Train or fine-tune sentence-transformers models across `SentenceTransformer` (bi-encoder; dense or static embedding model; for retrieval, similarity, clustering, classification, paraphrase mining, dedup, multimodal), `CrossEncoder` (reranker; pair scoring for two-stage retrieval / pair classification), and `SparseEncoder` (SPLADE, sparse embedding model; for learned-sparse retrieval). Covers loss selection, hard-negative mining, evaluators, distillation, LoRA, Matryoshka, and Hugging Face Hub pu

Self ReviewUse before opening a PR, or whenever asked to self-review a diffusers contribution. Applies the same rubric as the `@claude` CI (checks the diff against .ai/review-rules.md, traces call paths for dead code). Reports findings grouped by severity, flagging what to fix before submitting (blocking issues + dead code) vs what to leave for the actual review. Report-only — does not edit files.Trl TrainingTrain and fine-tune transformer language models using TRL (Transformers Reinforcement Learning). Supports SFT, DPO, GRPO, KTO, RLOO and Reward Model training via CLI commands.Sync ModelsSync chat-ui's model config with the HuggingFace router — add descriptions for new models, flag reasoning-capable ones, enable artifacts for models with 32B+ parameters, and prune deprecated models the router no longer serves. Use when models are released or removed on the router and prod.yaml/dev.yaml need syncing. Triggers on requests like "add new model descriptions", "update models from router", "sync models", "remove deprecated models", "prune models no longer on the router", or when explicHf McpUse Hugging Face Hub via MCP server tools. Search models, datasets, Spaces, papers. Get repo details, fetch documentation, run compute jobs, and use Gradio Spaces as AI tools. Available when connected to the HF MCP server.Hf MemHugging Face CLI to estimate the required memory to load Safetensors or GGUF model weights for inference from the Hugging Face HubHuggingface BestUse when the user asks about finding the best, top, or recommended model for a task, wants to know what AI model to use, or wants to compare models by benchmark scores. Triggers on: "best model for X", "what model should I use for", "top models for [task]", "which model runs on my laptop/machine/device", "recommend a model for", "what LLM should I use for", "compare models for", "what's state of the art for", or any question about choosing an AI model for a specific use case.
