Hugging Face Unveils New CLI `hf`

·2025.07.25 09:00

Key point

Hugging Face has released a new CLI called `hf` with a redesigned command structure, along with `hf jobs`, a serverless job execution service.

Details

The Hugging Face CLI has been officially renamed from the existing huggingface-cli to hf. This overhaul aims to make the command structure more intuitive and consistent.

The new CLI adopts the hf <resource> <action> pattern, making the command structure clearer.

  • hf auth: Manage authentication (login, logout, etc.)
  • hf repo: Manage repositories
  • hf upload / hf download: Upload/download files and folders
  • hf cache: Manage the local cache

The existing huggingface-cli will be kept for backward compatibility, and using the old commands will display a warning to use the new hf command instead.

Additionally, a new service called hf jobs has been introduced. This is a pay-as-you-go service that lets users select the hardware specifications they want and run scripts or Docker images on Hugging Face's infrastructure.
