    RWKV (pronounced RwaKuv) is an RNN with great LLM performance, which can also be directly trained like a GPT transformer (parallelizable). We are at RWKV-7 "Goose". So it's combining the best of RNN and transformer - great performance, linear time, constant space (no kv-cache), fast training, infinite ctx_len, and free sentence embedding.

Find engineers shipping Transformers

The list above ranks the most-starred public repositories tagged with the Transformers topic, drawn from the public GitHub graph. Across 863 repositories tagged this way, the maintainers and top contributors are a tight cluster of the people actually building Transformers.

Looking for engineers who’ve worked on Transformers for real, not just listed it on LinkedIn? The fastest path is the contributor list of these repos. Their commits, issues, and READMEs are public proof of depth.

Refolk turns this list into a search. Ask for “maintainers of top Transformers repos who are hiring”, Transformers engineers in San Francisco”, or “founders shipping Transformers” and Refolk returns a ranked shortlist with sources.

How this list is built

Refolk searched GitHub for public repositories tagged with the Transformers topic, ranked them by stargazer count, and kept those with at least 50 stars. The list refreshes once a day.
