hey hey
@mradermacher
- VB from Hugging Face here, we'd love to onboard you over to our optimised xet backend! 💥
as you know we're in the process of upgrading our storage backend to xet (which helps us scale and offer blazingly fast upload/ download speeds too): https://huggingface.co/blog/xet-on-the-hub and now that we are certain that the backend can scale with even big models like Llama 4/ Qwen 3 - we;re moving to the next phase of inviting impactful orgs and users on the hub over as you are a big part of the open source ML community - we would love to onboard you next and create some excitement about it in the community too!
in terms of actual steps - it should be as simple as one of the org admins to join hf.co/join/xet - we'll take care of the rest.
p.s. you'd need to have a the latest hf_xet version of huggingface_hub lib but everything else should be the same: https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/storage-backends#using-xet-storage
p.p.s. this is fully backwards compatible so everything will work as it should! 🤗

If you've followed the progress of robotics in the past 18 months, you've likely noticed how robotics is increasingly becoming the next frontier that AI will unlock.
At Hugging Face—in robotics and across all AI fields—we believe in a future where AI and robots are open-source, transparent, and affordable; community-built and safe; hackable and fun. We've had so much mutual understanding and passion working with the Pollen Robotics team over the past year that we decided to join forces!
You can already find our open-source humanoid robot platform Reachy 2 on the Pollen website and the Pollen community and people here on the hub at
pollen-robotics
We're so excited to build and share more open-source robots with the world in the coming months!

The new DeepSite space is really insane for vibe-coders
enzostvs/deepsite
With the wave of vibe-coding-optimized LLMs like the latest open-source DeepSeek model (version V3-0324), you can basically prompt out-of-the-box and create any app and game in one-shot.
It feels so powerful to me, no more complex framework or under-the-hood prompt engineering to have a working text-to-app tool.
AI is eating the world and *open-source* AI is eating AI itself!
PS: and even more meta is that the DeepSite app and DeepSeek model are both fully open-source code => time to start recursively improve?
PPS: you still need some inference hosting unless you're running the 600B param model at home, so check the very nice list of HF Inference Providers for this model: deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3-0324

We've kept pushing our Open-R1 project, an open initiative to replicate and extend the techniques behind DeepSeek-R1.
And even we were mind-blown by the results we got with this latest model we're releasing: ⚡️OlympicCoder ( open-r1/OlympicCoder-7B and open-r1/OlympicCoder-32B)
It's beating Claude 3.7 on (competitive) programming –a domain Anthropic has been historically really strong at– and it's getting close to o1-mini/R1 on olympiad level coding with just 7B parameters!
And the best part is that we're open-sourcing all about its training dataset, the new IOI benchmark, and more in our Open-R1 progress report #3: https://huggingface.co/blog/open-r1/update-3
Datasets are are releasing:
- open-r1/codeforces
- open-r1/codeforces-cots
- open-r1/ioi
- open-r1/ioi-test-cases
- open-r1/ioi-sample-solutions
- open-r1/ioi-cots
- open-r1/ioi-2024-model-solutions

SmolVLM-2 and SigLIP-2 are now part of
They're added on top of the v4.49.0 release, and can be installed from the following tags:
This marks a new beginning for the release process of transformers. For the past five years, we've been doing monthly releases featuring many models (v4.49.0, the latest release, features 9 new architectures).
Starting with SmolVLM-2 & SigLIP2, we'll now additionally release tags supporting new models on a stable branch. These models are therefore directly available for use by installing from the tag itself. These tags will continue to be updated with fixes applied to these models.
Going forward, continue expecting software releases following semantic versioning: v4.50.0 will have ~10 new architectures compared to v4.49.0, as well as a myriad of new features, improvements and bug fixes. Accompanying these software releases, we'll release tags offering brand new models as fast as possible, to make them accessible to all immediately.

We are proud to announce
HuggingFaceFW/fineweb-2: A sparkling update to
HuggingFaceFW/fineweb 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 multilingual datasets in our experiments.
The dataset is released under the permissive 📜 ODC-By 1.0 license, and the 💻 code to reproduce it and our evaluations is public.
We will very soon announce a big community project, and are working on a 📝 blogpost walking you through the entire dataset creation process. Stay tuned!
In the mean time come ask us question on our chat place: HuggingFaceFW/discussion
H/t @guipenedo @hynky @lvwerra as well as @vsabolcec Bettina Messmer @negar-foroutan and @mjaggi

Very exciting new
mistralai/Pixtral-Large-Instruct-2411 model from Mistral-AI
Impressive performances, huge congrats @patrickvonplaten @sgvaze @pandora-s @devendrachaplot @sophiamyang and team!
Very nice to have SOTA Multilingual OCR and Chart understanding in an open-weights model
