HF Hub introduces Storage Regions for US & EU
AI Impact Summary
The Hub now supports Storage Regions, allowing organizations to control where their models and datasets are stored. This is primarily driven by regulatory compliance needs, particularly around GDPR and data sovereignty, and also to improve performance by reducing download and upload latency. Currently, the Hub supports US and EU regions with Asia-Pacific coming soon, and organizations can designate their repositories to these regions via the Hub settings.
Affected Systems
Business Impact
