Frequently Asked Questions

Why can't I download models from Hugging Face?

Model download issues can be due to HF outages or network problems. Check our status above and the Hub/Model Downloads component. For production systems, consider caching models locally or using the HF Hub library's caching features.

Why is Hugging Face Inference API slow or failing?

The Inference API may experience issues during outages or high demand. Check the Inference component status. Consider using dedicated Inference Endpoints for production workloads, which have better availability guarantees.

Are Hugging Face Spaces affected during outages?

Spaces run on Hugging Face infrastructure and may be affected during platform outages. Check the Spaces component status. Your Space's underlying model downloads may also fail during Hub outages even if Spaces infrastructure is operational.

Does HF downtime affect my local model downloads?

Once models are cached locally by the transformers library, they don't require HF to be online. Enable offline mode with HF_HUB_OFFLINE=1 environment variable. However, you won't be able to download new models or updates during outages.
