‼️ huggingface_hub's v0.30.0 is out with our biggest update of the past two years!
Full release notes: https://github.com/huggingface/huggingface_hub/releases/tag/v0.30.0.
🚀 Ready. Xet. Go!
Xet is a groundbreaking new protocol for storing large objects in Git repositories, designed to replace Git LFS. Unlike LFS, which deduplicates files, Xet operates at the chunk level—making it a game-changer for AI builders collaborating on massive models and datasets. Our Python integration is powered by [xet-core](https://github.com/huggingface/xet-core), a Rust-based package that handles all the low-level details.
You can start using Xet today by installing the optional dependency:
With that, you can seamlessly download files from Xet-enabled repositories! And don’t worry—everything remains fully backward-compatible if you’re not ready to upgrade yet.

Docs: https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/en/storage-backends#xet
⚡ Inference Providers
- We’re thrilled to introduce Cerebras and Cohere as official inference providers! This expansion strengthens the Hub as the go-to entry point for running inference on open-weight models.
- Novita is now our 3rd provider to support text-to-video task after Fal.ai and Replicate.
- Centralized billing: manage your budget and set team-wide spending limits for Inference Providers! Available to all Enterprise Hub organizations.
- No more timeouts when generating videos, thanks to async calls. Available right now for Fal.ai, expecting more providers to leverage the same structure very soon!

Important notice 🚨
For Inference Providers who have built support for our Billing API (currently: Fal, Novita, HF-Inference – with more coming soon), we've started enabling Pay as you go (=PAYG)
What this means is that you can use those Inference Providers beyond the free included credits, and they're charged to your HF account.
You can see it on this view: any provider that does not have a "Billing disabled" badge, is PAYG-compatible.

SmolVLM-2 and SigLIP-2 are now part of
They're added on top of the v4.49.0 release, and can be installed from the following tags:
This marks a new beginning for the release process of transformers. For the past five years, we've been doing monthly releases featuring many models (v4.49.0, the latest release, features 9 new architectures).
Starting with SmolVLM-2 & SigLIP2, we'll now additionally release tags supporting new models on a stable branch. These models are therefore directly available for use by installing from the tag itself. These tags will continue to be updated with fixes applied to these models.
Going forward, continue expecting software releases following semantic versioning: v4.50.0 will have ~10 new architectures compared to v4.49.0, as well as a myriad of new features, improvements and bug fixes. Accompanying these software releases, we'll release tags offering brand new models as fast as possible, to make them accessible to all immediately.

Inference-time scaling meets Flux.1-Dev (and others) 🔥
Presenting a simple re-implementation of "Inference-time scaling diffusion models beyond denoising steps" by Ma et al.
I did the simplest random search strategy, but results can potentially be improved with better-guided search methods.
Supports Gemini 2 Flash & Qwen2.5 as verifiers for "LLMGrading" 🤗
The steps are simple:
For each round:
1> Starting by sampling 2 starting noises with different seeds.
2> Score the generations w.r.t a metric.
3> Obtain the best generation from the current round.
If you have more compute budget, go to the next search round. Scale the noise pool (
This constitutes the random search method as done in the paper by Google DeepMind.
Code, more results, and a bunch of other stuff are in the repository. Check it out here: https://github.com/sayakpaul/tt-scale-flux/ 🤗

We have been cooking a couple of fine-tuning runs on CogVideoX with finetrainers, smol datasets, and LoRA to generate cool video effects like crushing, dissolving, etc.
We are also releasing a LoRA extraction utility from a fully fine-tuned checkpoint. I know that kind of stuff has existed since eternity, but the quality on video models was nothing short of spectacular. Below are some links:
* Models and datasets:
finetrainers
* finetrainers: https://github.com/a-r-r-o-w/finetrainers
* LoRA extraction: https://github.com/huggingface/diffusers/blob/main/scripts/extract_lora_from_model.py

We have authored a post to go over the state of video generation in the Diffusers ecosystem 🧨
We cover the models supported, the knobs of optims our users can fire, fine-tuning, and more 🔥
5-6GBs for HunyuanVideo, sky is the limit 🌌 🤗

In the past seven days, the Diffusers team has shipped:
1. Two new video models
2. One new image model
3. Two new quantization backends
4. Three new fine-tuning scripts
5. Multiple fixes and library QoL improvements
Coffee on me if someone can guess 1 - 4 correctly.
