Guidance Needed: Adding Models to Transformers

🤗Transformers
1

Hi all,

I’ve contributed to the Transformers documentation before, and now I’d like to move into code contributions, specifically around adding new model architectures.

I’m looking for guidance on:

  1. Mentorship/review support while I work on my first model integration.

  2. Which models are new and eligible to be added (and how to check if someone’s already working on them).

  3. Criteria Hugging Face uses for accepting new models into Transformers.

  4. Best resources for learning the model integration process.

I’d love to work closely with someone experienced so I can start with a smaller model and follow the best practices.

Thanks in advance!

(For context: I’ve read the “Adding a new model” guide and explored the transformers/models directory, but I’d like to make sure I pick a model that’s both needed and feasible for a first PR.)
