Hugging Face Transformers for loading Hub models, running pipeline inference

transformers is an agent skill for Hugging Face Transformers, which gives access to thousands of pretrained models for NLP, computer vision, audio and multimodal tasks. It covers loading Hub models, running pipeline inference, text generation, and fine-tuning with the Trainer on custom data. The skill targets Transformers 5.18.0, verified against its released source on 1 October 2026, with native CPU checks on Python 3.11, Torch 2.14.1, Datasets 5.0.1, Accelerate 1.15.0, PEFT 0.21.2 and Hub 1.33.0. It recommends a dedicated environment and pins these packages together. It notes that Hub 2.1.1 is newer, but Datasets 5.0.1 requires a Hub version below 2, so upgrading each package on its own can make the training stack impossible to resolve. Optional packages are needed only for particular workflows, such as Pillow for images, librosa and soundfile for audio, FFmpeg for encoded audio files, Tesseract for OCR, and bitsandbytes for quantisation. The skill advises choosing precision or quantisation after reading its model-loading notes. The separate esm SDK currently requires Transformers below 5, so it belongs in another environment.
