ThinkingBox-Training released
ThinkingBox-Training is now available to post-train agents using executable database state as a reward. The framework uses offline policy-relative difficulty to select training tasks and improve agent dependability.
Transformers Patch release v5.20.2
Patch release: v5.20.2 This patch notably solves an issue where some inputs could loose their original type inside prepare_inputs_for_generation in generate, leading to problems with multimodal models. It also fixes some other issues listed on the below commits.
Transformers Release v5.20.1
Release v5.20.1 Special surprise including the new model Beam from Reflection AI :partying_face: Beam is a token-efficient, frontier-scale model focused on coding and agentic use cases. It is built for teams that want to run a powerful model on their own hardware, infrastructure, or cloud, and customize it to their specific needs.
Transformers Release v5.20.0
Release v5.20.0 New Model additions Muse Spark Open Muse Spark Open is a multimodal mixture-of-experts model from Meta that takes text, images, audio, and video as input and generates text. It has 816B total parameters (42B active per token) and a context window of up to 1,048,576 tokens shared across modalities.
Transformers Release v5.19.0
Release v5.19.0 New Model additions EmbeddingGemma2 EmbeddingGemma 2 is a multimodal embedding model from Google built on the Gemma 4 architecture. It encodes text, images, audio, and video, individually or combined in one input, into a shared 768-dimensional vector space for cross-modal retrieval, semantic similarity, clustering, and classification.
