I’m super excited to work with @mlabonne to build the first practical example in the reasoning course.

🔗 https://huggingface.co/reasoning-course

Here's a quick walk through of the first drop of material that works toward the use case:

- a fundamental introduction to reinforcement learning. Answering questions like, ‘what is a reward?’ and ‘how do we create an environment for a language model?’

- Then it focuses on Deepseek R1 by walking through the paper and highlighting key aspects. This is an old school way to learn ML topics, but it always works.

- Next, it takes to you Transformers Reinforcement Learning and demonstrates potential reward functions you could use. This is cool because it uses Marimo notebooks to visualise the reward.

- Finally, Maxime walks us through a real training notebook that uses GRPO to reduce generation length. I’m really into this because it works and Maxime took the time to validate it share assets and logging from his own runs for you to compare with.

Maxime’s work and notebooks have been a major part of the open source community over the last few years. I, like everyone, have learnt so much from them.

🥊 Epic Agent Framework Showdown! Available today!

🔵 In the blue corner, the versatile challenger with a proven track record of knowledge retrieval: LlamaIndex!

🛑 In the red corner, the defender, weighing in with lightweight efficiency: Hugging Face smolagents!

🔗 URL: https://huggingface.co/agents-course

We just published the LlamaIndex unit for the agents course, and it is set to offer a great contrast between the smolagents unit by looking at

- What makes llama-index stand-out
- How the LlamaHub is used for integrations
- Creating QueryEngine components
- Using agents and tools
- Agentic and multi-agent workflows

The team has been working flat-out on this for a few weeks. Supported by Logan Markewich and Laurie Voss over at LlamaIndex.

Who won? You decide!

📊 Introducing "Hugging Face Dataset Spotlight" 📊

I'm excited to share the first episode of our AI-generated podcast series focusing on nice datasets from the Hugging Face Hub!

This first episode explores mathematical reasoning datasets:

- SynthLabsAI/Big-Math-RL-Verified: Over 250,000 rigorously verified problems spanning multiple difficulty levels and mathematical domains
- open-r1/OpenR1-Math-220k: 220,000 math problems with multiple reasoning traces, verified for accuracy using Math Verify and Llama-3.3-70B models.
- facebook/natural_reasoning: 1.1 million general reasoning questions carefully deduplicated and decontaminated from existing benchmarks, showing superior scaling effects when training models like Llama3.1-8B-Instruct.

Plus a bonus segment on bespokelabs/bespoke-manim!

Quick POC: Turn a Hugging Face dataset card into a short podcast introducing the dataset using all open models.

I think I'm the only weirdo who would enjoy listening to something like this though 😅

Here is an example for eth-nlped/stepverify

Now the Hugging Face agent course is getting real! With frameworks like smolagents, LlamaIndex, and LangChain.

🔗 Follow the org for updates https://huggingface.co/agents-course

This week we are releasing the first framework unit in the course and it’s on smolagents. This is what the unit covers:

- why should you use smolagents vs another library?
- how to build agents that use code
- build multiagents systems
- use vision language models for browser use

The team has been working flat out on this for a few weeks. Led by @sergiopaniego and supported by smolagents author @m-ric .

🔥 Agents can do anything! @microsoft Research just announced the release of Magma 8B!

Magma is a new Visual Language Model (VLM) with 8B parameters for multi-modal agents designed to handle complex interactions across virtual and real environments; and it's MIT licensed!

Magma comes with exciting new features such as:
- Introduces the Set-of-Mark and Trace-of-Mark techniques for fine-tuning
- Leverages a large amount of unlabeled video data to learn the spatial-temporal grounding and planning
- A strong generalization and ability to be fine-tuned for other agentic tasks
- SOTA in different multi-modal benchmarks spanning across UI navigation, robotics manipulation, image / video understanding and spatial understanding and reasoning
- Generates goal-driven visual plans and actions for agentic use cases

Model: microsoft/Magma-8B
Technical Report: Magma: A Foundation Model for Multimodal AI Agents (2502.13130)

Hacked together a way to log trl GRPO training completions to a 🤗 dataset repo. This allows you to:

- Track rewards from multiple reward functions
- Treat the completion and rewards from training as a "proper" dataset and do EDA
- Share results for open science

The implementation is super hacky, but I'm curious if people would find this useful.

To push completions to the Hub, you just need two extra parameters:

log_completions=True
log_completions_hub_repo='your-username/repo-name'

Example dataset: davanstrien/test-logs
Colab: https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1wzBFPVthRYYTp-mEYlznLg_e_0Za1M3g

AGENTS + FINETUNING! This week Hugging Face learn has a whole pathway on finetuning for agentic applications. You can follow these two courses to get knowledge on levelling up your agent game beyond prompts:

1️⃣ New Supervised Fine-tuning unit in the NLP Course https://huggingface.co/learn/nlp-course/en/chapter11/1
2️⃣New Finetuning for agents bonus module in the Agents Course https://huggingface.co/learn/agents-course/bonus-unit1/introduction

Fine-tuning will squeeze everything out of your model for how you’re using it, more than any prompt.

Inference-time scaling meets Flux.1-Dev (and others) 🔥

Presenting a simple re-implementation of "Inference-time scaling diffusion models beyond denoising steps" by Ma et al.

I did the simplest random search strategy, but results can potentially be improved with better-guided search methods.

Supports Gemini 2 Flash & Qwen2.5 as verifiers for "LLMGrading" 🤗

The steps are simple:

For each round:

1> Starting by sampling 2 starting noises with different seeds.
2> Score the generations w.r.t a metric.
3> Obtain the best generation from the current round.

If you have more compute budget, go to the next search round. Scale the noise pool (2 ** search_round) and repeat 1 - 3.

This constitutes the random search method as done in the paper by Google DeepMind.

Code, more results, and a bunch of other stuff are in the repository. Check it out here: https://github.com/sayakpaul/tt-scale-flux/ 🤗

How do you make 1M+ Hugging Face models & datasets more discoverable?

davanstrien/Smol-Hub-tldr!

I fine-tuned HuggingFaceTB/SmolLM2-360M to generate one-line summaries from a model or dataset README.

Its own self-description?
"A model for generating concise summaries of model & dataset cards from the Hugging Face Hub"

The goal? Make it easier to find the right models and datasets for your specific needs. It's already powering a semantic search for datasets Space.

It's still a WIP but thanks to @loubnabnl , @anton-l , @eliebak et al, for cooking such a nice base model for fine-tuning small, efficient models for specific domains and tasks. 🙏

Hey, I’m Ben and I work at Hugging Face.

Right now, I’m focusing on educational stuff and getting loads of new people to build open AI models using free and open source tools.

I’ve made a collection of some of the tools I’m building and using for teaching. Stuff like quizzes, code challenges, and certificates.
