tokenizers v1: encode, decode and scaling, measured
The tokenizer has not historically been the bottleneck within ML workflows. Compute-wise, tokenization is light compared to the heavy modeling happening in the rest of the pipeline. Yet, in some cases, it has rapidly become key to accelerating (or slowing down) your machine learning work. As models become faster and workloads scale, that balance begins to shift.
Safetensors is Joining the PyTorch Foundation
Today, we're announcing that Safetensors has joined the PyTorch Foundation as a foundation-hosted project under the Linux Foundation, alongside DeepSpeed, Helion, Ray, vLLM, and PyTorch itself. How we got here Safetensors started as a Hugging Face project born out of a concrete need: a way to store and share model weights that couldn't execute arbitrary code. The pickle-based formats that dominated the ecosystem at the time meant that there was a very real risk you’d be running malicious code.
