hey hey @mradermacher - VB from Hugging Face here, we'd love to onboard you over to our optimised xet backend! 💥
as you know we're in the process of upgrading our storage backend to xet (which helps us scale and offer blazingly fast upload/ download speeds too): https://huggingface.co/blog/xet-on-the-hub and now that we are certain that the backend can scale with even big models like Llama 4/ Qwen 3 - we;re moving to the next phase of inviting impactful orgs and users on the hub over as you are a big part of the open source ML community - we would love to onboard you next and create some excitement about it in the community too!
in terms of actual steps - it should be as simple as one of the org admins to join hf.co/join/xet - we'll take care of the rest.
