About Transformers
Transformers keeps its model-a-release cadence, adding Kimi K2.5-2.7 and MiniMax/Diffusion variants
Transformers ships on a fast point-release train where nearly every minor version lands one or more new model architectures and the patch releases in between carry fixes — often to keep vLLM in sync. The v5.10-v5.13 window added Kimi K2.5/2.6/2.7, MiniMax-M3-VL, DiffusionGemma, Gemma4 Unified, and Cohere Command A+ (MoE), with several yank-and-republish hiccups along the way.
