Is Hugging Face down right now?

The box at the top of this page answers that live. Degraded calls Hugging Face every minute, and shows what we measured next to what the official status page says.

Official status pages are updated by hand and usually only after an incident is confirmed. Slowdowns often never get posted. We time real requests, so a slowdown shows up here within minutes.

Every minute we call the Hugging Face API from Cloudflare's network. An answer of any kind, even "unauthorized", means the service is up; server errors, rate limit errors and timeouts count as failures. We say it is down after 3 failures in a row.
