Say hello to hf: a faster, friendlier Hugging Face CLI ✨
We are glad to announce a long-awaited quality-of-life improvement: the Hugging Face CLI has been officially renamed from huggingface-cli to hf!
So... why this change?
Typing huggingface-cli constantly gets old fast. More importantly, the CLI’s command structure became messy as new features were added over time (upload, download, cache management, repo management, etc.). Renaming the CLI is a chance to reorganize commands into a clearer, more consistent format.
We decided not to reinvent the wheel and instead follow a well-known CLI pattern: hf <resource> <action>. Isn't hf auth login easier to type and remember?
While a fix is being implemented (https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/pull/12957) I want to leave the models up for visibility and continued discussion, but want to prevent accidental downloads of known broken models (even though there are settings that could fix it at runtime for now)
With this goal, I've enabled access requests. I don't really want your data, so I'm sorry that I don't think there's a way around that? But that's what I'm gonna do for now, and I'll remove the gate when a fix is up and verified and I have a chance to re-convert and quantize!
