+5. [Common Configuration Patterns](#common-configuration-patterns)
+
+## Overview
+
+The `pipeline()` function accepts three parameters:
+
+```javascript
+import { pipeline } from '@huggingface/transformers';
+
+const pipe = await pipeline(
+  'task-name',           // 1. Task type (e.g., 'sentiment-analysis')
+  'model-id',            // 2. Model identifier (optional, uses default if null)
+  options                // 3. PretrainedModelOptions (optional)
+);
+```
+
+The third parameter, `options`, allows you to configure how the model is loaded and executed.
+
+### Available Options
+
+```typescript
+interface PretrainedModelOptions {
+  // Progress tracking
+  progress_callback?: (info: ProgressInfo) => void;
+  
+  // Model configuration
+  config?: PretrainedConfig;
+  
+  // Cache and loading
+  cache_dir?: string;
+  local_files_only?: boolean;
+  revision?: string;
+  
+  // Model-specific settings
+  subfolder?: string;
+  model_file_name?: string;
+  
+  // Device and performance
+  device?: DeviceType | Record<string, DeviceType>;
+  dtype?: DataType | Record<string, DataType>;
+  
+  // External data format (large models)
+  use_external_data_format?: boolean | number | Record<string, boolean | number>;
+  
+  // ONNX Runtime settings
+  session_options?: InferenceSession.SessionOptions;
+}
+```
+
+## Basic Options
+
+### Progress Callback
+
+Track model download and loading progress. **Recommended:** use `progress_total` for end-to-end progress, and optionally use `progress` for per-file details.
+
+```javascript
+const fileProgress = {};
+
+const pipe = await pipeline('sentiment-analysis', null, {
+  progress_callback: (info) => {
+    // Recommended: end-to-end loading progress
+    if (info.status === 'progress_total') {
+      console.log(`Total: ${info.progress.toFixed(1)}%`);
+      return;
+    }
+
+    // Optional: per-file progress
+    if (info.status === 'progress') {
+      fileProgress[info.file] = info.progress;
+      console.log(`${info.file}: ${info.progress.toFixed(1)}%`);
+    }
+    
+    if (info.status === 'done') {
+      console.log(`✓ ${info.file} complete`);
+    }
+  }
+});
+```
+
+**Progress Info Types:**
+
+```typescript
+type ProgressInfo = {
+  status: 'initiate' | 'download' | 'progress' | 'progress_total' | 'done' | 'ready';
+  name: string;       // Model id or path
+  file?: string;      // File being processed (per-file events)
+  progress?: number;  // Percentage (0-100, for 'progress' and 'progress_total')
+  loaded?: number;    // Bytes downloaded (only for 'progress' status)
+  total?: number;     // Total bytes (only for 'progress' status)
+};
+```
+
+**Example: Browser Loading UI with Multiple Files**
+
+```javascript
+const statusDiv = document.getElementById('status');
+const progressContainer = document.getElementById('progress-container');
+const fileProgressBars = {};
+
+const pipe = await pipeline('image-classification', null, {
+  progress_callback: (info) => {
+    if (info.status === 'progress_total') {
+      statusDiv.textContent = `Total: ${info.progress.toFixed(1)}%`;
+      return;
+    }
+
+    if (info.status === 'progress') {
+      // Create progress bar for each file if not exists
+      if (!fileProgressBars[info.file]) {
+        const fileDiv = document.createElement('div');
+        fileDiv.innerHTML = `
+          <div class="file-name">${info.file}</div>
+          <div class="progress-bar">
+            <div class="progress-fill" style="width: 0%"></div>
+          </div>
+        `;
+        progressContainer.appendChild(fileDiv);
+        fileProgressBars[info.file] = fileDiv.querySelector('.progress-fill');
+      }
+      
+      // Update progress bar
+      fileProgressBars[info.file].style.width = `${info.progress}%`;
+      
+      const mb = (info.loaded / 1024 / 1024).toFixed(2);
+      const totalMb = (info.total / 1024 / 1024).toFixed(2);
+      statusDiv.textContent = `${info.file}: ${mb}/${totalMb} MB`;
+    }
+    
+    if (info.status === 'ready') {
+      statusDiv.textContent = 'Model ready!';
+    }
+  }
+});
+```
+
+For more progress tracking examples, see the examples in this section above.
+
+### Custom Configuration
+
+Override the model's default configuration:
+
+```javascript
+import { pipeline } from '@huggingface/transformers';
+
+const pipe = await pipeline('text-generation', 'model-id', {
+  config: {
+    max_length: 512,
+    temperature: 0.8,
+    // ... other config options
+  }
+});
+```
+
+**Use cases:**
+- Override default generation parameters
+- Adjust model-specific settings
+- Test different configurations without modifying model files
+
+## Model Loading Options
+
+### Cache Directory
+
+Specify where to cache downloaded models:
+
+```javascript
+// Node.js: Custom cache location
+const pipe = await pipeline('sentiment-analysis', 'model-id', {
+  cache_dir: './my-custom-cache'
+});
+```
+
+**Default behavior:**
+- If not specified, uses `env.cacheDir` (default: `./.cache`)
+- Only applies when `env.useFSCache = true` (Node.js)
+- Browser cache uses Cache API (configured via `env.cacheKey`)
+
+
+
+### Local Files Only
+
+Prevent any network requests:
+
+```javascript
+const pipe = await pipeline('sentiment-analysis', 'model-id', {
+  local_files_only: true
+});
+```
+
+**Use cases:**
+- Offline applications
+- Air-gapped environments
+- Testing with pre-downloaded models
+- Production deployments with bundled models
+
+**Important:**
+- Model must already be cached or available locally
+- Throws error if model not found locally
+- Requires `env.allowLocalModels = true`
+
+
+
+### Model Revision
+
+Specify a specific model version (git branch, tag, or commit):
+
+```javascript
+const pipe = await pipeline('sentiment-analysis', 'model-id', {
+  revision: 'v1.0.0'  // Use specific version
+});
+
+// Or use a branch
+const pipe = await pipeline('sentiment-analysis', 'model-id', {
+  revision: 'experimental'
+});
+
+// Or use a commit hash
+const pipe = await pipeline('sentiment-analysis', 'model-id', {
+  revision: 'abc123def456'
+});
+```
+
+**Default:** `'main'` (latest version)
+
+**Use cases:**
+- Pin to stable release for production
+- Test experimental features
+- Reproduce results with specific model version
+- Work with models under development
+
+**Important:**
+- Only applies to remote models (Hugging Face Hub)
+- Ignored for local file paths
+- Each revision is cached separately
+
+### Model Subfolder
+
+Specify the subfolder within the model repository:
+
+```javascript
+const pipe = await pipeline('sentiment-analysis', 'model-id', {
+  subfolder: 'onnx'  // Default: 'onnx'
+});
+```
+
+**Default:** `'onnx'`
+
+**Use cases:**
+- Custom model repository structure
+- Multiple model variants in same repo
+- Organizational preferences
+
+
+
+### Model File Name
+
+Specify a custom model file name (without `.onnx` extension):
+
+```javascript
+const pipe = await pipeline('text-generation', 'model-id', {
+  model_file_name: 'decoder_model_merged'
+});
+// Loads: decoder_model_merged.onnx
+```
+
+**Use cases:**
+- Models with non-standard file names
+- Select specific model variant
+- Encoder-decoder models with separate files
+
+**Note:** Currently only valid for encoder-only or decoder-only models.
+
+
+
+## Device and Performance Options
+
+### Device Selection
+
+Choose where to run the model:
+
+```javascript
+// Run on CPU (WASM - default)
+const pipe = await pipeline('sentiment-analysis', 'model-id', {
+  device: 'wasm'
+});
+
+// Run on GPU (WebGPU)
+const pipe = await pipeline('sentiment-analysis', 'model-id', {
+  device: 'webgpu'
+});
+```
+
+**Common devices:**
+- `'wasm'` - WebAssembly (CPU, most compatible)
+- `'webgpu'` - WebGPU (GPU acceleration in supported runtimes)
+- `'cpu'` - CPU
+- `'gpu'` - Auto-detect GPU
+- `'cuda'` - NVIDIA CUDA (Node.js with GPU)
+
+See the full list in the [devices.js source](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers.js/blob/main/src/utils/devices.js).
+
+**Per-component device selection:**
+
+For models with multiple components (encoder-decoder, vision-encoder-decoder, etc.):
+
+```javascript
+const pipe = await pipeline('automatic-speech-recognition', 'model-id', {
+  device: {
+    encoder: 'webgpu',    // Run encoder on GPU
+    decoder: 'wasm'       // Run decoder on CPU
+  }
+});
+```
+
+**WebGPU Requirements:**
+- Runtime with WebGPU support (browser, Node.js, Bun, or Deno)
+- Compatible hardware/driver stack
+- Adequate GPU memory
+
+
+
+### Data Type (Quantization)
+
+Control model precision and size:
+
+```javascript
+// Full precision (largest, most accurate)
+const pipe = await pipeline('sentiment-analysis', 'model-id', {
+  dtype: 'fp32'
+});
+
+// Half precision (balanced)
+const pipe = await pipeline('sentiment-analysis', 'model-id', {
+  dtype: 'fp16'
+});
+
+// 8-bit quantization (smaller, faster)
+const pipe = await pipeline('sentiment-analysis', 'model-id', {
+  dtype: 'q8'
+});
+
+// 4-bit quantization (smallest, fastest)
+const pipe = await pipeline('sentiment-analysis', 'model-id', {
+  dtype: 'q4'
+});
+```
+
+**Common data types:**
+- `'fp32'` - 32-bit floating point (full precision)
+- `'fp16'` - 16-bit floating point (half precision)
+- `'q8'` - 8-bit quantized (good balance)
+- `'q4'` - 4-bit quantized (maximum compression)
+- `'int8'` - 8-bit integer
+- `'uint8'` - 8-bit unsigned integer
+
+See the full list in the [dtypes.js source](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers.js/blob/main/src/utils/dtypes.js).
+
+**Per-component data type:**
+
+```javascript
+const pipe = await pipeline('automatic-speech-recognition', 'model-id', {
+  dtype: {
+    encoder: 'fp32',  // Encoder at full precision
+    decoder: 'q8'     // Decoder quantized
+  }
+});
+```
+
+**Trade-offs:**
+
+| Data Type | Model Size | Speed | Accuracy | Use Case |
+|-----------|-----------|-------|----------|----------|
+| `fp32` | Largest | Slowest | Highest | Research, maximum quality |
+| `fp16` | Medium | Medium | High | Production, GPU inference |
+| `q8` | Small | Fast | Good | Production, CPU inference |
+| `q4` | Smallest | Fastest | Acceptable | Edge devices, real-time apps |
+
+
+
+### External Data Format
+
+For models >= 2GB, ONNX uses external data format:
+
+```javascript
+// Automatically detect and load external data
+const pipe = await pipeline('text-generation', 'large-model-id', {
+  use_external_data_format: true
+});
+
+// Specify number of external data chunks
+const pipe = await pipeline('text-generation', 'large-model-id', {
+  use_external_data_format: 5  // Load 5 chunks (model.onnx_data_0 to _4)
+});
+```
+
+**How it works:**
+- Models >= 2GB split weights into separate files
+- Main file: `model.onnx` (structure only)
+- Data files: `model.onnx_data` or `model.onnx_data_0`, `model.onnx_data_1`, etc.
+
+**Default behavior:**
+- `false` - No external data (models < 2GB)
+- `true` - Load external data automatically
+- `number` - Load this many external data chunks
+
+**Maximum chunks:** 100 (defined by `MAX_EXTERNAL_DATA_CHUNKS`)
+
+**Per-component external data:**
+
+```javascript
+const pipe = await pipeline('text-generation', 'large-model-id', {
+  use_external_data_format: {
+    encoder: true,
+    decoder: 3  // Decoder has 3 external data chunks
+  }
+});
+```
+
+
+
+### Session Options
+
+Advanced ONNX Runtime configuration:
+
+```javascript
+const pipe = await pipeline('sentiment-analysis', 'model-id', {
+  session_options: {
+    executionProviders: ['webgpu', 'wasm'],
+    graphOptimizationLevel: 'all',
+    enableCpuMemArena: true,
+    enableMemPattern: true,
+    executionMode: 'sequential',
+    logSeverityLevel: 2,
+    logVerbosityLevel: 0
+  }
+});
+```
+
+**Common session options:**
+
+| Option | Description | Default |
+|--------|-------------|---------|
+| `executionProviders` | Ordered list of execution providers | `['wasm']` |
+| `graphOptimizationLevel` | Graph optimization: `'disabled'`, `'basic'`, `'extended'`, `'all'` | `'all'` |
+| `enableCpuMemArena` | Enable CPU memory arena for faster memory allocation | `true` |
+| `enableMemPattern` | Enable memory pattern optimization | `true` |
+| `executionMode` | `'sequential'` or `'parallel'` | `'sequential'` |
+| `logSeverityLevel` | 0=Verbose, 1=Info, 2=Warning, 3=Error, 4=Fatal | `2` |
+| `freeDimensionOverrides` | Override dynamic dimensions (e.g., `{ batch_size: 1 }`) | - |
+
+**Use cases:**
+- Fine-tune performance for specific hardware
+- Debug model execution issues
+- Override dynamic shapes
+- Control memory usage
+
+
+
+## Common Configuration Patterns
+
+### Development
+
+Fast iteration with progress tracking:
+
+```javascript
+import { pipeline } from '@huggingface/transformers';
+
+const pipe = await pipeline('sentiment-analysis', null, {
+  progress_callback: (info) => {
+    if (info.status === 'progress_total') {
+      console.log(`Total: ${info.progress.toFixed(1)}%`);
+    }
+  }
+});
+```
+
+### Production (GPU)
+
+Use WebGPU with fp16 for better performance:
+
+```javascript
+const pipe = await pipeline('sentiment-analysis', 'model-id', {
+  device: 'webgpu',
+  dtype: 'fp16'
+});
+```
+
+### Production (CPU)
+
+Use quantization for smaller size and faster CPU inference:
+
+```javascript
+const pipe = await pipeline('sentiment-analysis', 'model-id', {
+  dtype: 'q8'  // or 'q4' for even smaller
+});
+```
+
+### Offline/Local
+
+Prevent network requests, use only local models:
+
+```javascript
+import { pipeline, env } from '@huggingface/transformers';
+
+env.allowLocalModels = true;
+env.localModelPath = './models/';
+
+const pipe = await pipeline('sentiment-analysis', 'model-id', {
+  local_files_only: true
+});
+```
+
+### Per-Component Settings
+
+For encoder-decoder models, configure each component separately:
+
+```javascript
+const pipe = await pipeline('automatic-speech-recognition', 'model-id', {
+  device: {
+    encoder: 'webgpu',
+    decoder: 'wasm'
+  },
+  dtype: {
+    encoder: 'fp16',
+    decoder: 'q8'
+  }
+});
+```

+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Progress Callbacks**: Use `progress_callback` for large models to show download progress
+2. **Quantization**: Use `q8` or `q4` for CPU inference to reduce size and improve speed
+3. **Device Selection**: Use `webgpu` for better performance when available
+4. **Offline-First**: Use `local_files_only: true` in production to avoid runtime downloads
+5. **Version Pinning**: Use `revision` to pin model versions for reproducible deployments
+6. **Memory Management**: Always dispose pipelines with `pipe.dispose()` when done
