Coding agents are 6× more efficient on the Hub with the new CLI

hugging face released a rebuilt hf cli designed specifically for coding agents, which now account for nearly 100m hub requests from tools like claude code and codex. the tool auto-detects agents via environment variables and switches to a dense, token-efficient output format using tsv instead of human-friendly tables and colors. this dual-mode design aims to streamline agent workflows without degrading the user experience for developers. benchmarks indicate that for complex tasks, the optimized cli reduces token usage by 83% compared to agents hand-rolling api calls. the update includes 'next-command hints' to help agents chain actions automatically.
