Hugging Face Hub snapshot_download allow_patterns wildcard glob patterns matching files official documentation

💡 Result:

Yes. `snapshot_download` accepts `allow_patterns` as either a string or a list of strings; only files matching at least one pattern are downloaded. The official guide demonstrates a wildcard: `allow_patterns="*.json"`. ([github.com](https://github.com/huggingface/huggingface_hub/blob/main/src%2Fhuggingface_hub%2F_snapshot_download.py?utm_source=openai))

```python
from huggingface_hub import snapshot_download

snapshot_download(
    repo_id="org/repo",
    allow_patterns=["*.json", "weights/*.safetensors"],
)
```

The docs establish that patterns filter repo files and support wildcard examples; exact matches depend on the repository’s file paths.

Match allow_patterns with glob semantics.

extra_patterns are documented as patterns and are passed to snapshot_download, which supports wildcards. Exact membership at line 409 can omit files selected by a wildcard from the metadata coverage check.

Review comment at @fastembed/common/model_management.py around lines 409 - 414:
Update the repository file filtering and metadata coverage logic in the
model-management flow to match each `allow_patterns` entry using glob semantics,
rather than exact membership or suffix-only matching. Build `requested_files`
from the files selected by that pattern matching so wildcard-selected files are
included in the metadata verification.
