Cause (Documented platform behavior): Unsloth checks per-architecture transformers minimums before patching. Fix status: documented_behavior Limitations: - Minimum versions change as models are added; values are from the pinned SHA. Other error fragments: - does not support Qwen3. The minimum required version is 4.50.3. - Unsloth: GLM4 MoE Lite support requires transformers >= 5.0.0 Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor): - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/unslothai/unsloth/1232012651a95be18ddd2fbbd28bb6208db6f364/unsloth/models/loader.py (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Per-model transformers minimum checks (Qwen3, Qwen3.5, Gemma, Granite, Cohere, FalconH1). - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/unslothai/unsloth/1232012651a95be18ddd2fbbd28bb6208db6f364/unsloth/models/glm4_moe.py (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): GLM4 MoE Lite requires transformers >= 5.0.0.
