TRANSFORMERS FIXES GPU IMAGE MELTDOWN, TRL GRADUATES KTO TO STABLE

By RepoJournal · Filed · About Hugging Face

The nightly all-latest-gpu image was broken by a dependency conflict. It's fixed. And KTO just left experimental.

The executorch dependency was uninstalling the pinned cu126 torch in the GPU image, pulling a mismatched CUDA/NCCL stack that crashed at import [1]. That's now removed from the GPU build, and executorch export tests have been reclassified as CPU-only to prevent future cross-stack breakage [2]. In parallel, transformers cleaned up pipeline generators to stop materializing them entirely, which was causing OOMs on complex inputs [3]. Over in TRL, version 1.8.0 promotes KTOTrainer from experimental to stable [4], and trainers now accept DatasetDict and IterableDatasetDict directly as eval_dataset, which means you can pass load_dataset output without reshaping [5]. On the diffusers side, Cosmos3 now has full modular pipeline support with dedicated encoding, denoising, and decoding blocks [6]. In smolagents, transformers 5.13.0 is now pinned out due to a compatibility issue that was breaking CI [7].
