Anyone know what huggingface.co is and why so much network traffic?

I’ve noticed a particular URL (huggingface.co) keeps flagging up on my PFSENSE box and on my DNS server from my Home Assistant server.

I’ve blocked it on my network but I’m noticing Home Assistant regularly trying to point to it. I regularly monitor my network traffic and can honestly I’ve ever noticed before.

Does anyone know what its used for, or why Home Assistant is doing a Philips Hue on me, spamming my network every 10 seconds ?

I’ve been searching, I think it has something to do with piper or whisper.

I removed them both and its stopped.
