Introducing Skops: Scikit-learn Model Sharing and Deployment on Hugging Face Hub
Hugging Face introduced Skops, a library designed to facilitate sharing, deploying, and documenting scikit-learn models on the Hugging Face Hub. The tooling aims to bring traditional ML model lifecycle practices (versioning, model cards, inference) to the sklearn ecosystem. This represents an extension of the Hub's model-sharing infrastructure beyond deep learning frameworks.
