Doing a lot of benchmarking and visualization work, which means I'm always searching for interesting repos in terms of file types, size, branches, and overall structure.
To help, I built a Space jsulz/repo-info that lets you search for any repo and get back:
- Treemap of the repository, color coded by file/directory size
- Repo branches and their size
- Cumulative size of different file types (e.g., the total size of all the safetensors in the repo)
And because I'm interested in how this will fit in our work to leverage content-defined chunking for versioning repos on the Hub
- https://huggingface.co/blog/from-files-to-chunks - everything has the number of chunks (1 chunk = 64KB) as well as the total size in bytes.
Some of the treemaps are pretty cool. Attached are black-forest-labs/FLUX.1-dev and for fun laion/laion-audio-preview (which has nearly 10k .tar files 🤯)

Something I love about working at Hugging Face is the opportunity to design and work in public. Right now, we’re redesigning the architecture that supports uploads and downloads on the Hub.
Datasets and models are growing fast, and so are the challenges of storing and transferring them efficiently. To keep up, we're introducing a new protocol for uploads and downloads, supported by a content-addressed store (CAS).
Here’s what’s coming:
📦 Smarter uploads: Chunk-level management enables advanced deduplication, compression, and reduces redundant transfers, speeding up uploads.
⚡ Efficient downloads: High throughput and low latency ensure fast access, even during high-demand model releases.
🔒 Enhanced security: Validate uploads before storage to block malicious or invalid data.
We analyzed 24 hours of global upload activity in October (88 countries, 130TB of data!) to design a system that scales with your needs.
The result? A proposed infrastructure with CAS nodes in us-east-1, eu-west-3, and ap-southeast-1.
