Harbor-HF migrated from distributed Python services to a single hosted TypeScript control plane, while Transformers fixed critical device placement bugs and unlocked tokenizers 0.23.1 compatibility.

The Harbor-HF control service shipped as planned [1], consolidating the old Python presentation layer and separate results frontend into one TypeScript API that reconciles immutable records and serves a React operations console. Campaign launches now work as profile-based API requests instead of mutable repository workflows. This follows hardened docs that simplified the architecture to one private control Space, one artifact Bucket, and one service token [3][4], with privacy rules added to protect sensitive data from public commits [2]. On the Transformers side, a critical fix landed for DFlash candidate token device mismatches when models split across GPUs with device_map="auto" [5], ensuring logits land on the right device. Tokenizers 0.23.1 compatibility shipped after five call sites were converted to positional-only arguments for RobertaProcessing [6], unblocking the newer tokenizer release. Whisper integration tests on A10G are now stable after dtype and stale value fixes [8]. The Step-3.7-Flash model was added with conversion tooling [7].
