Want AI that truly understands your country's culture? Public institutions are sitting on the next AI revolution - and here's the practical guide to unlock it.

I've had fascinating conversations recently about sovereign AI, with people trying to solve this recurring question: "How do we build AI that truly understands our culture?"

This guide by @evijit and @yjernite brings lots of insights about this question. It's not just about throwing data at models. It's about partnering cultural expertise with tech infrastructure in ways we're just starting to figure out.

An example? The National Library of Norway already has 150+ AI models on Hugging Face. They're not just digitizing books - they're building AI that thinks in Norwegian, understands Norwegian values, and serves Norwegian citizens.

This is sovereign AI in practice: technology that understands your culture, values, and languages.

Especially loved the practical examples on how to do this:
- Real examples from museums, libraries, and government agencies
- How to convert complex documents (PDFs, PowerPoints) into ML-ready formats
- Code templates for processing public data
- Technical recipes for sharing datasets on open platforms

The stakes? Citizens' ability to leverage their collective digital intelligence.

The technology is ready. The infrastructure exists. The guide shows exactly how to use it. What's needed is your cultural expertise to shape these tools.

P.s.: Building cool projects in a public institution? Share them in the comments for others to learn from!

Do chatbots lie about Céline Dion? We now have answers, not speculation.

Ai2 just released OLMoTrace and it's a game-changer for transparency. You can literally see where an AI's responses come from in its training data - in real time.

The demo shows results about Céline. So I tried it out myself! Watch what happens in the video.

For journalists, researchers studying hallucinations and anyone who needs to trust their AI, this is like getting X-ray vision into AI systems. When the model made claims, I could instantly verify them against original sources. When it hallucinated, I could see why.

You can finally 1) understand how LLMs actually work and 2) verify if what they're saying is true. No more blind trust.

This pushes the open data movement to the next level.

👉 Paper: https://www.datocms-assets.com/64837/1743890415-olmotrace.pdf

P.S.: A word of caution: never use a chatbot as a knowledge base. It's not Google. Better use it with a connection to the internet.

Hi All, I recently released two Audio datasets which are generated using my earlier released dataset: ajibawa-2023/Children-Stories-Collection

First Audio Dataset:https://huggingface.co/datasets/ajibawa-2023/Audio-Children-Stories-Collection-Large has 5600++ stories in .mp3 format.

Second Audio Dataset:https://huggingface.co/datasets/ajibawa-2023/Audio-Children-Stories-Collection has 600 stories in .mp3 format.

I've created a v1 dataset ( davanstrien/reasoning-required) and model ( davanstrien/ModernBERT-based-Reasoning-Required) to help curate "wild text" data for generating reasoning examples beyond the usual code/math/science domains.

- I developed a "Reasoning Required" dataset with a 0-4 scoring system for reasoning complexity
- I used educational content from HuggingFaceFW/fineweb-edu, adding annotations for domains, reasoning types, and example questions

My approach enables a more efficient workflow: filter text with small models first, then use LLMs only on high-value content.

This significantly reduces computation costs while expanding reasoning dataset domain coverage.

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

See that purple banner on the Llama 4 models? It's Xet storage, and this is actually huge for anyone building with AI models. Let's geek out a little bit 🤓

Current problem: AI models are massive files using Git LFS. But with models getting bigger and downloads exploding, we needed something better.
Xet lets you version large files like code, with compression and deduplication, all Git-compatible. That means less bandwidth, faster sharing, and smoother collaboration.

Real numbers: ~25% deduplication on Llama 4 models, hitting ~40% for finetunes.

Scale matters here - the Hub served 2B model downloads in 30 days, Llama models alone at 60M. The upcoming Llama 4 Behemoth has 2T parameters! Xet's chunk-based system was built exactly for this.

This is the kind of engineering that makes the next wave of large models actually usable. Kudos to the team! 🧨

"Am I going to be replaced by AI?" - Crucial question, but maybe we're asking the wrong one.

📈 There's a statistic from my reads this week that stays with me: Tomer Cohen, LinkedIn's CPO, shares to Jeremy Kahn that 70% of skills used in most jobs will change by 2030. Not jobs disappearing, but transforming. And he calls out bad leadership: "If in one year's time, you are disappointed that your workforce is not 'AI native,' it is your fault."

🔄 Apparently, the Great Recalibration has begun. We're now heading into an era where AI is fundamentally redefining the nature of work itself, by forcing a complete reassessment of human value in the workplace, according to a piece in Fast Company. But it might be driven more by "the need for humans to change the way they work" than AI.

⚡ The Washington Post draws a crucial parallel: We're facing an "AI shock" similar to manufacturing's "China shock" - but hitting knowledge workers. Especially entry-level, white-collar work could get automated. The key difference? "Winning the AI tech competition with other countries won't be enough. It's equally vital to win the battle to re-skill workers."

Digging into these big questions in this week’s AI in the News: https://fdaudens.substack.com/publish/posts/detail/160596301

Also, I'm curious: how are you keeping up with this pace of change? What strategies are working for you?

Did we just drop personalized AI evaluation?! This tool auto-generates custom benchmarks on your docs to test which models are the best.

Most benchmarks test general capabilities, but what matters is how models handle your data and tasks. YourBench helps answer critical questions like:
- Do you really need a hundreds-of-billions-parameter model sledgehammer to crack a nut?
- Could a smaller, fine-tuned model work better?
- How well do different models understand your domain?

Some cool features:
📚 Generates custom benchmarks from your own documents (PDFs, Word, HTML)
🎯 Tests models on real tasks, not just general capabilities
🔄 Supports multiple models for different pipeline stages
🧠 Generate both single-hop and multi-hop questions
🔍 Evaluate top models and deploy leaderboards instantly
💰 Full cost analysis to optimize for your budget
🛠️ Fully configurable via a single YAML file

26 SOTA models tested for question generation. Interesting finding: Qwen2.5 32B leads in question diversity, while smaller Qwen models and Gemini 2.0 Flash offer great value for cost.

You can also run it locally on any models you want.

I'm impressed. Try it out: yourbench/demo

A few new Russian-language synthetic datasets. The labelling is good, but some of the syntax and grammar is not great.

Great for Russian-language classification models, probably not great for fine-tuning Russian-langauge text generation.

- Virtual Assistant Query / Responses: ZennyKenny/ru_virtual_assistant_chatgpt_distill
- LLM Query / Responses: ZennyKenny/russian_llm_response_chatgpt_distill

Crazy how much language drift is still an issue, especially given that Russian constitutes nearly 5% of the content on the internet.

What inspired the Transformer architecture in the "Attention Is All You Need" paper? And how were various ideas combined to create this groundbreaking model?

In this lengthy article, I explore the story and the origins of some of the ideas introduced in the paper. We'll explore everything from the fundamental attention mechanism that lies at its heart to the surprisingly simple explanation for its name, Transformer.

💡 Examples of ideas explored in the article:

✅ What was the inspiration for the attention mechanism?
✅ How did we go from attention to self-attention?
✅ Did the team have any other names in mind for the model?

and more...

I aim to tell the story of Transformers as I would have wanted to read it, and hopefully, one that appeals to others interested in the details of this fascinating idea. This narrative draws from video interviews, lectures, articles, tweets/Xs, and some digging into the literature. I have done my best to be accurate, but errors are possible. If you find inaccuracies or have any additions, please do reach out, and I will gladly make the necessary updates.
