Our Reading
The announcement sounds ambitious.
Hugging Face urges users to rotate access tokens. Because that’s exactly what you want to do with your weekend. Rotate tokens. Review account activity. Just another day in the life of a responsible AI model hub user. The company is “investigating” the incident. How reassuring. Nothing says “we’ve got this” like a good investigation. And by “good”, we mean ” opaque and slow”.
