Transformers v5

The backbone of modern AI, re-engineered

Transformers v5 launched on December 3, 2025 with 155 votes, #180 of 11,628 launches that month and more than 95% of that year's launches.

What it does

The biggest update in 5 years. v5 brings a modular design, first-class quantization, and a new OpenAI-compatible serving API. Optimized for PyTorch and fully interoperable with the modern AI stack (vLLM, llama.cpp, GGUF).

We’re on a journey to advance and democratize artificial intelligence through open source and open science.

Transformers' version v4.0.0rc-1, the initial release candidate for version 4, was released on November 19th, 2020. Five years later, we now release v5.0.0rc-0. Today, as we launch v5, Transformers is installed more than 3 million times each day via pip - up from 20,000/day in v4 🤯. Altogether, it has now surpassed 1.2 billion installs ! The ecosystem has expanded from 40 model architectures in v4 to over 400 today , and the community has contributed more than 750,000 model checkpoints on the Hub compatible with Transformers, up from roughly 1,000 at the time of v4. This growth is powered by the evolution of the field and the now mainstream access to AI. As a leading model-definition…from huggingface.co

  • Community, All the HN belong to you. This is an archive of hacker news that fits in your browser. When I made HN Made of Primes I realized I could probably do this offline sqlite/wasm thing with the whole GBs of archive. The whole dataset. So I tried it, and this is it. Have Hacker News on your device. Go to this repo (https://github.com/DOSAYGO-STUDIO/HackerBook): you can download it. Big Query -> ETL -> npx serve docs - that's it. 20 years of HN arguments and beauty, can be yours forever. So they'll never die. Ever. It's the unkillable static archive of HN and it's…
