Hugging Face Hub adds spaCy integration: upload pipelines, NER inference, and accelerated deployment

AI Impact Summary

spaCy pipelines can now be uploaded to Hugging Face Hub with auto-generated metadata, and the inference API provides out-of-the-box NER support, reducing custom hosting work. The integration leverages the huggingface_hub library and spaCy CLI to packaging and deploy pipelines, enabling a smooth path from prototype to production via simple pip installs and the Accelerated Inference flow. This accelerates collaboration and standardization of spaCy models (e.g., en_core_web_sm) across teams by centralizing sharing and deployment in a single ecosystem.
