TRANSFORMERS FIXES CACHE ISOLATION FOR PR CI, TEST SUITE GETS TENSOR PARALLEL BOOST
By RepoJournal · Filed · About Hugging Face
The transformers test pipeline just got fixed for read-only cache environments, and the CI suite finally plugged a missing tensor parallel job that's been running blind since March.
Transformers shipped a fix [1] that makes more tests work with read-only cache, which matters because PR CI runs against a locked-down cache for security. The test failures were real before this patch [2] landed, and now those same tests pass. On the CI infrastructure side, transformers-test-ci fixed a missing tensor parallel job [3] that should have been there since March but got left behind during a recent workflow migration. The same team also patched a pytest marker issue [4] where the torch_job was running tests it shouldn't have been, creating redundant test coverage. Hub docs added a new Agent Traces guide [5] that walks users through uploading and browsing Claude Code, Codex, and Pi JSONL sessions on datasets and storage buckets. Inference provider documentation got a routine automated update [6] to sync the latest task and inference packages.
