Derived datasets are bigger on Hugging Face Hub than people realise. ~73% of analysed datasets on the Hub are derivatives of something else, i.e. cleaned, translated, extended, etc. Built an explorer that infers the missing lineage from content: huggingface.co/spaces/davan...

AI agents finally have a proper CLI for Jupyter notebooks. nb-cli lets agents read, write, execute, and search notebooks without a running server, built in Rust, optimized for LLM context windows. Read the blog: blog.jupyter.org/nb-cli-a-com...

Thanks so much for putting "The Case for Boring AI" right up front! I've been carrying that banner for a long time -- but just in conversations and meetings -- so now I have this chapter and amazing book-in-progress to link to.

What is "AI for libraries" beyond a catalogue chatbot? IMO: design patterns (OCR, extraction, classification, search), and agents that both run them and develop the small models behind them. As part of work with @natlibscot.bsky.social started a book on this: danielvanstrien.xyz/ai-patterns-...

Exploring 218,567 pages of @bhl-au.bsky.social content using a "gilbert" curve. Just some of the content added by @nicolekearney.bsky.social and her team, HT to @cajunjoel.bsky.social for putting @biodivlibrary.bsky.social images on AWS which made this visualisation possible.

IBM just released the R2 generation of their Granite multilingual embedding models for retrieval, and the jump over R1 is very notable. Two models, both Apache 2.0: - granite-embedding-97m-multilingual-r2 (384-dim) - granite-embedding-311m-multilingual-r2 (768-dim) 🧵

New report is out with the latest open model adoption data we have gathered for Interconnects & The ATOM Project. At the surface level, we can see Chinese models continuing to accelerate in adoption. The report details much more. atomproject.ai/report

EVoC is a library designed specifically for fast clustering of high dimensional embedding vectors. It can produce high quality clusters extremely efficiently, and requires little to no hyperparameter tuning. Better clustering than UMAP + HDBSCAN; faster clustering than KMeans.

You never know what data will be used for! I uploaded a @britishlibrary.bsky.social dataset to Hugging Face in 2022. IIRC one of my first PR to a HF repo! 4 years later, someone trains a Victorian chatbot on it More libraries should be sharing their public domain collections for AI to build on!

Want to talk to the past? Here' an LLM "trained entirely from scratch on a corpus of over 28,000 Victorian-era British texts published between 1837 & 1899, drawn from a dataset made available by the British Library" Quite different from an LLM roleplaying a Victorian. huggingface.co/spaces/tvent...

🚀 We've just open-sourced Embedding Atlas – a tool for exploring large embedding spaces through rich, interactive visualizations 📊.

The best path forward in AI requires technologists to be reflective/self-critical about how their work impacts society. Transparency helps this. Appreciate Bsky for flagging AI ethics &my colleague’s response. Let’s make informed consent a real thing. More later; Recommend: bsky.app/profile/cfie...

I'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.

Super excited to announce our best open-source language models yet. OLMo 2. These instruct models are hot off the press -- finished training with our new RL method this morning and vibes are very good.

I like this new analogy for working with LLMs by @emollick.bsky.social "treat AI like an infinitely patient new coworker who forgets everything you tell them each new conversation, one that comes highly recommended but whose actual abilities are not that clear" www.oneusefulthing.org/p/getting-st...

Bluesky uses AI internally to assist in content moderation, which helps us triage posts and shield human moderators from harmful content. We also use AI in the Discover algorithmic feed to serve you posts that we think you’d like. None of these are Gen AI systems trained on user content.
