Hugging Face adds 'Base only' toggle to filter out finetunes and quantized models
No more scrolling through thousands of LoRA adapters to find the original model.
Deep Dive
A feature that was requested a lot: https://huggingface.co/models?base_model_relation=base
Key Points
- New 'Base only' filter lives at huggingface.co/models?base_model_relation=base
- Hides all fine-tuned, quantized, and adapter variants from search results
- Addresses a long-standing community request to reduce model page clutter
- Helps developers quickly identify original foundation models like Llama 3 or Mistral
Why It Matters
Saves ML engineers time by showing only original base models, reducing search noise on the largest open model hub.
