New Models

• Translate Gemma: A multimodal variant of the Gemma 3 model fine-tuned for high-quality machine translation across 55 languages and capable to translate many more languages both directions, supporting both text and image inputs.
• SAM3 (Segment Anything Model 3): A next-generation computer vision model that introduces Promptable Concept Segmentation (PCS), allowing for precise object and concept segmentation through text or visual prompts.
• Qwen 2.5 Coder: A code-specialized version of the Qwen 2.5 series, optimized for programming tasks, debugging, and code generation across a wide variety of programming languages.
• Qwen 2.5 Math: A specialized variant of the Qwen 2.5 family designed for advanced mathematical reasoning, capable of solving complex problems with high precision.
• Qwen 3 Coder: An advanced coding Mixture-of-Experts model built on the Qwen 3 MoE architecture, delivering exceptional performance across both programming benchmarks and agentic tasks.
• RWKV7: A high-performance, fully recurrent (100% RNN) architecture featuring linear-time complexity and constant-space inference. By eliminating the need for a KV-cache and standard attention mechanisms.

Export to Safetensors

• Added Gemma3 Text models support for Safetensor export.
• Added Qwen Text models support for Safetensor export.

New Features

• Hugging Face Porting Script: Added an automated script to port any text-only decoder LLM from Hugging Face to the Keras Hub repository.
• AWQ Support: Added support for Activation-aware Weight Quantization (AWQ).

Bug Fixes and Improvements

• Python 3.13 Compatibility: Made tensorflow-text an optional dependency to ensure compatibility with Python 3.13.
• Masking: Fixed masking issues in TokenAndPositionEmbedding and improved compatibility with JAX.
• Security: Fixed a safe mode bypass vulnerability in tokenizers.
• Numerical Stability: Fixed a float16 overflow issue in Gemma 3.
