Happy holidays everyone! What would you want to see more from Hugging Face in 2025?
People are flexing their end of year stats, so I made this app to show @hf.co hub stats in a tidy design! Thanks @jfcalvo.hf.co and @ameeelie.bsky.social for the feature!
Just 10 days after o1's public debut, we’re thrilled to unveil the open-source version of the technique behind its success: scaling test-time compute By giving models more "time to think," Llama 1B outperforms Llama 8B in math—beating a model 8x its size. The full recipe is open-source!
Announcing 🥂 FineWeb2: A sparkling update with 1000s of 🗣️languages. We applied the same data-driven approach that led to SOTA English performance in🍷 FineWeb to thousands of languages. 🥂 FineWeb2 has 8TB of compressed text data and outperforms other datasets.
The FineWeb team is happy to finally release "FineWeb2" 🥂🥳 FineWeb 2 extends the data driven approach to pre-training dataset design that was introduced in FineWeb 1 to now covers 1893 languages/scripts Details: huggingface.co/datasets/Hug... A detailed open-science tech report is coming soon
The folks at Foursquare released a @hf.co dataset of 104.5 million places of interest and here's all of them plotted using datashader

Let's make AI more inclusive. At @huggingface.bsky.social we'll launch a huge community sprint soon to build high-quality training datasets for many languages. We're looking for Language Leads to help with outreach. Find your language and nominate yourself: forms.gle/iAJVauUQ3FN8...
Six predictions for AI in 2025 (and a review of how my 2024 predictions turned out):
I would put this even more strongly: open source AI is probably our only realistic chance to avoid a terrifying increase in concentration of power. I do not want to live in a world where the people with all the money also have all the intellectual power.
Nathan Lambert@natolambert.bsky.social · 2y agoThe most realistic reason to be pro open source AI is to reduce concentration of power.
This demo of structured data extraction running on an LLM that executes entirely in the browser (Chrome only for the moment since it uses WebGPU) is amazing My notes here: simonwillison.net/2024/Nov/29/...
Structured Generation w/ SmolLM2 running in browser & WebGPU
Extraordinary demo by Vaibhav Srivastav. Here's Hugging Face's [SmolLM2-1.7B-Instruct](https://huggingface.co/HuggingFaceTB/SmolLM2-1.7B-Instruct) running directly in a web browser (using WebGPU, so r...

vb@reach-vb.hf.co · 2y agoTo showcase how much you can do with just a 1.7B LLM, you pass free text, define a schema of parsing the text into a GitHub issue (title, description, categories, tags, etc) - Let MLC & XGrammar do the rest! That's it, the code is super readable, try it out today! 🤗 huggingface.co/spaces/reach...
Wasn't going to wade into this but... as long as the internet exists in an open form, scraping will exist, and that's kind of the whole point... APIs exist because interacting with data is valuable and scraping (the old fashioned way) is annoying.
For me, the biggest risk in AI is centralization of power and benefits in the hands of a few. This is why at @hf.co, we've been investing on building online courses for as many people as possible to understand and learn to build AI themselves. You can find some of them here: huggingface.co/learn

I’m thankful for everyone using Bluesky, everyone building on atproto, everyone listening to our message and sharing our dream of a better social media ecosystem that puts people first. We’re going to do this together — thanks for joining us on this journey!
A dataset of 1 million or 2 million Bluesky posts is completely irrelevant to training large language models. The primary usecase for the datasets that people are losing their shit over isn't ChatGPT, it's social science research and developing systems that improve Bluesky.
Jeremy Howard @howard.fm · 2y agoDid you know that 99% of email today is spam? Your inbox isn’t 99% spam because AI is used to filter it. The same 99% will happen here too, but if AI researchers continue to get perma-banned for making available the datasets needed to filter it, it’s going to make this platform unusable.

Hi, so I've spent the past almost-decade studying research uses of public social media data, like e.g. ML researchers using content from Twitter, Reddit, and Mastodon. Anyway, buckle up this is about to be a VERY long thread with lots of thoughts and links to papers. 🧵

Good move by @danielvanstrien.bsky.social to apologize & remove the dataset IMO. Let's find ways to fight concentration of power in the hands of proprietary/commercial actors (who are certainly using all the public data they can find w/o telling you) while also fostering consent & attribution.
Daniel van Strien@danielvanstrien.bsky.social · 2y agoI've removed the Bluesky data from the repo. While I wanted to support tool development for the platform, I recognize this approach violated principles of transparency and consent in data collection. I apologize for this mistake.
Let's go! We are releasing SmolVLM, a smol 2B VLM built for on-device inference that outperforms all models at similar GPU RAM usage and tokens throughputs. SmolVLM can be fine-tuned on a Google collab and be run on a laptop! Or process millions of documents with a consumer GPU!

I've been in Brazil for 10 days now 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 I've been surprised by the gap between the massive number of people interested in AI (chatgpt adoption is crazy here) and the relatively low number of real AI builders - aka people and companies building their own AI models, datasets and apps.
