Inspired by Hugging Face's official MCP server, I've developed a complementary tool that exposes my semantic search API to enhance discovery across the HF platform.
Key capabilities:
- AI-powered semantic search for models and datasets - Parameter count analysis via safetensors metadata - Trending content discovery - Find similar models/datasets functionality - 11 tools total for enhanced ecosystem navigation
The semantic search goes beyond simple keyword matching, understanding context and relationships between different models and datasets.
Example query: "Find around 10 reasoning Hugging Face datasets published in 2025 focusing on topics other than maths and science. Show a link and a short summary for each dataset." (results in video!)
It's just become easier to share your apps on the biggest AI app store (aka HF spaces) for unlimited storage, more visibility and community interactions.
Just pick a React, Svelte, or Vue template when you create your space or add app_build_command: npm run build in your README's YAML and app_file: build/index.html in your README's YAML block.
Playing with Veo3 this morning. Share your prompt if you want me to create videos for you (bonus point if they funnily reference HF/open-source). These videos are "a cat on the moon rapping "I love Hugging Face""!
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.
What are you using to evaluate models or AI systems? So far we're building lighteval & leaderboards on the hub but still feels early & a lot more to build. What would be useful to you?
The meta-llama org just crossed 40,000 followers on Hugging Face. Grateful for all their impact on the field sharing the Llama weights openly and much more!
We need more of this from all other big tech to make the AI more open, collaborative and beneficial to all!
