We're kick-starting the process of Transformers v5, with @ArthurZ and @cyrilvallez !

v5 should be significant: we're using it as a milestone for performance optimizations, saner defaults, and a much cleaner code base worthy of 2025.

Fun fact: v4.0.0-rc-1 came out on Nov 19, 2020, nearly five years ago!

Okay this is insane... WebGPU-accelerated semantic video tracking, powered by DINOv3 and Transformers.js! 🤯
Demo (+ source code): webml-community/DINOv3-video-tracking

This will revolutionize AI-powered video editors... which can now run 100% locally in your browser, no server inference required (costs $0)! 😍

How does it work? 🤔
1️⃣ Generate and cache image features for each frame
2️⃣ Create a list of embeddings for selected patch(es)
3️⃣ Compute cosine similarity between each patch and the selected patch(es)
4️⃣ Highlight those whose score is above some threshold

... et voilà! 🥳

You can also make selections across frames to improve temporal consistency! This is super useful if the object changes its appearance slightly throughout the video.

Excited to see what the community builds with it!

The next generation of AI-powered websites is going to be WILD! 🤯

In-browser tool calling & MCP is finally here, allowing LLMs to interact with websites programmatically.

To show what's possible, I built a demo using Liquid AI's new LFM2 model, powered by 🤗 Transformers.js: LiquidAI/LFM2-WebGPU

As always, the demo is open source (which you can find under the "Files" tab), so I'm excited to see how the community builds upon this! 🚀

Always surprised that so few people actually read the FineTasks blog, on
✨how to select training evals with the highest signal✨

If you're serious about training models without wasting compute on shitty runs, you absolutely should read it!!

An high signal eval actually tells you precisely, during training, how wel & what your model is learning, allowing you to discard the bad runs/bad samplings/...!

The blog covers in depth prompt choice, metrics, dataset, across languages/capabilities, and my fave section is "which properties should evals have"👌
(to know on your use case how to select the best evals for you)

Reasoning models like o3 and o4-mini are advancing faster than ever, but imagine what will be possible when they can run locally in your browser! 🤯

Well, with 🤗 Transformers.js, you can do just that! Here's Zyphra's new ZR1 model running at over 100 tokens/second on WebGPU! ⚡️

Giving models access to browser APIs (like File System, Screen Capture, and more) could unlock an entirely new class of web experiences that are personalized, interactive, and run locally in a secure, sandboxed environment.

For now, try out the demo! 👇

Gemma3 family is out! Reading the tech report, and this section was really interesting to me from a methods/scientific fairness pov.

Instead of doing over-hyped comparisons, they clearly state that **results are reported in a setup which is advantageous to their models**.
(Which everybody does, but people usually don't say)

For a tech report, it makes a lot of sense to report model performance when used optimally!
On leaderboards on the other hand, comparison will be apples to apples, but in a potentially unoptimal way for a given model family (like some user interact sub-optimally with models)

Also contains a cool section (6) on training data memorization rate too! Important to see if your model will output the training data it has seen as such: always an issue for privacy/copyright/... but also very much for evaluation!

Because if your model knows its evals by heart, you're not testing for generalization.

SmolVLM-2 and SigLIP-2 are now part of transformers in dedicated releases!

They're added on top of the v4.49.0 release, and can be installed from the following tags: v4.49.0-SmolVLM-2 and v4.49.0-SigLIP-2.

This marks a new beginning for the release process of transformers. For the past five years, we've been doing monthly releases featuring many models (v4.49.0, the latest release, features 9 new architectures).

Starting with SmolVLM-2 & SigLIP2, we'll now additionally release tags supporting new models on a stable branch. These models are therefore directly available for use by installing from the tag itself. These tags will continue to be updated with fixes applied to these models.

Going forward, continue expecting software releases following semantic versioning: v4.50.0 will have ~10 new architectures compared to v4.49.0, as well as a myriad of new features, improvements and bug fixes. Accompanying these software releases, we'll release tags offering brand new models as fast as possible, to make them accessible to all immediately.
