Screenshot of running HF News Aggregator.
Built my 1st app exclusively using @hf.co Hub features! It helps me keep track/summarize the latest HF News. Uses Datasets, Inference Endpoints, the newly announced `hf jobs`, and Spaces to visualize results. Check it out here: huggingface.co/spaces/rajat...
We are in such a weird place where caring about other people is political.
So much fun to be a part of this team, and at HF in general! 100PB here we come!
Screenshot of terminal with cmd line to launch llama-server Qwen3 model from HF. Below terminal is browser window showing llama-server running with the prompt: "Can you help me write config files for WezTerm?"
I regularly forget how powerful locally running LLMs are. Today's example, want to configure your awesome WezTerm but can't bring yourself to read docs/write Lua code. Just have Qwen3 do it for you.
I like llama-server best, and download models from HF, from here: github.com/ggml-org/lla...
I was wrong (yay!). Music protected until 70 years *after* artist death, if copyrighted. info.xposuremusic.com/article/how-...
So I can continue to listen to 90s music, knowing that the artists are still getting royalties from there work.
The 90s playlist: open.spotify.com/playlist/4BF...
If I listen to 90s music, now that some of it is > 30 years old, does this mean Spotify doesn't pay royalties to the artists? Do royalties stop when copyright ends?
(I'm thinking about this as "Mother" by Danzig is playing in the background.)
31% Dedupe!
The entire Xet team is so excited to bring Llama 4 to the @hf.co community. Every byte downloaded comes through our infrastructure ❤️ 🤗 ❤️ 🤗 ❤️ 🤗
Read the whole post to see more about these models.
It's finally here ❤️
Build faster than ever on @hf.co starting today with 10x better upload/download performance. ⚡
Xet storage is rolling out access across the Hub; join the waitlist now! 🚀
ROFL "Wombmate". Wombmate == OG roommate.
On the Xet team at @huggingface.bsky.social we're always looking for ways to move bytes to computer near you as fast as possible.
To do this, we're redesigning the upload and download infrastructure on the Hub. This post describes how, check the thread for details 🧵

Could you imagine giving a ⭐-rating to a bridge every time you cross it?
Infrastructure - even software infrastructure - is meant to be unsexy & work. It doesn't need Likes, Stars, and Re-posts to measure its impact. It uses adoption and utility to measure its impact.
So much fun to work on this with the Xet-team!
I would love to see data around this. My intuition is priorities shift with starting a family and that slows career transitions. Also as tenure and impact increases the opportunity cost of establishing yourself at a new place deters folks.
