🐦‍🔥 I've just published Sentence Transformers v5.2.0! It introduces multi-processing for CrossEncoder (rerankers), multilingual NanoBEIR evaluators, similarity score outputs in mine_hard_negatives, Transformers v5 support and more. Details:

- CrossEncoder multi-processing: Similar to SentenceTransformer and SparseEncoder, you can now use multi-processing with CrossEncoder rerankers. Useful for multi-GPU and CPU settings, and simple to configure: just device=["cuda:0", "cuda:1"] or device=["cpu"]*4 on the model.predict or model.rank calls.

- Multilingual NanoBEIR Support: You can now use community translations of the tiny NanoBEIR retrieval benchmark instead of only the English one, by passing dataset_id, e.g. dataset_id="lightonai/NanoBEIR-de" for the German benchmark.

- Similarity scores in Hard Negatives Mining: When mining for hard negatives to create a strong training dataset, you can now pass output_scores=True to get similarity scores returned. This can be useful for some distillation losses!

- Transformers v5: This release works with both Transformers v4 and the upcoming v5. In the future, Sentence Transformers will only work with Transformers v5, but not yet!

- Python 3.9 deprecation: Now that Python 3.9 has lost security support, Sentence Transformers no longer supports it.

Check out the full changelog for more details: https://github.com/huggingface/sentence-transformers/releases/tag/v5.2.0

I'm quite excited about what's coming. There's a huge draft PR with a notable refactor in the works that should bring some exciting support. Specifically, better multimodality, rerankers, and perhaps some late interaction in the future!

🤗 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!

LiquidAI/LFM2-8B-A1B just dropped!

8.3B params with only 1.5B active/token 🚀

> Quality ≈ 3–4B dense, yet faster than Qwen3-1.7B
> MoE designed to run on phones/laptops (llama.cpp / vLLM)
> Pre-trained on 12T tokens → strong math/code/IF

🚀 New blog: Maintain the unmaintainable – 1M+ Python LOC, 400+ models

How do you stop a million-line library built by thousands of contributors from collapsing under its own weight?
At 🤗 Transformers, we do it with explicit software-engineering tenets, principles that make the codebase hackable at scale.

🔍 Inside the post:
– One Model, One File: readability first — you can still open a modeling file and see the full logic, top to bottom.
– Modular Transformers: visible inheritance that cuts maintenance cost by ~15× while keeping models readable.
– Config-Driven Performance: FlashAttention, tensor parallelism, and attention scheduling are config-level features, not rewrites.

Written with @lysandre ,@pcuenq and @yonigozlan , this is a deep dive into how Transformers stays fast, open, and maintainable.

⚛️ New drop of tiny task-specific models!

Want to do data extraction, translation, RAG, tool use, or math on a Raspberry Pi? We got you covered! ✅

These tiny models were fine-tuned to perform narrow tasks extremely well, making them competitive with much larger models.

You can deploy them today on-device or even on GPUs for big data operations!
