Provides shared model definitions and loading interfaces used throughout the training and serving ecosystem.

166,899 stars

Overview

Research summary

Transformers supplies reusable model implementations, preprocessing components and high-level inference pipelines for a broad range of machine-learning tasks. Its model definitions act as a common integration point for training tools, inference engines and the Hugging Face Hub. Developers can load pretrained checkpoints, perform inference and adapt models through the surrounding training ecosystem. The repository also documents command-line serving workflows. The Apache-licensed library is distinct from the model weights it loads, which may impose separate license and access requirements.
