Community mirror for the Hugging Face Hub

hf-mirror.eu is a volunteer-operated read-through cache of huggingface.co serving model weights, datasets and tokenizers to clients in Europe. It exists to relieve pressure on the upstream CDN and to provide a stable fallback for academic and CI workloads. This service is not affiliated with Hugging Face Inc.

Quick start

Set the mirror endpoint via environment variable — no client patches required:

# shell
export HF_ENDPOINT=https://hf-mirror.eu

# python (huggingface_hub ≥ 0.20)
from huggingface_hub import snapshot_download
snapshot_download(repo_id="mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.3")

Files are fetched on-demand; first request may incur a cold-cache delay of 5–60 s. See documentation for proxy headers, range requests and rate limits.
