Introducing swift-huggingface: The Complete Swift Client for Hugging Face
What changed
Introducing swift-huggingface: The Complete Swift Client for Hugging Face Today, we're announcing swift-huggingface, a new Swift package that provides a complete client for the Hugging Face Hub.You can start using it today as a standalone package, and it will soon integrate into swift-transformers as a replacement for its current HubApi implementation. When we released swift-transformers 1.0 earlier this year, we heard loud and clear from the community: - Downloads were slow and unreliable. Large model files (often several gigabytes) would fail partway through with no way to resume.
Why it matters
A concrete addition to Practical AI: Tools, Models & Frameworks: it changes what's available to builders today rather than being general commentary.
