We crossed 1B+ tokens routed to inference providers partners on HF, that we released just a few days ago.
Just getting started of course but early users seem to like it & always happy to be able to partner with cool startups in the ecosystem.
Have you been using any integration and how can we make it better?

Will we soon all have our own personalized AI news agents? And what does it mean for journalism?
Just built a simple prototype based on the Hugging Face course. It lets you get customized news updates on any topic.
Not perfect yet, but you can see where things could go: we'll all be able to build personalized AI agents that curate & analyze news for each of us. And users who could decide to build custom news products for their needs, such as truly personalized newsletters or podcasts.
The implications for both readers & news organizations are significant. To name a few:
- Will news articles remain the best format for informing people?
- What monetization model will work for news organizations?
- How do you create an effective conversion funnel?

8 New Types of RAG
RAG techniques continuously evolve to enhance LLM response accuracy by retrieving relevant external data during generation. To keep up with current AI trends, new RAG types incorporate deep step-by-step reasoning, tree search, citations, multimodality and other effective techniques.
Here's a list of 8 latest RAG advancements:
1. DeepRAG -> DeepRAG: Thinking to Retrieval Step by Step for Large Language Models (2502.01142)
Models retrieval-augmented reasoning as a Markov Decision Process, enabling strategic retrieval. It dynamically decides when to retrieve external knowledge and when rely on parametric reasoning.
2. RealRAG -> RealRAG: Retrieval-augmented Realistic Image Generation via Self-reflective Contrastive Learning (2502.00848)
EnhancesΒ novel object generation by retrieving real-world images and using self-reflective contrastive learning to fill knowledge gap, improve realism and reduce distortions.
3. Chain-of-Retrieval Augmented Generation (CoRAG) -> Chain-of-Retrieval Augmented Generation (2501.14342)
Retrieves information step-by-step and adjusts it, also deciding how much compute power to use at test time. If needed it reformulates queries.
4. VideoRAG -> VideoRAG: Retrieval-Augmented Generation over Video Corpus (2501.05874)
Enables unlimited-length video processing, using dual-channel architecture that integrates graph-based textual grounding and multi-modal context encoding.
5. CFT-RAG ->Β CFT-RAG: An Entity Tree Based Retrieval Augmented Generation Algorithm With Cuckoo Filter (2501.15098)
A tree-RAG acceleration method uses an improved Cuckoo Filter to optimize entity localization, enabling faster retrieval.
6. Contextualized Graph RAG (CG-RAG) -> CG-RAG: Research Question Answering by Citation Graph Retrieval-Augmented LLMs (2501.15067)
Uses Lexical-Semantic Graph Retrieval (LeSeGR) to integrate sparse and dense signals within graph structure and capture citation relationships
7. GFM-RAG -> GFM-RAG: Graph Foundation Model for Retrieval Augmented Generation (2502.01113)
A graph foundation model that uses a graph neural network to refine query-knowledge connections
8. URAG -> URAG: Implementing a Unified Hybrid RAG for Precise Answers in University Admission Chatbots -- A Case Study at HCMUT (2501.16276)
A hybrid system combining rule-based and RAG methods to improve lightweight LLMs for educational chatbots
