Building high-performance, reproducible kernels for AMD ROCm just got a lot easier.
I've put together a guide on building, testing, and sharing ROCm-compatible kernels using the Hugging Face
Learn how to:
- Use Nix for reproducible builds
- Integrate kernels as native PyTorch operators
- Share your kernels on the Hub for anyone to use with
We use the 🏆 award-winning RadeonFlow GEMM kernel as a practical example.

🚀 Optimum libraries keep growing, and Optimum v2 is just around the corner!
I recently added ONNX export support for a bunch of new models in the optimum-onnx library, including: DeepSeek-V3, Cohere, Nemotron, Arcee, StableLM … and more!
⚡ With ONNX export, you can run your favorite models faster and more efficiently across different hardware backends, making deployment and experimentation much smoother.
💡 Have a model you’d love to see supported? Contributions are super welcome — let’s make Optimum even better together!

We've improved the Deploy button on Hugging Face model pages for Microsoft Azure
1/ no more long waits before seeing model support status
2/ ready-to-use CLI and Python snippets
3/ redirection to Azure AI Foundry rather than Azure ML

Is there a "one-size-fits-all" recipe for quantizing Large Language Models? 🤔
As part of my ongoing work in mixed-precision quantization, I've been exploring this question by measuring layer-by-layer sensitivity. The goal is to see if we can find universal rules for which layers can be quantized aggressively without impacting performance.The results are fascinating and reveal two key insights:
1️⃣ Sensitivity profiles are like architectural "fingerprints." Models from the same family share strikingly similar sensitivity patterns. As you can see in the charts below for the Gemma and SmolLM families, the ranking and relative sensitivity of the layers remain remarkably consistent. This suggests that the underlying architecture is a primary driver of a model's quantization behavior.
2️⃣ A "universal" mixed-precision quantization strategy is challenging. While models within a family are similar, these "fingerprints" change dramatically when comparing different architectures like LLaMA, Qwen, and StableLM. This highlights the difficulty in creating a generalized mixed-precision configuration that works optimally across all model families.
However, there is one near-universal truth we uncovered: the mlp.down_proj layer consistently emerges as one of the most sensitive components across all models studied.
This finding strongly resonates with the work in "The Super Weight in Large Language Models" (by Mengxia Yu et al.). The paper identifies that functionally critical parameters, or "super weights," are concentrated in these down_proj layers. Our empirical results provide clear validation for this theory, showing these layers are highly intolerant to precision loss.
In short, while every architecture has a unique sensitivity profile, a fingerprint shaped not only by its core design but also by its specific training dataset and optimization approach, some components remain universally critical!

In case you missed it, Hugging Face expanded its collaboration with Azure a few weeks ago with a curated catalog of 10,000 models, accessible from Azure AI Foundry and Azure ML!
@alvarobartt cooked during these last days to prepare the one and only documentation you need, if you wanted to deploy Hugging Face models on Azure. It comes with an FAQ, great guides and examples on how to deploy VLMs, LLMs, smolagents and more to come very soon.
We need your feedback: come help us and let us know what else you want to see, which model we should add to the collection, which model task we should prioritize adding, what else we should build a tutorial for. You’re just an issue away on our GitHub repo!
