AI is not a zero-sum game. Open-source AI is the tide that lifts all boats!

Checkout phi-4 from Microsoft, dropped a day ago... If you ❤️ the Phi series, then here is the GGUF - Sri-Vigneshwar-DJ/phi-4-GGUF. phi-4 is a 14B highly efficient open LLM that beats much larger models at math and reasoning - check out evaluations on the Open LLM.

Technical paper - https://arxiv.org/pdf/2412.08905 ; The Data Synthesis approach is interesting

Just sharing a thought: I started using DeepSeek V3 a lot, and an idea struck me about agents "orchestrating during inference" on a test-time compute model like DeepSeek V3 or the O1 series.

Agents (Instruction + Function Calls + Memory) execute during inference, and based on the output decision, a decision is made to scale the time to reason or perform other tasks.

Combining smolagents with Anthropic’s best practices simplifies building powerful AI agents:

1. Code-Based Agents: Write actions as Python code, reducing steps by 30%.
2. Prompt Chaining: Break tasks into sequential subtasks with validation gates.
3. Routing: Classify inputs and direct them to specialized handlers.
4. Fallback: Handle tasks even if classification fails.

Coming back to Paris Friday to open our new Hugging Face office!

We're at capacity for the party but add your name in the waiting list as we're trying to privatize the passage du Caire for extra space for robots 🤖🦾🦿

Six predictions for AI in 2025 (and a review of how my 2024 predictions turned out):

- There will be the first major public protest related to AI
- A big company will see its market cap divided by two or more because of AI
- At least 100,000 personal AI robots will be pre-ordered
- China will start to lead the AI race (as a consequence of leading the open-source AI race).
- There will be big breakthroughs in AI for biology and chemistry.
- We will begin to see the economic and employment growth potential of AI, with 15M AI builders on Hugging Face.

How my predictions for 2024 turned out:

- A hyped AI company will go bankrupt or get acquired for a ridiculously low price
✅ (Inflexion, AdeptAI,...)

- Open-source LLMs will reach the level of the best closed-source LLMs
✅ with QwQ and dozens of others

- Big breakthroughs in AI for video, time-series, biology and chemistry
✅ for video 🔴for time-series, biology and chemistry

- We will talk much more about the cost (monetary and environmental) of AI
✅Monetary 🔴Environmental (😢)

- A popular media will be mostly AI-generated
✅ with NotebookLM by Google

- 10 millions AI builders on Hugging Face leading to no increase of unemployment
🔜currently 7M of AI builders on Hugging Face

Hugging Face is becoming the best place to share the most viral AI apps with spaces.

Kolors Virtual Try-on just crossed 6,000,000 unique visitors & is now the #5 most popular space. Congrats to the Kwai Kolors team!

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.

Lots of efforts needed across the world for everyone to participate, control and benefit this foundational technology, starting with open-source & multi-lingual AI, more access to GPUs & AI builder training for all!

I'm in Belo Horizonte for a few days. Any HF community members in Brazil? What are the coolest orgs, models, datasets, spaces from here?

This is no Woodstock AI but will be fun nonetheless haha. I’ll be hosting a live workshop with team members next week about the Enterprise Hugging Face hub.

1,000 spots available first-come first serve with some surprises during the stream!

You can register and add to your calendar here: https://streamyard.com/watch/JS2jHsUP3NDM

Who's going to get to the most liked model on Hugging Face first: StabilityAI, Meta, Black Forest or someone else? The race is on!

Open-source AI creates healthy competition in a field where natural tendencies lead to extreme concentration of power. Imagine a world where only one or two companies could build software. This is the biggest risk and ethical challenge of them all IMO. Let's fight this!
