TRL v1.3 ships day-one training support for Qwen 3.6 🚀
The new Qwen 3.6 family (
Qwen/Qwen3.6-27B, Qwen/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B) reuses the Qwen3.5-MoE architecture but ships a slightly different chat template, so we updated the stack end-to-end: new training template with {% generation %} markers, tool-call response schema routing, tiny test models for the VLM matrix.SFT with assistant-only loss works out of the box:
from trl import SFTConfig, SFTTrainer
trainer = SFTTrainer(
model="Qwen/Qwen3.6-27B",
args=SFTConfig(assistant_only_loss=True),
train_dataset=dataset,
)
trainer.train()So does GRPO tool-calling — just hand
tools=[...] to GRPOTrainer.v1.3 also brings a new experimental TPO trainer (Triple Preference Optimization), speculative decoding in
trl vllm-serve (Qwen3 MTP / Eagle3 drafts), 12 more KTO ↔ DPO alignment PRs (KTO promotion to stable is now in reach), three more {% generation %} chat templates (Gemma/Gemma 2, Phi-3, GLM-4-MoE), and a chunky SFT entropy bug fix.Full release notes: https://github.com/huggingface/trl/releases/tag/v1.3.0

TRL v1.2 introduces the SSDTrainer 🚀
Simple Self-Distillation (SSD) from Apple's paper "Embarrassingly Simple Self-Distillation Improves Code Generation" is now available as an experimental trainer in TRL.
The recipe is as minimal as the name suggests: sample completions from the model itself at a training-time temperature, then fine-tune on those raw, unverified samples with plain cross-entropy. No reward model. No verifier. No teacher model. No reinforcement learning. Just prompts and the model.
v1.2 also ships expanded tool-calling support (LLaMA 3.1 / 3.2, DeepSeek-V3), another round of KTO ↔ DPO alignment getting us closer to promoting KTO to stable, a big GRPO simplification for overlong tool results, deprecation of

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.

@CohereLabs just released 🌿 Tiny Aya: a fully open-source 3B parameter model that speaks 70+ languages 🌍! But there’s a catch:
Tiny Aya is just a language model. It doesn’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 out… it’s simple, thanks to Hugging Face TRL.
We’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
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 CLI’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

It will be very interesting to benchmark how energy-efficient the new Falcon-Edge is: https://huggingface.co/blog/tiiuae/falcon-edge
Should be super efficient on CPU according to the numbers published for BitNet: https://github.com/microsoft/BitNet/blob/main/assets/intel_performance.jpg

‼️ 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.
🚀 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 level—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:
With that, you can seamlessly download files from Xet-enabled repositories! And don’t worry—everything remains fully backward-compatible if you’re not ready to upgrade yet.

Docs: https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/en/storage-backends#xet
⚡ Inference Providers
- We’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.
- 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
They're added on top of the v4.49.0 release, and can be installed from the following tags:
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.
