Hugging Face ships `kernels cache ls` CLI for kernel variant inspection
RisingSayak · x · 2026-10-27
- The Hugging Face Kernels project shipped a new CLI command, kernels cache ls, listing kernel versions stored in the local HF cache.
- Beyond the standard hf cache ls, it shows per-version build variants (e.g. torch210-cxx11-cu130-x8664-linux) plus size and access timestamps.
- Flags include --cache-dir, --json, --no-truncate, and --show-warnings for cache inconsistency details; it runs fully locally without downloading kernel code.
- The author (RisingSayak, on the Kernels team) is soliciting suggestions for further CLI commands.
