🚀 Optimum: The Last v1 Release 🚀
Optimum v1.27 marks the final major release in the v1 series. As we close this chapter, we're laying the groundwork for a more modular and community-driven future:
- Optimum v2: A lightweight core package for porting Transformers, Diffusers, or Sentence-Transformers to specialized AI hardware/software/accelerators..
- Optimum‑ONNX: A dedicated package where the ONNX/ONNX Runtime ecosystem lives and evolves, faster-moving and decoupled from the Optimum core.
🎯 Why this matters:
- A clearer governance path for ONNX, fostering stronger community collaboration and improved developer experience..
- Enable innovation at a faster pace in a more modular, open-source environment.
💡 What this means:
- More transparency, broader participation, and faster development driven by the community and key actors in the ONNX ecosystem (PyTorch, Microsoft, Joshua Lochner 👀, ...)
- A cleaner, more maintainable core Optimum, focused on extending HF libraries to special AI hardware/software/accelerators tooling and used by our partners (Intel Corporation, Amazon Web Services (AWS), AMD, NVIDIA, FuriosaAI, ...)
🛠️ Major updates I worked on in this release:
✅ Added support for Transformers v4.53 and SmolLM3 in ONNX/ONNXRuntime.
✅ Solved batched inference/generation for all supported decoder model architectures (LLMs).
✨ Big shoutout to @echarlaix for leading the refactoring work that cleanly separated ONNX exporter logic and enabled the creation of Optimum‑ONNX.

It will be very interesting to benchmark how energy-efficient the new Falcon-Edge is: https://huggingface.co/blog/tiiuae/falcon-edge
Should be super efficient on CPU according to the numbers published for BitNet: https://github.com/microsoft/BitNet/blob/main/assets/intel_performance.jpg

Nice paper comparing the fp8 inference efficiency of Nvidia H100 and Intel Gaudi2:
An Investigation of FP8 Across Accelerators for LLM Inference (2502.01070)
The conclusion is interesting: "Our findings highlight that the Gaudi 2, by leveraging FP8, achieves higher throughput-to-power efficiency during LLM inference"
One aspect of AI hardware accelerators that is often overlooked is how they consume less energy than GPUs. It's nice to see researchers starting carrying out experiments to measure this!
Gaudi3 results soon...

Nice to see day 1 support of Falcon 3 on Gaudi with Optimum Habana!

Interested in performing inference with an ONNX model?⚡️
The Optimum docs about model inference with ONNX Runtime is now much clearer and simpler!
You want to deploy your favorite model on the hub but you don't know how to export it to the ONNX format? You can do it in one line of code as follows:

Last week, Intel's new Xeon CPUs, Sapphire Rapids (SPR), landed on Inference Endpoints and I think they got the potential to reduce the cost of your RAG pipelines 💸
Why ? Because they come with Intel® AMX support, which is a set of instructions that support and accelerate BF16 and INT8 matrix multiplications on CPU ⚡
I went ahead and built a Space to showcase how to efficiently deploy embedding models on SPR for both Retrieving and Ranking documents, with Haystack compatible components: https://huggingface.co/spaces/optimum-intel/haystack-e2e
Here's how it works:
- Document Store: A FAISS document store containing the seven-wonders dataset, embedded, indexed and stored on the Space's persistent storage to avoid unnecessary re-computation of embeddings.
- Retriever: It embeds the query at runtime and retrieves from the dataset N documents that are most semantically similar to the query's embedding.
We use the small variant of the BGE family here because we want a model that's fast to run on the entire dataset and has a small embedding space for fast similarity search. Specifically we use an INT8 quantized bge-small-en-v1.5, deployed on an Intel Sapphire Rapids CPU instance.
- Ranker: It re-embeds the retrieved documents at runtime and re-ranks them based on semantic similarity to the query's embedding. We use the large variant of the BGE family here because it's optimized for accuracy allowing us to filter the most relevant k documents that we'll use in the LLM prompt. Specifically we use an INT8 quantized bge-large-en-v1.5, deployed on an Intel Sapphire Rapids CPU instance.
