We've moved over 20PB from Git LFS to Xet on the Hub without downtime or data loss. Having things "just work" on a migration of this scale is about as good as it gets.
Now, we're migrating the rest of the Hub https://huggingface.co/blog/migrating-the-hub-to-xet
But how did we get here?
In the early days of joining Hugging Face, we made a few key design decisions:
* There would be no "hard cut-over" from Git LFS to Xet
* A Xet-enabled repository should be able to contain both Xet and LFS files
* Repository migrations from LFS to Xet can run in the background without disrupting downloads or uploads
These were largely driven by our desire to ensure the community could keep working without interruption.
We cover the infrastructure making this all go in this post, specifically:
* An integral piece of infrastructure known internally as the Git LFS Bridge
* Background content migrations that run around the clock
