API
The search API have been updated. You can now list gated models and datasets, and filter models by their inference status (warm, cold, frozen).
- Add 'gated' search parameter by @Wauplin in #2448
- Filter models by inference status by @Wauplin in #2517
More complete support for the expand[]
parameter:
- Document baseModels and childrenModelCount as expand parameters by @Wauplin in #2475
- Better support for trending score by @Wauplin in #2513
- Add GGUF as supported expand[] parameter by @Wauplin in #2545
👤 User API
Organizations are now included when retrieving the user overview:
get_user_followers
and get_user_following
are now paginated. This was not the case before, leading to issues for users with more than 1000 followers.
📦 Repo API
Added auth_check
to easily verify if a user has access to a repo. It raises GatedRepoError
if the repo is gated and the user don't have the permission or RepositoryNotFoundError
if the repo does not exist or is private. If the method does not raise an error, you can assume the user has the permission to access the repo.
>>> from huggingface_hub import auth_check
>>> from huggingface_hub.utils import GatedRepoError, RepositoryNotFoundError
try:
auth_check("user/my-cool-model")
except GatedRepoError:
# Handle gated repository error
print("You do not have permission to access this gated repository.")
except RepositoryNotFoundError:
# Handle repository not found error
print("The repository was not found or you do not have access.")
- implemented
auth_check
by @cjfghk5697 in #2497
It is now possible to set a repo as gated from a script:
>>> from huggingface_hub import HfApi
>>> api = HfApi()
>>> api.update_repo_settings(repo_id=repo_id, gated="auto") # Set to "auto", "manual" or False
- [Feature] Add
update_repo_settings
function to HfApi #2447 by @WizKnight in #2502
⚡️ Inference Endpoint API
A few improvements in the InferenceEndpoint
API. It's now possible to set a scale_to_zero_timeout
parameter + to configure secrets when creating or updating an Inference Endpoint.
- Add scale_to_zero_timeout parameter to HFApi.create/update_inference_endpoint by @hommayushi3 in #2463
- Update endpoint.update signature by @Wauplin in #2477
- feat: ✨ allow passing secrets to the inference endpoint client by @LuisBlanche in #2486
💾 Serialization
The torch serialization module now supports tensor subclasses.
We also made sure that now the library is tested with both torch
1.x and 2.x to ensure compatibility.
- Making wrapper tensor subclass to work in serialization by @jerryzh168 in #2440
- Torch: test on 1.11 and latest versions + explicitly load with
weights_only=True
by @Wauplin in #2488
💔 Breaking changes
Breaking changes:
InferenceClient.conversational
task has been removed in favor ofInferenceClient.chat_completion
. Also removedConversationalOutput
data class.- All
InferenceClient
output values are now dataclasses, not dictionaries. list_repo_likers
is now paginated. This means the output is now an iterator instead of a list.
Deprecation:
multi_commit: bool
parameter inupload_folder
is not deprecated, along thecreate_commits_on_pr
. It is now recommended to useupload_large_folder
instead. Thought its API and internals are different, the goal is still to be able to upload many files in several commits.
- Prepare for release 0.25 by @Wauplin in #2400
- Paginate repo likers endpoint by @hanouticelina in #2530
🛠️ Small fixes and maintenance
⚡️ InferenceClient fixes
Thanks to community feedback, we've been able to improve or fix significant things in both the InferenceClient
and its async version AsyncInferenceClient
. This fixes have been mainly focused on the OpenAI-compatible chat_completion
method and the Inference Endpoints services.

😌 QoL improvements
When uploading a folder, we validate the README.md file before hashing all the files, not after.
This should save some precious time when uploading large files and a corrupted model card.
Also, it is now possible to pass a --max-workers
argument when uploading a folder from the CLI
- huggingface-cli upload - Validate README.md before file hashing by @hlky in #2452
- Solved: Need to add the max-workers argument to the huggingface-cli command by @devymex in #2500
All custom exceptions raised by huggingface_hub
are now defined in huggingface_hub.errors
module. This should make it easier to import them for your try/except
statements.
- Define error by @cjfghk5697 in #2444
- Define cache errors in errors.py by @010kim in #2470
At the same occasion, we've reworked how errors are formatted in hf_raise_for_status
to print more relevant information to the users.
- Refacto error parsing (HfHubHttpError) by @Wauplin in #2474
- Raise with more info on 416 invalid range by @Wauplin in #2449
All constants in huggingface_hub
are now imported as a module. This makes it easier to patch their values, for example in a test pipeline.
- Update
constants
import to use module-level access #1172 by @WizKnight in #2453 - Update constants imports with module level access #1172 by @WizKnight in #2469
