Hugging Face updated its Model Card Guidelines on July 2, 2026 by adding navigation references to agent-related documentation sections. The change added two new entries to the documentation index: 'Session Traces' and 'Format' under the Agents section. This is a documentation reorganization that does not alter substantive model card requirements, evaluation processes, or governance obligations.
This change is a documentation navigation update only. No operational changes to model card requirements, data handling, or governance processes have occurred. The updated guidelines continue to apply as previously established.
The updated guidelines now provide clearer navigation to agent-related documentation sections within the existing Model Card Guidelines framework. This improves discoverability of agent documentation for developers working with agent systems on the Hugging Face Hub.
