Tau fixes resume loading and Herdr mouse input in 0.4.4

By RepoJournal · Filed · About Hugging Face · Composed from the cited sources · methodology

Tau's picker no longer blocks the event loop, optimum-intel restores offline loading under huggingface_hub 1.22, and transformers catches two silent-load bugs that were quietly handing back random weights.

Fix silently random-initializing `RTDetrModel`/`SEWDForCTC` loads (wrong `base_model_prefix`) huggingface/transformers

by abhinav-phi

RTDetrModel.from_pretrained("PekingU/rtdetr_r18vd") and SEWDForCTC.from_pretrained("asapp/sew-d-tiny-100k") used to return fully randomly-initialized models (502/502 and 222/222 missing keys) because the weight loader adds and strips base_model_prefix when crossing the base-model/head boundary; the prefix is now correct, so loads actually populate the weights. If you benchmarked or fine-tuned e...

Fix offline loading for huggingface_hub >= 1.22 (#1905) huggingface/optimum-intel

by Ella Charlaix

huggingface_hub 1.22 caches the repo tree listing and runs a completeness check when the hub is unreachable, so loading a cached OpenVINO model with HF_HUB_OFFLINE=1 or local_files_only=True failed with OfflineModeIsEnabled / IncompleteSnapshotError. The fix resolves the cached snapshot directory directly in offline mode and passes that local path into the rest of the loading logic, unpinning h...

TUI: load resume projects in background huggingface/tau

by alejandro-ao

The /resume modal now mounts an empty shell before reading session indexes, loads current-project sessions first and other projects off the Textual event loop, and replaces eager ListView rows with virtualized OptionList columns. Grouping records once by project also drops the repeated path resolution and quadratic project counting, and typing a plain / no longer rescans every session index.

fix: restore mouse input inside herdr huggingface/tau

by alejandro-ao

Herdr 0.9.0 can advertise SGR pixel mouse support while forwarding cell coordinates when no Pane Graphics layer is active (tracked upstream in herdrdev/herdr#3295), which made a click near the bottom-right of a 161×53 pane land in the wrong cell. Tau now defaults Textual to cell-coordinate mouse input inside Herdr, while preserving an explicit TEXTUAL_SMOOTH_SCROLL setting.

Strip invisible and control bytes before matching, in scrub and in redact huggingface/ghlore

by beardthelion

scrub_counted matched sentinels and chat tokens before stripping invisible and control bytes, so an invisibly-split <<<GHLORE-UNTRUSTED-END>>> came back as the exact END delimiter and retrieved content could close its own envelope. The same ordering let redact() miss secrets split by those bytes, which normalize() and the serve-time scrub then reassembled into body_text and the response; stripp...

Fixed Six issues from the v5 field report huggingface/ghlore

by tarekziade

The showcase example returned 186 definitions in 172 shapes, grouped almost entirely by one token, config: LlamaConfig against config: GPTNeoXConfig, so the single model that had actually diverged was invisible among 171 that had not. Bodies are now normalized through ast before comparison.
