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!

I read the 456-page AI Index report so you don't have to (kidding). The wild part? While AI gets ridiculously more accessible, the power gap is actually widening:

1️⃣ The democratization of AI capabilities is accelerating rapidly:
- The gap between open and closed models is basically closed: difference in benchmarks like MMLU and HumanEval shrunk to just 1.7% in 2024
- The cost to run GPT-3.5-level performance dropped 280x in 2 years
- Model size is shrinking while maintaining performance - Phi-3-mini hitting 60%+ MMLU at fraction of parameters of early models like PaLM

2️⃣ But we're seeing concerning divides deepening:
- Geographic: US private investment ($109B) dwarfs everyone else - 12x China's $9.3B
- Research concentration: US and China dominate highly-cited papers (50 and 34 respectively in 2023), while next closest is only 7
- Gender: Major gaps in AI skill penetration rates - US shows 2.39 vs 1.71 male/female ratio

The tech is getting more accessible but the benefits aren't being distributed evenly. Worth thinking about as these tools become more central to the economy.

Give it a read - fascinating portrait of where AI is heading! https://hai-production.s3.amazonaws.com/files/hai_ai_index_report_2025.pdf

The Llama 4 release - meta-llama/llama-4-67f0c30d9fe03840bc9d0164 - was a big one for the xet-team with every model backed by the storage infrastructure of the future for the Hub.

It's been a wild few days, and especially 🤯 to see every tensor file with a Xet logo next to it instead of LFS.

The attached graph shows requests per second to our content-addressed store (CAS) right as the release went live.

yellow = GETs; dashed line = launch time.

You can definitely tell when the community started downloading 👀

h/t to @rajatarya for the graph, the entire Xet crew to bring us to this point, and special shoutout to Rajat, @port8080 , @brianronan , @seanses , and @znation who made sure the bytes kept flying all weekend ⚡️

AI agents are transforming how we interact with technology, but how sustainable are they? 🌍

Design choices — like model size and structure — can massively impact energy use and cost. ⚡💰 The key takeaway: smaller, task-specific models can be far more efficient than large, general-purpose ones.

🔑 Open-source models offer greater transparency, allowing us to track energy consumption and make more informed decisions on deployment. 🌱 Open-source = more efficient, eco-friendly, and accountable AI.
