From the source

After five years of development, huggingface_hub has reached v1.0 - a milestone that marks the library's maturity as the Python package powering 200,000 dependent libraries and providing core functionality for accessing over 2 million public models, 0.5 million public datasets, and 1 million public Spaces. This release introduces breaking changes designed to support the next decade of open machine learning, driven by a global community of almost 300 contributors and millions of users. Major changes in this release include the migration to httpx as the backend library, a completely redesigned hf CLI (which replaces the deprecated huggingface-cli) featuring a Typer-based interface with a significantly expanded feature set, and full adoption of hf_xet for file transfers, replacing the legacy hf_transfer.
