This week we are releasing the first framework unit in the course and itโs on smolagents. This is what the unit covers:
- why should you use smolagents vs another library? - how to build agents that use code - build multiagents systems - use vision language models for browser use
The team has been working flat out on this for a few weeks. Led by @sergiopaniego and supported by smolagents author @m-ric.
๐ Hugging Face notification page is getting better! You can now sort your notifications by repositories, posts, papers, and articles. Let us know what you think ๐ฌ
First project of 2025: Vision Transformer Explorer
I built a web app to interactively explore the self-attention maps produced by ViTs. This explains what the model is focusing on when making predictions, and provides insights into its inner workings! ๐คฏ
๐ It should now be easier to identify discussions or pull requests where repository owners are participating on HF, let us know it that helps ๐ฌ๐ค
โจ If you're using HF access tokens, we just released an overview of the permissions for fine-grained tokens by hovering over the badge on token settings page (org and user)
It will show the highest permission you've set for each entity ๐
After some heated discussion ๐ฅ, we clarify our intent re. storage limits on the Hub
TL;DR: - public storage is free, and (unless blatant abuse) unlimited. We do ask that you consider upgrading to PRO and/or Enterprise Hub if possible - private storage is paid above a significant free tier (1TB if you have a paid account, 100GB otherwise)
We optimize our infrastructure continuously to scale our storage for the coming years of growth in Machine learning, to the benefit of the community ๐ฅ
What a week! A recap for everything you missed โ๏ธ merve/nov-22-releases-673fbbcfc1c97c4f411def07 Multimodal โจ > Mistral AI released Pixtral 124B, a gigantic open vision language model > Llava-CoT (formerly known as Llava-o1) was released, a multimodal reproduction of o1 model by PKU > OpenGVLab released MMPR: a new multimodal reasoning dataset > Jina has released Jina-CLIP-v2 0.98B multilingual multimodal embeddings > Apple released new SotA vision encoders AIMv2
LLMs ๐ฆ > AllenAI dropped a huge release of models, datasets and scripts for Tรผlu, a family of models based on Llama 3.1 aligned with SFT, DPO and a new technique they have developed called RLVR > Jina has released embeddings-v3: new multilingual embeddings with longer context > Hugging Face released SmolTalk: synthetic dataset used to align SmolLM2 using supervised fine-tuning > Microsoft released orca-agentinstruct-1M-v1: a gigantic instruction dataset of 1M synthetic instruction pairs
Image Generation ๐ผ๏ธ > Black Forest Labs released Flux 1. tools: four new models for different image modifications and two LoRAs to do image conditioning and better steer generations
Lastly Hugging Face released a new library Observers: a lightweight SDK for monitoring interactions with AI APIs and easily store and browse them ๐ $ pip install observers
