🎉 New in Azure Model Catalog: NVIDIA Parakeet TDT 0.6B V2

We're excited to welcome Parakeet TDT 0.6B V2—a state-of-the-art English speech-to-text model—to the Azure Foundry Model Catalog.

What is it?

A powerful ASR model built on the FastConformer-TDT architecture, offering:
🕒 Word-level timestamps
✍️ Automatic punctuation & capitalization
🔊 Strong performance across noisy and real-world audio

It runs with NeMo, NVIDIA’s optimized inference engine.

Want to give it a try? 🎧 You can test it with your own audio (up to 3 hours) on Hugging Face Spaces before deploying.If it fits your need, deploy easily from the Hugging Face Hub or Azure ML Studio with secure, scalable infrastructure!

📘 Learn more by following this guide written by @alvarobartt

If you want to dive into how the HF team worked with @seungrokj at @AMD
to optimize kernels on MI300, you should give a read to our latest blog!

Such a great educational material for anyone curious about the world of optimizing low level ML.

In case you missed it, Hugging Face expanded its collaboration with Azure a few weeks ago with a curated catalog of 10,000 models, accessible from Azure AI Foundry and Azure ML!

@alvarobartt cooked during these last days to prepare the one and only documentation you need, if you wanted to deploy Hugging Face models on Azure. It comes with an FAQ, great guides and examples on how to deploy VLMs, LLMs, smolagents and more to come very soon.

We need your feedback: come help us and let us know what else you want to see, which model we should add to the collection, which model task we should prioritize adding, what else we should build a tutorial for. You’re just an issue away on our GitHub repo!

Hackathons in Paris on July 5th and 6th!

Hugging Face just wrapped 4 months of deep work with AMD to push kernel-level optimization on their MI300X GPUs. Now, it's time to share everything we learned.

Join us in Paris at STATION F for a hands-on weekend of workshops and a hackathon focused on making open-source LLMs faster and more efficient on AMD.

Prizes, amazing host speakers, ... if you want more details, navigate to https://lu.ma/fmvdjmur!

Excited to onboard FeatherlessAI on Hugging Face as an Inference Provider - they bring a fleet of 6,700+ LLMs on-demand on the Hugging Face Hub 🤯

Starting today, you'd be able to access all those LLMs (OpenAI compatible) on HF model pages and via OpenAI client libraries too! 💥

Go, play with it today: https://huggingface.co/blog/inference-providers-featherless

P.S. They're also bringing on more GPUs to support all your concurrent requests!

Today we launched Training Cluster as a Service, to make the new DGX Cloud Lepton supercloud easily accessible to AI researchers.

Hugging Face will collaborate with NVIDIA to provision and set up GPU training clusters to make them available for the duration of training runs.

Hugging Face organizations can sign up here: https://huggingface.co/training-cluster

New policy blogpost! The EU is speaking a lot about sovereignty. A cornerstone of digital sovereignty is and has to be open source.
As AI becomes more central to everything from public services to national security, the ability to govern, adapt, and understand these systems is no longer optional. Sovereign control over data, infrastructure, technology, and regulation is vital, and open source AI provides the foundation.
In my latest blog post, I explore how open source:
✅ Enables democratic oversight
✅ Reduces dependency on foreign platforms
✅ Supports regional innovation and infrastructure
✅ Advances regulatory and technological sovereignty
🛠 From small transparent models like OLMo2 to tools like Hugging Face Transformers or Sarvam-M for Indian languages, open source efforts are already powering sovereign AI ecosystems worldwide.
🔎 Read more about how open source AI is reshaping autonomy, innovation, and trust in the digital age:

hey hey @mradermacher - VB from Hugging Face here, we'd love to onboard you over to our optimised xet backend! 💥

as you know we're in the process of upgrading our storage backend to xet (which helps us scale and offer blazingly fast upload/ download speeds too): https://huggingface.co/blog/xet-on-the-hub and now that we are certain that the backend can scale with even big models like Llama 4/ Qwen 3 - we;re moving to the next phase of inviting impactful orgs and users on the hub over as you are a big part of the open source ML community - we would love to onboard you next and create some excitement about it in the community too!

in terms of actual steps - it should be as simple as one of the org admins to join hf.co/join/xet - we'll take care of the rest.

p.s. you'd need to have a the latest hf_xet version of huggingface_hub lib but everything else should be the same: https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/storage-backends#using-xet-storage

p.p.s. this is fully backwards compatible so everything will work as it should! 🤗

Transcribing 1 hour of audio for less than $0.01 🤯

@mfuntowicz cooked with 8x faster Whisper speech recognition - whisper-large-v3-turbo transcribes at 100x real time on a $0.80/hr L4 GPU!

How they did it: https://huggingface.co/blog/fast-whisper-endpoints

1-click deploy with HF Inference Endpoints: https://endpoints.huggingface.co/new?repository=openai%2Fwhisper-large-v3-turbo&vendor=aws&region=us-east&accelerator=gpu&instance_id=aws-us-east-1-nvidia-l4-x1&task=automatic-speech-recognition&no_suggested_compute=true

Enterprise orgs now enable serverless Inference Providers for all members
- includes $2 free usage per org member (e.g. an Enterprise org with 1,000 members share $2,000 free credit each month)
- admins can set a monthly spend limit for the entire org
- works today with Together, fal, Novita, Cerebras and HF Inference.

Here's the doc to bill Inference Providers usage to your org: https://huggingface.co/docs/inference-providers/pricing#organization-billing

‼️ 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:

pip install -U huggingface_hub[hf_xet]


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.

Blog post: https://huggingface.co/blog/xet-on-the-hub
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.

from huggingface_hub import InferenceClient
client = InferenceClient(provider="fal-ai", bill_to="my-cool-company")
image = client.text_to_image(
    "A majestic lion in a fantasy forest",
    model="black-forest-labs/FLUX.1-schnell",
)
image.save("lion.png")


- 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!
