What problem does it solve?
Transformers helps you turn raw text, images, audio, or multimodal inputs into useful predictions by providing standardized tooling to run pre-trained transformer models and adapt them to your specific tasks.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Unified inference with Pipelines: Quickly run common tasks like text generation, classification, QA, summarization, translation, image classification, object detection, speech recognition, and multimodal question answering without manual preprocessing.
- Flexible model loading & hardware control: Load models with device placement, precision settings, and attention implementations to balance quality and performance.
- Fine-tuning for domain adaptation: Train or fine-tune models on custom datasets using the Trainer workflow, including batching, mixed precision, and checkpointing.
- Tokenization & input preparation: Convert inputs into model-ready token IDs with padding, truncation, attention masks, and chat-template support.
Quick Start
Use the Hugging Face Transformers pipeline to run text generation on a model like gpt2 for an immediate completion.
