Tips
- Use
sort="trendingScore"to find what's popular now - Use
sort="downloads"to find battle-tested options - Set
mcp=trueinspace_searchto find Spaces usable as tools - Use
include_readme=trueinhub_repo_detailsfor full model/dataset documentation - For jobs accessing private repos, always include
secrets: {"HF_TOKEN": "$HF_TOKEN"} - Use
dynamic_space(operation="discover")to see all available Space-based tasks

VerifiedTrustedOfficial
Train or fine-tune sentence-transformers models across `SentenceTransformer` (bi-encoder, dense or static embedding model for retrieval, similarity, clustering, classification, paraphrase mining, dedup, multimodal), `CrossEncoder` (reranker, pair scoring for two-stage retrieval / pair classification), `SparseEncoder` (SPLADE, sparse embedding model for learned-sparse retrieval), and `MultiVectorEncoder` (ColBERT / late-interaction, per-token embeddings scored with MaxSim). Covers loss selection, hard-negative mining, evaluators, distillation, LoRA, Matryoshka, and Hugging Face Hub publishing. Use for any sentence-transformers training task.

huggingface/hf-cloud-sagemaker-deployment-planner
devops
VerifiedTrustedOfficial
Plan and coordinate the deployment of a model to Amazon SageMaker AI. Use this skill whenever the user wants to deploy, host, serve, or expose a model on SageMaker or AWS — including phrases like "deploy a model", "host this LLM on AWS", "serve this embedding model", "deploy a reranker", "deploy a text-to-image / diffusion model", "host this for async inference", "create an endpoint", "serve my fine-tuned model", or any request that involves making a model available for inference on AWS. Use this even when the user is vague (e.g. "I just want to get this running on AWS, you figure it out"). Works for text-generation LLMs, embedding models, rerankers, classifiers, text-to-image / diffusion models — picks the right serving stack and chooses between real-time and async inference. This is the entry-point skill for SageMaker deployment work — it asks clarifying questions, picks a deployment pathway, and coordinates the other deployment skills.
