Support Detrex as a library on Hugging Face

[NielsRogge]

Hi Detrex team,

I've been following your development for quite some time. I'm Niels, working as part of the open-source team at Hugging Face. Fun fact, I contributed DETR to the Transformers library :)

I was wondering whether you would be up for having an integration with the Hugging Face hub as a dedicated library. This would mean that individual Detrex checkpoints would be hosted for free on the Hugging Face hub, along with download stats for each model (similar to models in the Transformers, Diffusers or Timm libraries), better discoverability of your models through appropriate tags (like "object-detection": https://huggingface.co/models?pipeline_tag=object-detection), as well as a dedicated "Detrex" tag which could be added to the list of supported libraries.

This is explained in more detail here: https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/en/models-adding-libraries. Moreover, we could add code snippets using "Use in Detrex" buttons similar to the "Use in Transformers" button.

Along with this integration, it could allow to automatically push models trained using Detrex to the hub and reloading.

Let me know if this interests you!

Kind regards,

Niels

It will be a milestone. @NielsRogge
