How to create a Hugging Face token

To create a Hugging Face Access Token, follow these steps:

1. Go to your Hugging Face account settings. Confirm your identity if requested by entering your credentials.
2. Select the "+ Create new token" button.
3. Set the "Token type" to Read.
4. Enter a name for your token in the "Token name" field.
5. Select the "Create token" button.
6. A "Save your Access Token" prompt will appear. Copy the generated token.

We recommend you keep the "Save your Access Token" prompt open until you've securely stored your token as a FlexAI Secret, as you won't be able to view it again.

Create a FlexAI Secret for your Hugging Face Access Token

To securely store your Hugging Face Access Token, you need to create a FlexAI Secret. Follow the instructions below based on your preferred method:

1. Create a Secret by using the flexai secret create command, which will receive the name of the secret as its only argument. In this case we will use hf_token to store a Hugging Face Access Token.

   flexai secret create hf_token

2. You will be prompted to enter the value for the secret. You can either type in the value directly or paste it. In any case, the value will not be displayed in the terminal.

   flexai secret create hf_token
   Secret Value: █
