About Transformers

Steady cadence of MoE model adds and tokenizer patches — the library is doing its job.

Transformers is in a routine release rhythm: a minor release every two-to-three weeks adding new model families (Cohere2Moe, DeepSeek-V4, Laguna from Poolside, Parakeet, HRM-Text, OpenAI Privacy Filter), interleaved with patch releases that fix tokenizers, attention paths, and vendor-specific integration bugs (Qwen 3.5/3.6 FP8, Kimi-K2.5 tokenizer, Gemma4 device-map). Mixture-of-experts is the dominant architecture in this window — most newly added models are MoE variants.
