Get started
Install
pip install transformersWhat it is
Transformers is the reference implementation for a large share of today’s open models. Load a model from the Hugging Face Hub by name and run it for inference or fine-tune it on your own data.
Why it stands out
Model architectures share one interface, so code written for one model usually works for the next. The pipeline helper turns tasks such as summarisation or speech recognition into a single call.
Who it is for
Researchers and engineers who work directly with model weights rather than through a hosted API.
