🔥 Amazing!

Reminder to add the entry to _blog.yml when the thumbnail is ready.


In late 2020, we shipped `huggingface_hub` [v0.0.1](https://github.com/huggingface/huggingface_hub/releases/tag/v0.0.1) with a simple mission: extract the internal logic from `transformers` and create a dedicated library that would unify how to access and share machine learning models and datasets on the Hugging Face Hub. Initially, the library was as straightforward as a Git wrapper for downloading files and managing repositories. Five years and 35+ releases later, `huggingface_hub` has evolved far beyond its origins.

Let's trace that journey.

Very nice! Could you add them to https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/tree/main/blog/huggingface-hub-v1 and put a link in the article? (GH is degrading a lot the videos if I do it myself)

Super cool! Left some suggestions - but feel free to ignore if they don't look relevant to you!

This is phenomenal!

The CLI comes with a [sandboxed installer](https://huggingface.co/docs/huggingface_hub/installation#install-the-hugging-face-cli), making it easy to upgrade without breaking existing dev environments:
