TRL v1.0 is out!

Hugging Face's TRL library is downloaded 3 million times a month. Over 130k models trained with it are public on the Hub, and major projects like @unsloth and @axolotl-ai-co build directly on top of it. v1.0 is the moment we acknowledged that responsibility explicitly, with a real stability contract.

The field hasn't settled. Building stable software in a domain that keeps invalidating its own assumptions is the actual problem we're solving. The answer is a design that can absorb the next shift without breaking what people rely on.

What's in v1.0:
Deep Hugging Face integration, low infrastructure burden
What's next: asynchronous GRPO, better scaling support, and making training legible enough that agents can inspect and steer it.

pip install --upgrade trl

@CohereLabs just released ๐ŸŒฟ Tiny Aya: a fully open-source 3B parameter model that speaks 70+ languages ๐ŸŒ! But thereโ€™s a catch:

Tiny Aya is just a language model. It doesnโ€™t support tool calling, the key capability that turns frontier models into powerful *agents*.
So the real question is:

How hard is it to turn Tiny Aya into an agent?

Turns outโ€ฆ itโ€™s simple, thanks to Hugging Face TRL.
Weโ€™re sharing a hands-on example showing how to train Tiny Aya to turn it into a tool-calling agent using TRL, unlocking what could become the first *massively multilingual open agent*.

Small model. Global reach. Agent capabilities.

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!

Say hello to hf: a faster, friendlier Hugging Face CLI โœจ

We are glad to announce a long-awaited quality-of-life improvement: the Hugging Face CLI has been officially renamed from huggingface-cli to hf!

So... why this change?

Typing huggingface-cli constantly gets old fast. More importantly, the CLIโ€™s command structure became messy as new features were added over time (upload, download, cache management, repo management, etc.). Renaming the CLI is a chance to reorganize commands into a clearer, more consistent format.

We decided not to reinvent the wheel and instead follow a well-known CLI pattern: hf <resource> <action>. Isn't hf auth login easier to type and remember?

The full rationale, implementation details, and migration notes are in the blog post: https://huggingface.co/blog/hf-cli

โ€ผ๏ธ huggingface_hub's v0.30.0 is out with our biggest update of the past two years!

Full release notes: https://github.com/huggingface/huggingface_hub/releases/tag/v0.30.0.

๐Ÿš€ Ready. Xet. Go!

Xet is a groundbreaking new protocol for storing large objects in Git repositories, designed to replace Git LFS. Unlike LFS, which deduplicates files, Xet operates at the chunk levelโ€”making it a game-changer for AI builders collaborating on massive models and datasets. Our Python integration is powered by [xet-core](https://github.com/huggingface/xet-core), a Rust-based package that handles all the low-level details.

You can start using Xet today by installing the optional dependency:

pip install -U huggingface_hub[hf_xet]


With that, you can seamlessly download files from Xet-enabled repositories! And donโ€™t worryโ€”everything remains fully backward-compatible if youโ€™re not ready to upgrade yet.

Blog post: https://huggingface.co/blog/xet-on-the-hub
Docs: https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/en/storage-backends#xet


โšก Inference Providers

- Weโ€™re thrilled to introduce Cerebras and Cohere as official inference providers! This expansion strengthens the Hub as the go-to entry point for running inference on open-weight models.

- Novita is now our 3rd provider to support text-to-video task after Fal.ai and Replicate.

- Centralized billing: manage your budget and set team-wide spending limits for Inference Providers! Available to all Enterprise Hub organizations.

from huggingface_hub import InferenceClient
client = InferenceClient(provider="fal-ai", bill_to="my-cool-company")
image = client.text_to_image(
    "A majestic lion in a fantasy forest",
    model="black-forest-labs/FLUX.1-schnell",
)
image.save("lion.png")


- No more timeouts when generating videos, thanks to async calls. Available right now for Fal.ai, expecting more providers to leverage the same structure very soon!

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.

Nice paper comparing the fp8 inference efficiency of Nvidia H100 and Intel Gaudi2: An Investigation of FP8 Across Accelerators for LLM Inference (2502.01070)

The conclusion is interesting: "Our findings highlight that the Gaudi 2, by leveraging FP8, achieves higher throughput-to-power efficiency during LLM inference"

One aspect of AI hardware accelerators that is often overlooked is how they consume less energy than GPUs. It's nice to see researchers starting carrying out experiments to measure this!

Gaudi3 results soon...

Interested in performing inference with an ONNX model?โšก๏ธ

The Optimum docs about model inference with ONNX Runtime is now much clearer and simpler!

You want to deploy your favorite model on the hub but you don't know how to export it to the ONNX format? You can do it in one line of code as follows:
from optimum.onnxruntime import ORTModelForSequenceClassification

# Load the model from the hub and export it to the ONNX format
model_id = "distilbert-base-uncased-finetuned-sst-2-english"
model = ORTModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained(model_id, export=True)

Check out the whole guide ๐Ÿ‘‰ https://huggingface.co/docs/optimum/onnxruntime/usage_guides/models

What a great milestone to celebrate! The huggingface_hub library is slowly becoming a cornerstone of the Python ML ecosystem when it comes to interacting with the @huggingface Hub. It wouldn't be there without the hundreds of community contributions and feedback! No matter if you are loading a model, sharing a dataset, running remote inference or starting jobs on our infra, you are for sure using it! And this is only the beginning so give a star if you wanna follow the project ๐Ÿ‘‰ https://github.com/huggingface/huggingface_hub
