Say hello to `hf`: a faster, friendlier Hugging Face CLI ✨

Hugging Face announced a major update to its CLI, renaming it from huggingface-cli to hf and reorganizing commands into a "hf <resource> <action>" pattern. Additionally, a new "hf jobs" command was introduced, allowing users to run scripts or Docker images on Hugging Face infrastructure with pay-as-you-go billing, available to Pro and Team/Enterprise users.
