TENSOR PARALLELISM LANDS IN CONTINUOUS BATCHING, AUDIO DOCS FOLLOW

Transformers shipped tensor parallelism support for continuous batching, unlocking multi-GPU generation scaling you've been waiting for.

The major merge [1] adds full TP support to continuous batching with the infrastructure to back it: inter-process communication for request states, per-TP group seeding, NCCL graph safeguards, and a reproducible hash function that avoids Python's salted hash. This is production-grade work, not a sketch. Simultaneously, the docs team shipped dedicated guidance on adding audio and video processors [2], closing a gap that's been live in the code for months. On the CI front, transformers-ci completed a shift to OpenSearch for trace storage [3] and overhauled the UI to reduce confusion between traces and run IDs [4]. The hub-docs team automated their inference provider docs generation [5], keeping the JavaScript packages and generated docs in lockstep without manual intervention. Housekeeping landed too: dead environment variables got stripped from CircleCI configs [6], and the DeepSeek V4 MoE converter got a fix for substring-matching FP8 scale companions [7].
