server: expose the reasoning effort levels of the chat template (#31271) * server: expose the reasoning effort levels of the chat template The capability probe renders a user turn for each candidate level (minimal, low, medium, high, xhigh, max) and for an unknown level. A level is honored when it renders without raising and differently from the unknown level, which shows the template fallback. Levels sharing a render are aliases and the highest one is kept. The caps serialize to JSON, and chat_template_caps in /props reports the list as reasoning_effort_levels, from lowest to highest. * jinja: keep the caps free of the json dependency The caps keep reporting their flags as a map, and the effort levels stay a plain member. common_chat_templates_get_caps() builds the JSON the server reports

model: Add MiniCPM-OCR-Jev (#30980) * model : add MiniCPM-OCR-Jev support The model is a Qwen3.5-VL trunk with a value head read at the last token: it scores an OCR text against an image rendered from it, it does not generate. Add the openbmb-minicpm-ocr-jev decision type, served by POST /v1/systemone. The class scores are the pooled output of the sequence, read with last pooling, so the conversion turns score.weight into cls.output and sets embedding_length_out. The checkpoint has no LM head, so text generation is rejected instead of using the output weights duplicated from the token embeddings. The task is fixed, so its prompt is entirely in the systemone template, the same way h2o-lightning keeps its default there. The processor of the checkpoint allows up to 16384 merged tokens per ima

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.

Mismatches are collected and reported together before the test fails. * tests: leave the listing unchecked on paths the filesystem refuses Some real split names (DevQuasar's Model.Q2_K.gguf-00001-of-00012.gguf under a quant folder) exceed MAX_PATH once materialized in the
