Super excited to announce that our research team at Hugging Face will be doing an AMA on reddit r/LocalLLaMA.

Come ask any questions to the team behind SmolLM, FineWeb and more! And who knows, maybe there’ll be a shiny new release to talk about?

Thursday 4th September, 8AM-11AM PST 🤗

Motif 2.6B tech report is pretty insane, first time i see a model with differential attention and polynorm trained at scale!

> It's trained on 2.5T of token, with a "data mixture schedule" to continuously adjust the mixture over training.
> They use WSD with a "Simple moving average" averaging the last 6 ckpt every 8B token.
> They trained on Finemath, Fineweb2, DCLM, TxT360.
> Lot of details in the finetuning data they used, for instance they used EvolKit and did some "dataset fusion" to have more compressed knowledge into the data.
> They mention they also tried Normalized GPT, QK-Norm and Cross Layer Attention.

Okay this is insane... WebGPU-accelerated semantic video tracking, powered by DINOv3 and Transformers.js! 🤯
Demo (+ source code): webml-community/DINOv3-video-tracking

This will revolutionize AI-powered video editors... which can now run 100% locally in your browser, no server inference required (costs $0)! 😍

How does it work? 🤔
1️⃣ Generate and cache image features for each frame
2️⃣ Create a list of embeddings for selected patch(es)
3️⃣ Compute cosine similarity between each patch and the selected patch(es)
4️⃣ Highlight those whose score is above some threshold

... et voilà! 🥳

You can also make selections across frames to improve temporal consistency! This is super useful if the object changes its appearance slightly throughout the video.

Excited to see what the community builds with it!

The next generation of AI-powered websites is going to be WILD! 🤯

In-browser tool calling & MCP is finally here, allowing LLMs to interact with websites programmatically.

To show what's possible, I built a demo using Liquid AI's new LFM2 model, powered by 🤗 Transformers.js: LiquidAI/LFM2-WebGPU

As always, the demo is open source (which you can find under the "Files" tab), so I'm excited to see how the community builds upon this! 🚀

Say hello to hf: a faster, friendlier Hugging Face CLI ✨

We are glad to announce a long-awaited quality-of-life improvement: the Hugging Face CLI has been officially renamed from huggingface-cli to hf!

So... why this change?

Typing huggingface-cli constantly gets old fast. More importantly, the CLI’s command structure became messy as new features were added over time (upload, download, cache management, repo management, etc.). Renaming the CLI is a chance to reorganize commands into a clearer, more consistent format.

We decided not to reinvent the wheel and instead follow a well-known CLI pattern: hf <resource> <action>. Isn't hf auth login easier to type and remember?

The full rationale, implementation details, and migration notes are in the blog post: https://huggingface.co/blog/hf-cli

Kimi K2 tech report is full of gems as always. Here are my notes on it:

> MuonClip: Pretty crazy how after 70k the training stabilizes and the QK-clip is basically inactive. There is also no loss in perf with QK-clip which is not trivial at all (at small scale but with aggressive threshold). Also a cool explanation of why muon makes the logit explode in appendix E (tl;dr is that muon makes the singular value of the update matrix higher)
> Sparsity scaling laws to justify their ratio, they have a very solid training infra that allows the model to be trained at this sparsity level, they could have increased even more but as sparsity increases the training becomes less efficient.
> They diminish the number of attention heads to make it more efficient for long context since attention heads are a big bottleneck for long context. They also remove 2 of the 3 "first dense" layers in the dsv3 arch.

With the sparsity and attention heads (divided by 2) they achieve 83% increased flops compared to deepseek v3 arch at 128k.

> Data: Rephrasing is KEY. They do a lot more synthetic data generation and rephrase their corpus to have different styles, for longer documents they do it by chunk. I'm (half) surprised by the fact that ONLY 1 epoch (assuming same number of training tokens I think?) of data rephrased 10 times has better accuracy than 10 epochs of the same data rephrased once.
> They do rewriting for Math and Knowledge, for Math they apply the ShallowMath recipe and instruct the model to rephrase in a "learning note" style
> They talk about diversity and probably have some internal stuff/eval to test that, as always still a bit unclear for me how to properly measure that.

The infra is also very nice, quick summary:
> PP=16 (1F1B schedule, a bit custom), EP=16, zero1
> No FP8 computation but for storage of specific layers, selective recomputation for inexpensive block, activation offloading to CPU

Excited to onboard FeatherlessAI on Hugging Face as an Inference Provider - they bring a fleet of 6,700+ LLMs on-demand on the Hugging Face Hub 🤯

Starting today, you'd be able to access all those LLMs (OpenAI compatible) on HF model pages and via OpenAI client libraries too! 💥

Go, play with it today: https://huggingface.co/blog/inference-providers-featherless

P.S. They're also bringing on more GPUs to support all your concurrent requests!

Open Source Avengers, Assemble! Ask an expert AI agent team to solve complex problems together 🔥

Consilium brings together multiple agents that debate and use live research (web, arXiv, SEC) to reach a consensus. You set the strategy, they find the answer.

Let's go! Custom generation code has landed in transformers 🚀

Have you designed a new cool KV cache? Maybe you're comparing new test-time compute ideas you've been researching? Have you found a way to do diffusion with existing models? You can now easily share your findings with the community with custom generation code, sharing the well-known generate interface 🤓

In a nutshell, we have expanded the support of custom modeling code on the Hub with *model-agnostic* custom generation code. Write for one model, reuse with any model -- hopefully, this will democratize access to new generation ideas 🫡

As a creator, you gain the ability to get your ideas in transformers with minimal effort. You'll also have access to all Hub features: a landing page for your creation, discussions, usage metrics, ... 🤓

💎 Resources 💎
- docs: https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/generation_strategies#custom-decoding-methods
- minimal example: transformers-community/custom_generate_example
- discussion: transformers-community/support#10

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! 🤗

Always surprised that so few people actually read the FineTasks blog, on
✨how to select training evals with the highest signal✨

If you're serious about training models without wasting compute on shitty runs, you absolutely should read it!!

An high signal eval actually tells you precisely, during training, how wel & what your model is learning, allowing you to discard the bad runs/bad samplings/...!

The blog covers in depth prompt choice, metrics, dataset, across languages/capabilities, and my fave section is "which properties should evals have"👌
(to know on your use case how to select the best evals for you)

Reasoning models like o3 and o4-mini are advancing faster than ever, but imagine what will be possible when they can run locally in your browser! 🤯

Well, with 🤗 Transformers.js, you can do just that! Here's Zyphra's new ZR1 model running at over 100 tokens/second on WebGPU! ⚡️

Giving models access to browser APIs (like File System, Screen Capture, and more) could unlock an entirely new class of web experiences that are personalized, interactive, and run locally in a secure, sandboxed environment.

For now, try out the demo! 👇
