Inspired by Hugging Face's official MCP server, I've developed a complementary tool that exposes my semantic search API to enhance discovery across the HF platform.

Key capabilities:

- AI-powered semantic search for models and datasets
- Parameter count analysis via safetensors metadata
- Trending content discovery
- Find similar models/datasets functionality
- 11 tools total for enhanced ecosystem navigation

The semantic search goes beyond simple keyword matching, understanding context and relationships between different models and datasets.

Example query: "Find around 10 reasoning Hugging Face datasets published in 2025 focusing on topics other than maths and science. Show a link and a short summary for each dataset." (results in video!)

BOOOOM: Today I'm dropping TINY AGENTS

the 50 lines of code Agent in Javascript 🔥

I spent the last few weeks working on this, so I hope you will like it.

I've been diving into MCP (Model Context Protocol) to understand what the hype was all about.

It is fairly simple, but still quite powerful: MCP is a standard API to expose sets of Tools that can be hooked to LLMs.

But while doing that, came my second realization:

Once you have a MCP Client, an Agent is literally just a while loop on top of it. 🤯

Came across a very nice submission from @marcodsn for the reasoning datasets competition (https://huggingface.co/blog/bespokelabs/reasoning-datasets-competition).

The dataset distils reasoning chains from arXiv research papers in biology and economics. Some nice features of the dataset:

- Extracts both the logical structure AND researcher intuition from academic papers
- Adopts the persona of researchers "before experiments" to capture exploratory thinking
- Provides multi-short and single-long reasoning formats with token budgets - Shows 7.2% improvement on MMLU-Pro Economics when fine-tuning a 3B model

It's created using the Curator framework with plans to scale across more scientific domains and incorporate multi-modal reasoning with charts and mathematics.

I personally am very excited about datasets like this, which involve creativity in their creation and don't just rely on $$$ to produce a big dataset with little novelty.

Dataset can be found here: marcodsn/academic-chains (give it a like!)
