Why this matters Arcee on the Hub, already What's in the partnership What's next
Today we're super excited to announce the signing of a multi-million dollar strategic commercial collaboration with Arcee AI, one of the fastest-rising American AI labs. Going forward, Hugging Face will be the exclusive home for all of Arcee's models, datasets and agent traces: not just their public releases, but their private models, proprietary datasets & agent traces too. Every weight they train and every dataset they curate, open or confidential, will be stored on and distributed through the Hugging Face Hub.
That second part is worth pausing on. Plenty of companies publish their open models on Hugging Face. Arcee is going further: trusting the Hub as the production storage layer for their entire catalog, including the private artifacts their enterprise business runs on.
The private side is powered by Buckets, our private storage product, which Arcee helped shape as a launch partner from day one. Buckets gives teams simple per-TB storage with egress and CDN included, optimized for AI artifacts: fast reads and writes of weights and datasets from anywhere. Because it sits outside any single cloud, it makes Arcee fully compute agnostic: they can train on any provider, spin clusters up and down wherever capacity is cheapest, and their models and data follow them with no egress fees and no lock-in. Storage is the home. Compute is wherever you need it that day.
