One of the hardest challenges in AI safety is finding the right balance: how do we protect people from harm without undermining their agency? This tension is especially visible in conversational systems, where safeguards can sometimes feel more paternalistic than supportive.
In my latest piece for Hugging Face, I argue that open source and community-driven approaches offer a promising (though not exclusive) way forward.
✨ Transparency can make safety mechanisms into learning opportunities.
✨ Collaboration with diverse communities makes safeguards more relevant across contexts.
✨ Iteration in the open lets protections evolve rather than freeze into rigid, one-size-fits-all rules.
Of course, this isn’t a silver bullet. Top-down safety measures will still be necessary in some cases. But if we only rely on corporate control, we risk building systems that are safe at the expense of trust and autonomy.

🤖 As AI-generated content is shared in movies/TV/across the web, there's one simple low-hanging fruit 🍇 to help know what's real: Visible watermarks. With the Gradio team, I've made sure it's trivially easy to add this disclosure to images, video, chatbot text. See how: https://huggingface.co/blog/watermarking-with-gradio
Thanks to the code collab in particular from @abidlabs and Yuvraj Sharma.

We're kick-starting the process of Transformers v5, with
@ArthurZ
and
@cyrilvallez
!
v5 should be significant: we're using it as a milestone for performance optimizations, saner defaults, and a much cleaner code base worthy of 2025.
Fun fact: v4.0.0-rc-1 came out on Nov 19, 2020, nearly five years ago!

upgrade your transformers 🔥
it comes with insanely capable models like merve/sam2-66ac9deac6fca3bc5482fe30, microsoft/kosmos-2.5, and more 🫡
I built a notebook you can run with free Colab T4 to walk through the API for new models 🙋🏻♀️ merve/smol-vision
fine-tuning will follow-up soon!

Did you know you can use AI-Toolkit by Ostris (https://github.com/ostris/ai-toolkit) to train AI image and video models directly inside a Hugging Face space?
The benefit of doing so is that you will get a nice UI, if you do not want to deal with JSON files and CLI shenanigans!
I have created a ready-to-use template you can deploy to your own HF Space to train generative models in a few clicks.
All you have to do is to duplicate my space to your private space by going here: jbilcke-hf/ai-toolkit
This space requires a good GPU and most importantly a persistent storage, as everything is stored in /data.
Currently multiple GPUs isn't supported yet in the UI but it is planned(https://discord.com/channels/1144033039786188891/1166417204015808603/1404851082361835623)
P.S.: Don't forget to set your space to private to make sure only you can access, delete and run training jobs!

I fine-tuned a smol VLM to generate specialized art history metadata!
https://huggingface.co/davanstrien/iconclass-vlm: Qwen2.5-VL-3B trained using SFT to generate ICONCLASS codes (think Dewey Decimal for art!)
Trained with TRL + HF Jobs - single UV script, no GPU needed!
Space to explore predictions on a test set: davanstrien/iconclass-predictions
Blog soon!
