 # Training
+
+
+Training starts with data. We're going to use the huggingface hub and 
+start with the Hello world dataset of machine learning, MNIST.
+
+Let's start with downloading `MNIST` from [huggingface](https://huggingface.co/datasets/mnist).
+
+
+```rust
+use candle_datasets::from_hub;
+
+
+let dataset = from_hub("mnist")?;
+```
+
+This uses the standardized `parquet` files from the `refs/convert/parquet` branch on every dataset.
