Hugging Face Hub: Configure progress bars. This has been driving me a little bit spare. Every time I try and build anything against a library that uses huggingface_hub
somewhere under the hood to access models (most recently trying out MLX-VLM) I inevitably get output like this every single time I execute the model:
Fetching 11 files: 100%|██████████████████| 11/11 [00:00<00:00, 15871.12it/s]
I finally tracked down a solution, after many breakpoint()
interceptions. You can fix it like this:
from huggingface_hub.utils import disable_progress_bars disable_progress_bars()
Or by setting the HF_HUB_DISABLE_PROGRESS_BARS
environment variable, which in Python code looks like this:
os.environ["HF_HUB_DISABLE_PROGRESS_BARS"] = '1'
