Introducing Storage Buckets on the Hugging Face Hub

AnnouncementProductMar 10, 2026

Hugging Face introduced Storage Buckets, non-versioned, S3-like object storage on the Hub designed for intermediate ML artifacts like checkpoints and logs. Backed by Xet, the chunk-based storage backend deduplicates content across files, reducing bandwidth and storage costs. A pre-warming feature partners with AWS and GCP to bring data closer to compute regions. Users can manage Buckets via the hf CLI or the huggingface_hub Python library.
