Release: v5.21.0

# Release v5.21.0 ## New Model additions ### MiniCPM-OCR MiniCPM-OCR is a document-understanding model from OpenBMB's MiniCPM-V family. It keeps the MiniCPM-V 4.6 architecture, which pairs a SigLIP vision encoder and a window-attention merger with a Qwen3.5 language model. It is specialized for reading text-dense images such as scanned pages, screenshots, receipts and tables. **Links:** [Documentation](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/main/en/model_doc/minicpm_ocr) | [Paper](https://huggingface.co/papers/2509.18154) * Feat test (#49920) by @guarin in [#49920](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/pull/49920) ### Flint Flint is Recursive's mixture-of-experts language model. Compared to a standard SwiGLU MoE transformer such as Qwen3-MoE, it uses hybrid attention (sliding-windo

common: pin model resolution on real HF repo layouts (#30548) * tests: pin model resolution on real repo listings Extend test-model-resolution with 63 repo listings captured verbatim from the HF API, chosen to cover every file naming pattern found across 1237 GGUF repos of the major publishers and pruned to whole quant groups. Each repo pins its resolved plans and its cache listing. The expectations follow what each file really is per its GGUF header, not what the current resolver picks, so a mismatch is a resolution bug. Mismatches are collected and reported together before the test fails. * tests: leave the listing unchecked on paths the filesystem refuses Some real split names (DevQuasar's Model.Q2_K.gguf-00001-of-00012.gguf under a quant folder) exceed MAX_PATH once materialized in the

tests : refactor test-llama-archs to not link internal libllama symbols (#30880) test-llama-archs included src/llama-arch.h and src/llama-model-saver.h, which prevented building on Windows with shared libraries since the used symbols are not exported from the DLL. - declare llama_arch_* wrappers around the internal llm_ arch query functions in the llama-ext.h staging header, together with llama_arch_kv_name() and llama_arch_supports_save() - slim llama_model_saver down to the private implementation of llama_model_save_to_file(): the fixture-writer half used by the test moves into tests/test-llama-archs.cpp as a local kv_writer - replace the roundtrip saver usage with the public llama_model_save_to_file() writing to a temp path (also removes the tmpfile() fd leak and its Windows workaround)

The rejection now walks the code points with its own stack of levels instead of recursing: there is no limit and no stack risk, whatever the length of a token from the GGUF, and the masks match master. * grammar : track rejected candidates as indices into the in
