Model Coverage Overview

NeMo AutoModel integrates with Hugging Face transformers. Any LLM or VLM that can be instantiated through transformers can also be used via NeMo AutoModel, subject to runtime, third-party software dependencies, and feature compatibility.

Day-0 Support

  • NeMo AutoModel closely tracks the latest transformers version and updates its dependency regularly.
  • New models released on the Hugging Face Hub may require the latest transformers version, necessitating a package upgrade.
  • We are working on a CI pipeline that automatically bumps the supported transformers version when a new release is detected, enabling even faster day-0 support.

Note: To use newly released models, you may need to upgrade your NeMo AutoModel installation — just as you would upgrade transformers to access the latest models. AutoModel mirrors the familiar transformers Auto* APIs while adding optional performance accelerations and distributed training features.

Custom Model Registry

NeMo AutoModel includes a custom model registry that allows teams to:

  • Add custom implementations to extend support to models not yet covered upstream.
  • Provide optimized or faster implementations for specific models while retaining the same AutoModel interface.

Having Issues?

If a model from the Hub doesn’t work as expected, see the Troubleshooting Unsupported Models guide for common issues and solutions.
