Hugging Face Transformers — Machine Learning Model Library

Hugging Face Transformers provides 400,000+ pretrained models for NLP, computer vision, audio, and multimodal tasks with a unified API across PyTorch, TensorFlow, and JAX for training, fine-tuning, and deployment.

Prerequisites

Python 3.9+, pip, PyTorch or TensorFlow

Installation

Use the upstream install or setup path that matches your environment:

• uv venv .my-env
• pip install "transformers[torch]"
• uv pip install "transformers[torch]"
• git clone https://github.com/huggingface/transformers.git

Requirements and caveats from upstream:

• Transformers works with Python 3.10+, and PyTorch 2.4+.
• Create and activate a virtual environment with venv or uv, a fast Rust-based Python package and project manager.
• python -m venv .my-env

Basic usage or getting-started notes:
