hf-xet (1.2.0)
Installation
pip install --index-url About this package
Fast transfer of large files with the Hugging Face Hub.
🤗 hf-xet - xet client tech, used in huggingface_hub
Welcome
hf-xet enables huggingface_hub to utilize xet storage for uploading and downloading to HF Hub. Xet storage provides chunk-based deduplication, efficient storage/retrieval with local disk caching, and backwards compatibility with Git LFS. This library is not meant to be used directly, and is instead intended to be used from huggingface_hub.
Key features
♻ chunk-based deduplication implementation: avoid transferring and storing chunks that are shared across binary files (models, datasets, etc).
🤗 Python bindings: bindings for huggingface_hub package.
↔ network communications: concurrent communication to HF Hub Xet backend services (CAS).
🔖 local disk caching: chunk-based cache that sits alongside the existing huggingface_hub disk cache.
Installation
Install the hf_xet package with pip:
pip install hf_xet
Quick Start
hf_xet is not intended to be run independently as it is expected to be used from huggingface_hub, so to get started with huggingface_hub check out the documentation here.
