.NET

A little wrapper for Hugging Face Transformers in C#. This is not a comprehensive 1:1 mapping of the whole HuggingFace transformers package, because the API is enormous.

If you need a specific feature, toggle or pipeline API clone this repo and make adjustments.

This project was created using CSnakes and will fetch Python, PyTorch, and Hugging Face Transformers automatically, so you don't need to install them manually.

CSnakes is a .NET Source Generator and Runtime that you can use to embed Python code and libraries into your .NET Solution without the need for REST, HTTP, or Microservices.

We are super excited to introduce a new feature that was released as part of .NET 10 Preview 4 that makes getting started with C# easier than ever. You can now run a C# file directly using dotnet run app.cs. This means you no longer need to create a project file or scaffold a whole application to run a quick script, test a snippet, or experiment with an idea. It’s simple, intuitive, and designed to streamline the C# development experience, especially for those just getting started.

In upcoming .NET 10 previews we’re aiming to improve the experience of working with file-based apps in VS Code, with enhnanced IntelliSense for the new file-based directives, improved performance, and support for debugging. At the command line we’re exploring support for file-based apps with multiple files, and ways to make running file-based apps faster.

Like dotnet run app.cs. C# is becoming a scripting language :)
