Release: v5.21.0

# Release v5.21.0 ## New Model additions ### MiniCPM-OCR MiniCPM-OCR is a document-understanding model from OpenBMB's MiniCPM-V family. It keeps the MiniCPM-V 4.6 architecture, which pairs a SigLIP vision encoder and a window-attention merger with a Qwen3.5 language model. It is specialized for reading text-dense images such as scanned pages, screenshots, receipts and tables. **Links:** [Documentation](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/main/en/model_doc/minicpm_ocr) | [Paper](https://huggingface.co/papers/2509.18154) * Feat test (#49920) by @guarin in [#49920](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/pull/49920) ### Flint Flint is Recursive's mixture-of-experts language model.

Fleet-wide computer vision lifecycle at the edge with SageMaker SDK v3

Fleet-wide computer vision needs a model per camera, not one model for the whole fleet. This post presents a working Amazon SageMaker SDK v3 reference architecture that trains, quality-gates, compiles per-camera models with SageMaker Neo, and versions thousands of them, with an AWS Step Functions layer pacing fleet-scale retraining within account quotas.

Phronix: The Capability-Centric Learning Paradigm for Agents

arXiv:2610.31789v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Scientific computing increasingly relies on large language model-based agents for performance engineering tasks such as instrumentation, analysis, and workflow porting. However, agent effectiveness depends heavily on the surrounding harness, which typically relies on manually written skills and curated memory. This limits autonomous learning, forcing agents to repeatedly rediscover solutions rather than retain and reuse knowledge from prior executions. We introduce Phronix, a capability-centric learning paradigm that enables agentic harnesses to acquire, validate, and refine reusable capabilities from their own executions. Phronix operates through a predictor-validator-corrector loop: MCP tools and associated skills propose solutions, tool ex

Zhen’an Technology plans to acquire, through cash, no less than 51% of the equity in Shenzhen Sanwei, marking the second step in bolstering its computing power and thermal management capabilities.

Zhen’an Technology (300767.SZ) announced on October 26, 2026, that it plans to acquire, in cash, no less than 51% of the equity interest in Shenzhen Sanwei Mechanical and Electrical Equipment Co., Ltd., a transaction expected to constitute a major asset restructuring. This marks the company’s second acquisition of an affiliated thermal‑control asset within the year; earlier, in March 2026, it had acquired a 51% stake in Dongchuang Jingyi. The deal aims to strengthen its upstream precision‑manufacturing capabilities in the computing‑power thermal‑control value chain. However, the company’s core business continues to shrink, it has posted consecutive losses over the past three years, maintains high leverage, and faces an accounts‑receivable bad‑debt ratio approaching 40%, with the effectiveness of its transformation still pending verification.

Why it matters:This information is based on an original report published by Titanium Media on October 26, 2026, covering the latest M&A announcements, the background of the target assets, the historical trajectory of related-party transactions, and financial and operational pressures—providing a comprehensive, timely, and clearly sourced analysis.

Learning What to Ask for Tomorrow: Active Preference Acquisition for Long-Term Personalized Web Agents

arXiv:2610.31107v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Web agents increasingly serve the same user across repeated online tasks such as booking travel, shopping, and scheduling, so their long-term usefulness depends on how well they know the user's preferences. Passive memory and personalization methods cannot obtain preferences the user never reveals, and clarification methods that value a question by its benefit to the current task overlook the benefit of reusing the answer in later tasks. We study Active Preference Acquisition (APA): which missing preferences are worth the cost of asking? We define the Prospective Personalization Value (PPV) of a missing preference as its expected cumulative utility gain over future tasks minus the effort and disclosure-risk cost of asking, and select question
