Privacy matters when talking to AI! 🔇

We've just added a microphone mute button to FastRTC in our latest update (v0.0.14). Now you control exactly what your LLM hears.

Plus lots more features in this release! Check them out:

LeRobot goes to driving school! 🚗🚗🚗

Hugging Face just announced a new collab with Yaak to bring the largest open-source self-driving dataset to LeRobot!

Major kudos to HF's @cadene , as well as @sandhawalia , @Shnissen and the Yaak team!

🔥The Open R1 team just dropped OlympicCoder and it's wild:

- 7B model outperforms Claude 3.7 Sonnet on IOI benchmark (yes, 7B!!)
- 32B crushes all open-weight models tested, even those 100x larger 🤯

Open-sourcing the future of code reasoning! 🚀

Introducing OlympicCoder: a series of open reasoning models that can solve olympiad-level programming problems 🧑‍💻

- 7B open-r1/OlympicCoder-7B
- 32B open-r1/OlympicCoder-32B

We find that OlympicCoder models outperform Claude 3.7 Sonnet, as well as others over 100x larger 💪

Together with the models, we are releasing:

📊CodeForces-CoTs: new dataset of code problems from the most popular competitive coding platform, with R1 traces in C++ and Python open-r1/codeforces-cots

🏆 IOI'2024: a new benchmark of VERY hard programming problems where even frontier models struggle to match human performance open-r1/ioi

For links to the models and datasets, check out our latest progress report from Open R1: https://huggingface.co/blog/open-r1/update-3

Important notice 🚨

For Inference Providers who have built support for our Billing API (currently: Fal, Novita, HF-Inference – with more coming soon), we've started enabling Pay as you go (=PAYG)

What this means is that you can use those Inference Providers beyond the free included credits, and they're charged to your HF account.

You can see it on this view: any provider that does not have a "Billing disabled" badge, is PAYG-compatible.

An assembly of 18 European companies, labs, and universities have banded together to launch 🇪🇺 EuroBERT! It's a state-of-the-art multilingual encoder for 15 European languages, designed to be finetuned for retrieval, classification, etc.

🇪🇺 15 Languages: English, French, German, Spanish, Chinese, Italian, Russian, Polish, Portuguese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Dutch, Arabic, Turkish, Hindi
3️⃣ 3 model sizes: 210M, 610M, and 2.1B parameters - very very useful sizes in my opinion
➡️ Sequence length of 8192 tokens! Nice to see these higher sequence lengths for encoders becoming more common.
⚙️ Architecture based on Llama, but with bi-directional (non-causal) attention to turn it into an encoder. Flash Attention 2 is supported.
🔥 A new Pareto frontier (stronger *and* smaller) for multilingual encoder models
📊 Evaluated against mDeBERTa, mGTE, XLM-RoBERTa for Retrieval, Classification, and Regression (after finetuning for each task separately): EuroBERT punches way above its weight.
📝 Detailed paper with all details, incl. data: FineWeb for English and CulturaX for multilingual data, The Stack v2 and Proof-Pile-2 for code.

Check out the release blogpost here: https://huggingface.co/blog/EuroBERT/release
* EuroBERT/EuroBERT-210m
* EuroBERT/EuroBERT-610m
* EuroBERT/EuroBERT-2.1B

The next step is for researchers to build upon the 3 EuroBERT base models and publish strong retrieval, zero-shot classification, etc. models for all to use. I'm very much looking forward to it!

I was chatting with @peakji , one of the cofounders of Manu AI, who told me he was on Hugging Face (very cool!).

He shared an interesting insight which is that agentic capabilities might be more of an alignment problem rather than a foundational capability issue. Similar to the difference between GPT-3 and InstructGPT, some open-source foundation models are simply trained to 'answer everything in one response regardless of the complexity of the question' - after all, that's the user preference in chatbot use cases. Just a bit of post-training on agentic trajectories can make an immediate and dramatic difference.

As a thank you to the community, he shared 100 invite code first-come first serve, just use “HUGGINGFACE” to get access!

5 New implementations of Diffusion Models

Diffusion models are widely used for image and video generation but remain underexplored in text generation, where autoregressive models (ARMs) dominate. Unlike ARMs, which produce tokens sequentially, diffusion models iteratively refine noise through denoising steps, offering greater flexibility and speed.
Recent advancements show a shift toward using diffusion models in place of, or alongside, ARMs. Researchers also combine strengths from both methods and integrate autoregressive concepts into diffusion.

Here are 5 new implementations of diffusion models:

1. Mercury family of diffusion LLMs (dLLMs) by Inception Labs -> https://www.inceptionlabs.ai/news
It applies diffusion to text and code data, enabling sequence generation 10x faster than today's top LLMs. Now available Mercury Coder can run at over 1,000 tokens/sec on NVIDIA H100s.

2. Diffusion of Thoughts (DoT) -> Diffusion of Thoughts: Chain-of-Thought Reasoning in Diffusion Language Models (2402.07754)
Integrates diffusion models with Chain-of-Thought. DoT allows reasoning steps to diffuse gradually over time. This flexibility enables balancing between reasoning quality and computational cost.

3. LLaDA -> Large Language Diffusion Models (2502.09992)
Shows diffusion models' potential in replacing ARMs. Trained with pre-training and SFT, LLaDA masks tokens, predicts them via a Transformer, and optimizes a likelihood bound. LLaDA matches key LLM skills, and surpasses GPT-4o in reversal poetry.

4. LanDiff -> The Best of Both Worlds: Integrating Language Models and Diffusion Models for Video Generation (2503.04606)
This hybrid text-to-video model combines autoregressive and diffusion paradigms, introducing a semantic tokenizer, an LM for token generation, and a streaming diffusion model. LanDiff outperforms models like Sora.

5. General Interpolating Discrete Diffusion (GIDD) -> Generalized Interpolating Discrete Diffusion (2503.04482)
A flexible noising process with a novel diffusion ELBO enables combining masking and uniform noise, allowing diffusion models to correct mistakes, where ARMs struggle.

Honored to be named among their 12 pioneers and power players in the news industry in the 2025 Tech Trends Report from Future Today Strategy Group.

Incredible group to be part of - each person is doing groundbreaking work at the intersection of AI and journalism. Worth following them all: they're consistently sharing practical insights on building the future of news.

Take the time to read this report, it's packed with insights as always. The news & information section's #1 insight hits hard: "The most substantive economic impact of AI to date has been licensing payouts for a handful of big publishers. The competition will start shifting in the year ahead to separate AI 'haves' that have positioned themselves to grow from the 'have-nots.'"

This AI-driven divide is something I've been really concerned about. Now is the time to build more than ever!

Extremely bullish on @CohereForAI 's Aya Vision (8B & 32B) - new SOTA open-weight VLMs

- 8B wins up to 81% of the time in its class, better than Gemini Flash
- 32B beats Llama 3.2 90B!
- Covers 23 languages, excels in image captioning, VQA & more
- Integrated on transformers from Day 0!

Efficient multimodal models are here to stay!!🔥
