Presets reach reviewed endpoints, Hub revisions resolved once per load

By RepoJournal · Filed · About Hugging Face · Composed from the cited sources · methodology

Hugging Face's tooling got more predictable today: harbor-hf lets native presets run against reviewed non-router endpoints, transformers stopped threading a private commit hash through every loader, and lerobot's LanceDB reader recovers from failed opens.

feat(inference): allow reviewed endpoint connections for native presets huggingface/harbor-hf

by osolmaz

A native preset such as `pi` previously could not target a model on a reviewed non-router HTTPS endpoint like a Hugging Face Inference Endpoint, because the inference grant only accepted a Workbench recipe subject and preset runs always got the shared router URL. A grant can now name a native preset identity (agent slug plus version), and the run submission selects that connection, carrying its...

Resolve the Hub revision once per load instead of passing a private _commit_hash around huggingface/transformers

by Wauplin

Transformers now resolves the requested Hub revision to a commit hash once per load via `HfApi.resolve_revision` at each public loading entry point, then passes the resulting `ResolvedRevision` through as the ordinary `revision` argument. The private `_commit_hash` plumbing is gone, so code reading that internal attribute will no longer find it.

LanceDB loader quick wins: fail-closed open, lazy blob handles, row ids resolved once huggingface/lerobot

by AyushExel

AyushExel landed fixes from running the Lance reader on a large dataset, per the PR: `_ensure_open` now publishes its handles last so a transient mid-open error no longer leaves a reader that fails every later read with 'NoneType' object is not subscriptable, and the next read simply retries. Blob handles resolve on the first fallback read rather than per new file each batch, removing one reque...

docs: document lancedb dataset backend (#4567) huggingface/lerobot

by Ayush Chaurasia

The LanceDB dataset backend now has documentation that leads with what it provides, names the storage format, and mentions foxglove.

feat(inference): allow reviewed endpoint connections for native presets huggingface/harbor-hf

by Onur Solmaz

The same reviewed-endpoint work also landed as a commit on harbor-hf, with the grant subject resolving to either a Workbench recipe or a native preset identity of agent slug and version.
