Introducing swift-huggingface: The Complete Swift Client for Hugging Face

Hugging Face has announced swift-huggingface, a new Swift package that provides a complete client for the Hugging Face Hub. This new client addresses previous issues like unreliable downloads, confusing authentication, and the lack of a shared cache with the Python ecosystem. Key features include robust file operations with progress tracking and resume support, a flexible TokenProvider pattern for authentication including OAuth, and a Python-compatible cache to prevent duplicate downloads. The library provides complete Hub API coverage and is designed to improve the developer experience for building AI applications in Swift.
