 "title": "Transformers release history: the weekly-minor promise of v5",
 "description": "Every Transformers release since 2024 from GitHub, each v5 minor with the days since the one before and the model architectures it added, and what 5.20 broke.",

  "date": "2026-10-24",
  "paragraphs": [
   "Transformers v5.0.0 came out on 26 January 2026, the first major release in five years, with a promise to ship a minor release every week instead of every five weeks so that new models land sooner. Since then 20 minors have shipped in 37 weeks, up to 5.20.0 on 15 October, and their release notes list 97 new model entries between them, from DeepSeek-V4 and Gemma 4 to OCR, speech and diarization models.",
   "Only six of those 20 arrived within seven days of the one before. The longest gap was 26 days between 5.14 and 5.15 over July and August, then 23 days before 5.4 in March and 21 days before both 5.13 and 5.18. 5.20.0 opens its breaking changes with a warning that inference with expert parallelism has speed regressions, removes deprecated cache methods and raises the minimum kernels version to 0.17.2. Two patch releases followed within four days."
