We have recently added Torch Stable ABI support to kernels and kernel-builder. This allows kernel developers to target a particular Torch version and the kernel will be supported on that Torch version and later Torch versions (up to ~2 years).

This makes it much easier to write kernels with long-term support and not just the last two Torch releases.

We have also started rolling out Stable ABI support to kernels in kernels-community, starting with Flash Attention 3, supporting Torch 2.9 and later as well as CUDA versions starting at 12.6:

Two large changes in kernel-builder this week:

kernel-builder now links libstdc++ dynamically. To support a wide range of systems, we build against libstdc++ from manylinux_2_28 (EL 8 and later).

Following our Torch support policy that the current and previous Torch versions are supported, Torch 2.10 support was removed. We will soon also support the Torch stable ABI, so that it is possible to write kernels that support a large number of Torch versions.

Latest hf-mem release added a breakdown of Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) memory usage!

TL; DR MoEs can be misleading to reason about from active parameters alone, since each token only activates a subset of experts, while the serving setup still needs to account for the full resident memory footprint.

🧠 hf-mem now splits MoE memory into base model weights, routed experts, and KV cache
🏗️ Dense models usually load and use most weights every forward pass, while MoEs load many experts but only route each token to a few of them
⚡ Active params isn't the same as memory footprint, especially for sparse architectures
📦 Runtime memory is about what is used per request/token, while loading memory also includes the expert weights that need to be resident
📚 KV cache can still dominate depending on context length, batch size, and concurrency
🔀 Expert Parallelism (EP) helps shard experts across accelerators when expert weights dominate
🚀 Data Parallelism (DP) + EP is often a good fit for throughput-oriented MoE serving

💥 hf-mem v0.4.1 now also estimates KV cache memory requirements for any context length and batch size with the --experimental flag!

uvx hf-mem --model-id ... --experimental will automatically pull the required information from the Hugging Face Hub to include the KV cache estimation, when applicable.

💡 Alternatively, you can also set the --max-model-len, --batch-size and --kv-cache-dtype arguments (à la vLLM) manually if preferred.

👉 What happened in AI in 2025? 👈

We prepared the 2025 version of the HF AI Timeline Grid, highlighting open vs API-based model releases, and allowing you to browse and filter by access, modality, and release type!

Play with it here:
2025-ai-timeline/2025-ai-timeline

Here's my personal quarterly TL;DR:

1️⃣ Q1 — Learning to Reason
Deepseek not only releases a top-notch reasoning model, but shows how to train them and compete with closed frontier models. OpenAI debuts Deep Research.

Significant milestones: DeepSeek R1 & R1-Zero, Qwen 2.5 VL, OpenAI Deep Research, Gemini 2.5 Pro (experimental)

2️⃣ Q2 — Multimodality and Coding
More LLMs embrace multimodality by default, and there's a surge in coding agents. Strong vision, audio, and generative models emerge.

Significant milestones: Llama 4, Qwen 3, Imagen 4, OpenAI Codex, Google Jules, Claude 4

3️⃣ Q3 — "Gold" rush, OpenAI opens up, the community goes bananas
Flagship models get gold in Math olympiads and hard benchmarks. OpenAI releases strong open source models and Google releases the much anticipated nano-banana for image generation and editing. Agentic workflows become commonplace.

Significant milestones: Gemini and OpenAI IMO Gold, gpt-oss, Gemini 2.5 Flash Image, Grok 4, Claude Sonnet 4.5

4️⃣ Q4 — Mistral returns, leaderboard hill-climbing
Mistral is back with updated model families. All labs release impressive models to wrap up the year!

Significant milestones: Claude Opus 4.5, DeepSeek Math V2, FLUX 2, GPT 5.1, Kimi K2 Thinking, Nano Banana Pro, GLM 4.7, Gemini 3, Mistral 3, MiniMax M2.1 🤯

🙏 NHLOCAL for the source data https://github.com/NHLOCAL/AiTimeline

🫡 @reach-vb for the original idea, design and recipe

🙌 @ariG23498 and yours truly for compiling and verifying the 2025 edition

🥳 Here's to 2026, wishing it becomes the best year ever for open releases and on-device-first use-cases! 🥂

Okay this is insane... WebGPU-accelerated semantic video tracking, powered by DINOv3 and Transformers.js! 🤯
Demo (+ source code): webml-community/DINOv3-video-tracking

This will revolutionize AI-powered video editors... which can now run 100% locally in your browser, no server inference required (costs $0)! 😍

How does it work? 🤔
1️⃣ Generate and cache image features for each frame
2️⃣ Create a list of embeddings for selected patch(es)
3️⃣ Compute cosine similarity between each patch and the selected patch(es)
4️⃣ Highlight those whose score is above some threshold

... et voilà! 🥳

You can also make selections across frames to improve temporal consistency! This is super useful if the object changes its appearance slightly throughout the video.

Excited to see what the community builds with it!

The next generation of AI-powered websites is going to be WILD! 🤯

In-browser tool calling & MCP is finally here, allowing LLMs to interact with websites programmatically.

To show what's possible, I built a demo using Liquid AI's new LFM2 model, powered by 🤗 Transformers.js: LiquidAI/LFM2-WebGPU

As always, the demo is open source (which you can find under the "Files" tab), so I'm excited to see how the community builds upon this! 🚀

kernels 0.8.0 is out: https://github.com/huggingface/kernels/releases/tag/v0.8.0

This release refines kernel selection in the kernelize function:

• You can now register kernels for certain CUDA capability ranges.
• Rather than doing exact mating of modes, fall back to other compatible modes. If you are kernelizing for inference, but you only registered a training + torch.compile kernel, it will use that kernel since it is compatible with inference as well.

Kernels 0.7.0 is out: https://github.com/huggingface/kernels/releases/tag/v0.7.0 🚀

This release makes it possible to register multiple kernels for a layer. Do you have a super-fast kernel for inference and another kernel for training? Register them both and kernelize will pick the kernel depending on whether you are going to do training or inference.

We have been working on a project called kernels. kernels makes it possible to load compute kernels directly from the Hub! 🚀

We plan to give kernels a more proper introduction soon. But for those who have been following along, we are happy to announce a new release:

- New layer API with torch.compile support.
- Experimental support for loading Apple Silicon Metal 🤘 Kernels.
- Generate wheels from Hub kernels for legacy deployments.

Full release notes here: https://github.com/huggingface/kernels/releases/tag/v0.6.0

Reasoning models like o3 and o4-mini are advancing faster than ever, but imagine what will be possible when they can run locally in your browser! 🤯

Well, with 🤗 Transformers.js, you can do just that! Here's Zyphra's new ZR1 model running at over 100 tokens/second on WebGPU! ⚡️

Giving models access to browser APIs (like File System, Screen Capture, and more) could unlock an entirely new class of web experiences that are personalized, interactive, and run locally in a secure, sandboxed environment.

For now, try out the demo! 👇
