| - **Use separate repositories for different model weights**: | ||
| Create individual repositories for each variant of the same architecture. This lets you group them into a [collection](https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/en/collections), which users prefer when browsing many options. It also improves visibility because each model has its own URL (`hf.co/org/model-name`) and is easier to search. |

It also improves visibility because each model has its own URL (`hf.co/org/model-name`), makes search easier, and provides download counts for each one of your models. |

not sure if needed but we could also mention that it makes it easier to integrate with downstream libraries too.

@Vaibhavs10 how do you mean? I thought downstream libraries only benefit from transformers integration. If you could guide me into understanding this point better I will add it here.

| Bonus: a recognised library also allows you to track downloads of your model over time. | ||

maybe we could link this in the registered library bit: https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/en/models-adding-libraries

| 1. **Library Integration**: If possible, add support for one of the many [libraries integrated with the Hugging Face Hub](https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/models-libraries) (such as Transformers or Diffusers). This integration significantly increases your model's accessibility and provides users with code snippets for working with your model. | ||

Not sure how this will render in a table, given that the left button is very wide. I tried to check here, but images are not shown for some reason:

To note: I have added an
assetsfolder, which will be deleted later, once I have a green signal on the assets. I will add the assets to the hub, and link the URL.The PR is made to refactor the current model checklist, with an idea of being more concise and actionable insights. I felt the doc also did not have example images, so have added them.
I am open to feedback as this has not been reviewed by and HF team member in the past, so I am open to closing it as well if there is no need of this at the current moment. 🤗
