What is huggingface-hub?

A command-line tool for working with Hugging Face Hub, a website that hosts machine-learning models, datasets, and apps. It can search, download, upload, query, and manage those resources.

Use it to download or upload models and datasets, manage Hub repositories, query datasets, and deploy inference endpoints or Spaces.

It provides terminal commands for handling Hugging Face resources without needing to perform each task through the website.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00043	$0.00908
Opus 5.5	$0.00017	$0.00363

Security

Grade C, and why

huggingface-hub scanned grade C with 2 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
