Topic pages get the homepage grid, shrink planner learns three new model quirks

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

Papers with Code rebuilt topic pages around persistent, drag-ordered topic follows, while transformers-mic closed three separate build failures in its shrink and planner rules.

Remove and reorder topics from the sidebar and Settings; capitalize names (#914) huggingface/paperswithcode

by NielsRogge

Each account's topic order now lives in research_topic_follows.position and is saved through PUT /me/topics/order; edited topics keep their slot, new ones land last. Reordering works by grip-handle drag or arrow keys, and removal is available from both the sidebar and Settings.

Shrink: refit mrope_section and LongRoPE factors after config_overrides resize a head (GLM-4.1V) huggingface/transformers-mic

by tarekziade

tmic run zai-org/GLM-4.1V-9B-Thinking crashed at build because the shrink rule fitted mrope_section to the shrunk head ([8, 12, 12] became [1, 2, 1]) before config_overrides widened hidden_size and left the split summing wrong. mrope_section and LongRoPE factors are now refit after any override resizes a head.

Planner check: videos need the config's num_frames frames (X-CLIP) huggingface/transformers-mic

by tarekziade

The planner's draft sampled two 8-frame clips for microsoft/xclip-base-patch16-zero-shot while vision_config.num_frames stayed 32, so 16 frames divided to batch 0 and the view failed with shape '[0, 32, 64]'. The check fails on the real checkpoint too, so the planner now requires the config's frame count.

Shrink keeps OneFormer conv_dim and mask_dim equal to hidden_dim huggingface/transformers-mic

by tarekziade

The generic shrink rule cut OneFormer's hidden_dim to 128 while conv_dim and mask_dim stayed at 256, failing the build contract with an invalid gradient at index 1. The OneFormer-specific rule now keeps all three equal, as the shi-labs checkpoints have them.

Topic pages: homepage layout, sort and date filters; drop banner and Duplicate and edit (#908) huggingface/paperswithcode

by NielsRogge

Topic pages now use the homepage's 220px sidebar plus feed, so paper cards match homepage width; creator, followers and Follow/Share/Duplicate actions moved into the sidebar and the thumbnail-collage banner is gone. External papers with no PDF also stopped rendering blank white cards, now falling back to source-page artwork.
