 MLX-LM supports popular LLM architectures including LLaMA, Phi-2, Mistral, and Qwen. Models other than supported ones can easily be downloaded as follows:
 
 ```py
-pip install huggingface_hub hf_transfer

 ## Faster downloads
 
 If you are running on a machine with high bandwidth,
-you can increase your download speed with [`hf_transfer`](https://github.com/huggingface/hf_transfer),
-a Rust-based library developed to speed up file transfers with the Hub.
+you can speed up downloads by allowing `hf_xet` to run on all CPU cores. `hf_xet` is a Rust-based package leveraging the new [Xet storage backend](https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/en/xet/index) to optimize file transfers with chunk-based deduplication. `hf_xet` is enabled by default but with lower performances to avoid bloating available CPU and bandwidth, which could degrade UX.
 
 ```bash
-pip install "huggingface_hub[hf_transfer]"
-HF_HUB_ENABLE_HF_TRANSFER=1 hf download ...
+pip install -U huggingface_hub

-> `hf_transfer` is a power user tool!
-> It is tested and production-ready,
-> but it lacks user-friendly features like advanced error handling or proxies.
