Swift Transformers Reaches 1.0 — and Looks to the Future

Hugging Face has released version 1.0 of `swift-transformers`, a library designed to help developers integrate local LLMs into applications on Apple Silicon. The library provides essential components not found in Core ML or MLX alone, including `Tokenizers` for input preparation and `Hub` for downloading models from the Hugging Face Hub. This major release signals API stability, introduces a more modular structure, and incorporates performance improvements like a faster Jinja library for chat templates. Future development will focus on enhancing support for MLX and exploring agentic use cases.
