HuggingFace Transformers: The Model-Definition Framework Reaches 158.9K Stars

GitHub·low signal

HuggingFace Transformers (158,878 stars) remains the dominant model-definition framework for state-of-the-art machine learning across text, vision, audio, and multimodal modalities, supporting both inference and training. The library continues to be the default integration point for new model releases — Gemma 4, Qwen 3.6, and virtually every open model ships with Transformers support. Its sustained growth reflects the expanding open-weight model ecosystem rather than any single new feature.
