🚀 Big news for AI builders!

We’re thrilled to announce that the Qwen3-VL family of vision-language models is now available on Azure AI Foundry, thanks to our collaboration with Microsoft.

We bring open-source innovation to enterprise-grade AI infrastructure, making it easier than ever for enterprise to deploy and scale the latest and greatest from models from hugging Face securely within Azure.

🔍 Highlights:

- Deploy Qwen3-VL instantly via managed endpoints
- Built-in governance, telemetry, and lifecycle management
- True multimodal reasoning — vision, language, and code understanding
- State-of-the-art performance, outperforming closed-source models like Gemini 2.5 Pro and GPT-5
- Available in both *Instruct* and *Thinking* modes, across 24 model sizes

👉 Get started today: search for Qwen3-VL in the Hugging Face Collection on Azure AI Foundry.

🤗 Sentence Transformers is joining Hugging Face! 🤗 This formalizes the existing maintenance structure, as I've personally led the project for the past two years on behalf of Hugging Face! Details:

Today, the Ubiquitous Knowledge Processing (UKP) Lab is transferring the project to Hugging Face. Sentence Transformers will remain a community-driven, open-source project, with the same open-source license (Apache 2.0) as before. Contributions from researchers, developers, and enthusiasts are welcome and encouraged. The project will continue to prioritize transparency, collaboration, and broad accessibility.

Read our full announcement for more details and quotes from UKP and Hugging Face leadership: https://huggingface.co/blog/sentence-transformers-joins-hf

We see an increasing wish from companies to move from large LLM APIs to local models for better control and privacy, reflected in the library's growth: in just the last 30 days, Sentence Transformer models have been downloaded >270 million times, second only to transformers.

I would like to thank the UKP Lab, and especially Nils Reimers and Iryna Gurevych, both for their dedication to the project and for their trust in myself, both now and two years ago. Back then, neither of you knew me well, yet you trusted me to take the project to new heights. That choice ended up being very valuable for the embedding & Information Retrieval community, and I think this choice of granting Hugging Face stewardship will be similarly successful.

I'm very excited about the future of the project, and for the world of embeddings and retrieval at large!

Finally, our new paper is out! "𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗩𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻: 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗜𝘀 𝗔𝗹𝗹 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗡𝗲𝗲𝗱"! 🥳
FineVision: Open Data Is All You Need (2510.17269)

If you've ever trained a VLM, you know this problem: nobody shares their data mixtures. It's a black box, making replicating SOTA work impossible.
We wanted to change that.

FineVision unifies 200 sources into 24 million samples. With 17.3 million images and 9.5 billion answer tokens, it's the largest open resource of its kind.

In the paper, we share how we built it:
🔍 finding and cleaning data at scale
🧹 removing excessive duplicates across sources
🤗 decontaminating against 66 public benchmarks

My favorite part is Figure 6 (in the video!). It's our visual diversity analysis. It shows that FineVision isn't just bigger; it's more balanced and conceptually richer than other open datasets.
NVIDIA's Eagle 2 paper highlighted just how critical this visual diversity is, and our results confirm it: models trained on FineVision consistently outperform those trained on any other open dataset on 11 benchmarks!

🎉 To celebrate the paper, I’m also releasing a concatenated and shuffled version of the full dataset! 👉HuggingFaceM4/FineVision_full_shuffled

It’s ready to stream, so you can start training your own models right away:

from datasets import load_dataset
d = load_dataset("HuggingFaceM4/FineVision_full_shuffled", split="train", streaming=True)
print(next(iter(d)))

A big shoutout to the first authors: Luis Wiedmann and Orr Zohar. They are rockstars!

Want to iterate on a Hugging Face Space with an LLM?

Now you can easily convert any HF entire repo (Model, Dataset or Space) to a text file and feed it to a language model!

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!

🤝 Collaborating with AMD to ensure Hugging Face Transformers runs smoothly on AMD GPUs!

We run daily CI on AMD MI325 to track the health of the most important model architectures and we’ve just made our internal dashboard public.

By making this easily accessible, we hope to spark community contributions and improve support for everyone!

Tremendous quality of life upgrade on the Hugging Face Hub - we now have auto-complete emojis 🤗 🥳 👏 🙌 🎉

Get ready for lots more very serious analysis on a whole range of topics from yours truly now that we have unlocked this full range of expression 😄 🤔 🗣 🙊
