HuggingFace Bottlenecks Halt Validation, Storage Migration Planned
Share
Subnet τeuτonic experienced widespread validation outages tied to HuggingFace rate limits and concurrent download issues. Team identified high-concurrency hf-xet downloads as a culprit and applied workarounds (single-worker mode, Pro account upgrade, R2 bucket migration for some users). Validation resumed after several hours. Team is exploring full migration away from HuggingFace due to recurring Pod and rate-limit constraints.
- •HuggingFace rate limits and high-concurrency downloads caused validator lockups for 1+ hour
- •Workarounds: reduce max_workers to 1, upgrade to HuggingFace Pro, switch to R2 for storage
- •Team investigating full storage migration; running parallel fixes to current system
- •Conviction v2 rolled out; mainnet merge timeline unclear
