Migrating the Hub from Git LFS to Xet

Hugging Face has deployed Xet as the Hub’s storage backend, migrating hundreds of petabytes and millions of repos with minimal disruption. The migration relies on a Git LFS Bridge and background content migrations to support both LFS and Xet, allowing a no-hard-cutover transition. The approach aims to scale storage with AI workloads while preserving existing workflows.
