TRL v1.2 introduces the SSDTrainer ๐
Simple Self-Distillation (SSD) from Apple's paper "Embarrassingly Simple Self-Distillation Improves Code Generation" is now available as an experimental trainer in TRL.
The recipe is as minimal as the name suggests: sample completions from the model itself at a training-time temperature, then fine-tune on those raw, unverified samples with plain cross-entropy. No reward model. No verifier. No teacher model. No reinforcement learning. Just prompts and the model.
v1.2 also ships expanded tool-calling support (LLaMA 3.1 / 3.2, DeepSeek-V3), another round of KTO โ DPO alignment getting us closer to promoting KTO to stable, a big GRPO simplification for overlong tool results, deprecation of

TRL v1.0 is out!
Hugging Face's TRL library is downloaded 3 million times a month. Over 130k models trained with it are public on the Hub, and major projects like @unsloth and @axolotl-ai-co build directly on top of it. v1.0 is the moment we acknowledged that responsibility explicitly, with a real stability contract.
The field hasn't settled. Building stable software in a domain that keeps invalidating its own assumptions is the actual problem we're solving. The answer is a design that can absorb the next shift without breaking what people rely on.
What's in v1.0:
Deep Hugging Face integration, low infrastructure burden
What's next: asynchronous GRPO, better scaling support, and making training legible enough that agents can inspect and steer it.

@CohereLabs just released ๐ฟ Tiny Aya: a fully open-source 3B parameter model that speaks 70+ languages ๐! But thereโs a catch:
Tiny Aya is just a language model. It doesnโt support tool calling, the key capability that turns frontier models into powerful *agents*.
So the real question is:
How hard is it to turn Tiny Aya into an agent?
Turns outโฆ itโs simple, thanks to Hugging Face TRL.
Weโre sharing a hands-on example showing how to train Tiny Aya to turn it into a tool-calling agent using TRL, unlocking what could become the first *massively multilingual open agent*.
Small model. Global reach. Agent capabilities.

๐ก Alternatively, you can also set the
hf-mem v0.4.1 now also estimates KV cache memory requirements for any context length and batch size with the --experimental flag!uvx hf-mem --model-id ... --experimental will automatically pull the required information from the Hugging Face Hub to include the KV cache estimation, when applicable.๐ก Alternatively, you can also set the
--max-model-len, --batch-size and --kv-cache-dtype arguments (ร la vLLM) manually if preferred. - 1 reply

After training ๐๐ฆ๐จ๐ฅ๐๐๐ on ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ฌ for nearly a month, I've come to realize something most people overlook: ๐ข๐ง๐๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐ซ๐ฎ๐๐ญ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ฆ๐๐ค๐-๐จ๐ซ-๐๐ซ๐๐๐ค ๐๐๐๐ญ๐จ๐ซ ๐ข๐ง ๐๐๐ ๐ญ๐ซ๐๐ข๐ง๐ข๐ง๐ . ๐ฅ
Everyone talks about model architecture and data quality. And yes, those matter immensely. But here's what nobody tells you: when your training run fails at 2 AM because of mysterious ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ซ๐ซ๐จ๐ซ๐ฌ, or when your expensive GPU cluster is running at ๐๐% ๐๐๐๐ข๐๐ข๐๐ง๐๐ฒ, the problem isn't your model. It's most probably a ๐ฆ๐ข๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ ๐จ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ก๐๐ซ๐๐ฐ๐๐ซ๐. ๐ ๏ธ
Questions that seemed simple but had no clear answers: Why is ๐๐จ๐ ๐ญ๐ซ๐๐ข๐ง๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฌ๐ฅ๐จ๐ฐ๐๐ซ ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ง ๐๐๐ง๐ฌ๐ ๐ฆ๐จ๐๐๐ฅ๐ฌ? Which ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ฅ๐๐ ๐ฌ should we actually set? How often should we checkpoint without killing throughput?
That's why we built ๐๐ก๐ ๐๐ฆ๐จ๐ฅ ๐๐ซ๐๐ข๐ง๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐ฅ๐๐ฒ๐๐จ๐จ๐ค ๐: a complete guide covering everything from model architecture and data curation to the SmolLM3 training marathon, post-training techniques, and crucially, the ๐ข๐ง๐๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐ซ๐ฎ๐๐ญ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ ๐ฅ๐๐ฒ๐๐ซ that most teams get wrong.
We validated real vs theoretical bandwidth across the entire stack: ๐๐๐๐ ๐ก๐ข๐ญ๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ ๐๐/๐ฌ, ๐๐๐๐ข๐ง๐ค ๐.๐ ๐ซ๐๐๐๐ก๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐/๐ฌ, ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ญ ๐๐.๐ ๐๐/๐ฌ. Then we ran collective operations across ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ฌ (16 nodes, 8xH100s each) and measured how performance degrades at scale: all-reduce drops from ๐๐๐ ๐๐/๐ฌ on a single node to ๐๐๐-๐๐๐ ๐๐/๐ฌ across 16 nodes.
If you've ever wondered why your training runs are slower than they should be, or you're planning to scale up and want to avoid expensive mistakes, this guide might save you weeks of debugging.
