Hugging Face shipped transformers v5.14.0 with native support for Inkling, a 975B parameter multimodal model that processes text, image, and audio in a single forward pass.

The Inkling addition [1] [2] lands with fresh processor implementation and tokenizer fixes that address long-standing gaps in model coverage [3]. Parallel work hardened the tokenizer doc build pipeline [4], cutting build time through streamlined dependency management. On the infrastructure side, the hf-mcp-server received critical authentication hardening [5] that removes dangerous fallback token behavior for HTTP transports and enforces Host/Origin allowlisting by default. Sentence-transformers fixed a metric prefixing bug in ReciprocalRankFusionEvaluator [6] that broke trainer evaluation loops, and patched a torch 2.13 crash affecting bf16 computations on Windows [7]. Diffusers aligned snapshot_download behavior [8] to match online validation patterns when working offline, ensuring interrupted downloads don't silently accept corrupted caches.
