-Transformers is a library of pretrained text, computer vision, audio, video, and multimodal models for inference and training. Use Transformers to fine-tune models on your data, build inference applications, and for generative AI use cases across multiple modalities.
 
-There are over 500K+ Transformers [model checkpoints](https://huggingface.co/models?library=transformers&sort=trending) on the [Hugging Face Hub](https://huggingface.com/models) you can use.
+Transformers acts as the model-definition framework for state-of-the-art machine learning models in text, computer 
+vision, audio, video, and multimodal model, for both inference and training. 
+
+It centralizes the model definition so that this definition is agreed upon across the ecosystem. `transformers` is the 
+pivot across frameworks: if a model definition is supported, it will be compatible with the majority of training 
+frameworks (Axolotl, Unsloth, DeepSpeed, FSDP, PyTorch-Lightning, ...), inference engines (vLLM, SGLang, TGI, ...),
+and adjacent modeling libraries (llama.cpp, mlx, ...) which leverage the model definition from `transformers`.
+
+We pledge to help support new state-of-the-art models and democratize their usage by having their model definition be
+simple, customizable, and efficient.

 # Transformers
 
-Transformers is a library of pretrained natural language processing, computer vision, audio, and multimodal models for inference and training. Use Transformers to train models on your data, build inference applications, and generate text with large language models.
