Scan a model directly from a public repository on Hugging Face by specifying the repository URL or ID. The model is automatically downloaded and scanned by the HiddenLayer AI Security Platform.
Four concurrent scans is the maximum allowed for a tenant by default. Concurrent scans is the combined total of all SaaS scans, like Local and Community scans. Adding more model files while scans are in progress will put the unscanned files in a queue and process when resources are available. The concurrent scan limit can be increased for your tenant by submitting a request through HiddenLayer’s Customer Support portal or by emailing Support at [email protected].
Private or gated Hugging Face repositories are not supported.
