huggingface-hub 1.16.0 on Python PyPI

⚡ Together goes multimodal on Inference Providers

Together now supports five additional task types beyond chat and text-to-image on Inference Providers:

feature_extraction
text_to_speech
automatic_speech_recognition
image_to_image
text_to_video

from huggingface_hub import InferenceClient

client = InferenceClient(provider="together")

# Embeddings
embeddings = client.feature_extraction("Hello world", model="intfloat/multilingual-e5-large-instruct")

# Text-to-speech
audio = client.text_to_speech("Hello world", model="hexgrad/Kokoro-82M", extra_body={'voice': 'af_heart'})

# Text-to-video
video = client.text_to_video("A cat on the moon", model="Wan-AI/Wan2.2-T2V-A14B")

[Inference] Add embeddings, TTS, ASR, image-to-image and video tasks for Together by @nbroad1881 in #4164

🔗 Centralized `hf://` URI parsing

All scattered ad-hoc hf:// URI parsers throughout the codebase have been consolidated onto the new parse_hf_uri/parse_hf_mount helpers. This brings consistent parsing behavior, a new is_hf_uri public helper for validating URIs, and proper handling of @ in filenames (now treated as literal). The CLI error handler now catches HfUriError and displays a clean message instead of a raw traceback.

🚨 Breaking Changes

This migration includes several breaking changes: BucketUrl.handle has been renamed to BucketUrl.uri (type changed from str to HfUri, use .to_uri() for the string form), Volume.to_hf_handle() has been renamed to Volume.to_uri(), single-segment repo IDs (e.g. gpt2) are no longer supported in HfFileSystem paths or CLI -v flags — you must use the namespace/name format instead.

🖥️ CLI

Global `--no-truncate` flag for CLI tables

A new --no-truncate global formatting flag disables the ... shortening of scalar values in human-mode tables, letting you see full IDs, names, and other long text at a glance. List- and dict-valued columns (e.g. tags) remain shortened in human mode since they can be arbitrarily long; use --format json for those. When any cell is truncated, human tables now print a one-line hint at the bottom pointing you to the right flag.

# Show full scalar values in table output
hf models ls --no-truncate

🔒 Token file permissions hardened

Token files written by huggingface_hub (~/.cache/huggingface/token and ~/.cache/huggingface/stored_tokens) were previously created with Python's default modes, leaving them world-readable on most systems. This PR sets file permissions to 0o600 and parent directory permissions to 0o700 after every write, bringing huggingface_hub in line with industry-standard tools like GitHub CLI, AWS CLI, and Google Cloud SDK. Pre-existing installations will converge to safe permissions on the next token save. The chmod calls are wrapped in try/except for Windows, which doesn't support POSIX modes.
