🤝 Collaborating with AMD to ensure Hugging Face Transformers runs smoothly on AMD GPUs!
We run daily CI on AMD MI325 to track the health of the most important model architectures and we’ve just made our internal dashboard public.
By making this easily accessible, we hope to spark community contributions and improve support for everyone!

🚀 Optimum libraries keep growing, and Optimum v2 is just around the corner!
I recently added ONNX export support for a bunch of new models in the optimum-onnx library, including: DeepSeek-V3, Cohere, Nemotron, Arcee, StableLM … and more!
⚡ With ONNX export, you can run your favorite models faster and more efficiently across different hardware backends, making deployment and experimentation much smoother.
💡 Have a model you’d love to see supported? Contributions are super welcome — let’s make Optimum even better together!

We've improved the Deploy button on Hugging Face model pages for Microsoft Azure
1/ no more long waits before seeing model support status
2/ ready-to-use CLI and Python snippets
3/ redirection to Azure AI Foundry rather than Azure ML
✋ if you see any bugs or have feedback, open an issue on our repo:

Is there a "one-size-fits-all" recipe for quantizing Large Language Models? 🤔
As part of my ongoing work in mixed-precision quantization, I've been exploring this question by measuring layer-by-layer sensitivity. The goal is to see if we can find universal rules for which layers can be quantized aggressively without impacting performance.The results are fascinating and reveal two key insights:
1️⃣ Sensitivity profiles are like architectural "fingerprints." Models from the same family share strikingly similar sensitivity patterns. As you can see in the charts below for the Gemma and SmolLM families, the ranking and relative sensitivity of the layers remain remarkably consistent. This suggests that the underlying architecture is a primary driver of a model's quantization behavior.
2️⃣ A "universal" mixed-precision quantization strategy is challenging. While models within a family are similar, these "fingerprints" change dramatically when comparing different architectures like LLaMA, Qwen, and StableLM. This highlights the difficulty in creating a generalized mixed-precision configuration that works optimally across all model families.
However, there is one near-universal truth we uncovered: the mlp.down_proj layer consistently emerges as one of the most sensitive components across all models studied.
This finding strongly resonates with the work in "The Super Weight in Large Language Models" (by Mengxia Yu et al.). The paper identifies that functionally critical parameters, or "super weights," are concentrated in these down_proj layers. Our empirical results provide clear validation for this theory, showing these layers are highly intolerant to precision loss.
In short, while every architecture has a unique sensitivity profile, a fingerprint shaped not only by its core design but also by its specific training dataset and optimization approach, some components remain universally critical!

🎉 New in Azure Model Catalog: NVIDIA Parakeet TDT 0.6B V2
We're excited to welcome Parakeet TDT 0.6B V2—a state-of-the-art English speech-to-text model—to the Azure Foundry Model Catalog.
What is it?
A powerful ASR model built on the FastConformer-TDT architecture, offering:
🕒 Word-level timestamps
✍️ Automatic punctuation & capitalization
🔊 Strong performance across noisy and real-world audio
It runs with NeMo, NVIDIA’s optimized inference engine.
Want to give it a try? 🎧 You can test it with your own audio (up to 3 hours) on Hugging Face Spaces before deploying.If it fits your need, deploy easily from the Hugging Face Hub or Azure ML Studio with secure, scalable infrastructure!

In case you missed it, Hugging Face expanded its collaboration with Azure a few weeks ago with a curated catalog of 10,000 models, accessible from Azure AI Foundry and Azure ML!
@alvarobartt cooked during these last days to prepare the one and only documentation you need, if you wanted to deploy Hugging Face models on Azure. It comes with an FAQ, great guides and examples on how to deploy VLMs, LLMs, smolagents and more to come very soon.
We need your feedback: come help us and let us know what else you want to see, which model we should add to the collection, which model task we should prioritize adding, what else we should build a tutorial for. You’re just an issue away on our GitHub repo!
