Dataset Viewer for PDFs just landed on Hugging Face πŸ“–πŸ€— you can now preview all the PDFs easier than before!

on top of this, there's PdfFolder format to load the PDF datasets quicker πŸ’¨
> to use it, your dataset should follow a directory format like folder/train/doc1.pdf, folder/train/doc1.pdf
> if you want to include bounding boxes, labels etc. you can keep them in a metadata.csv file in the same folder 🀝

read document dataset docs https://huggingface.co/docs/datasets/main/en/document_dataset
check all the document datasets here https://huggingface.co/datasets?modality=modality:document&sort=trending πŸ“–

we've merged LightGlue keypoint matcher to Hugging Face transformers! it allows commercial use when paired with an open-source keypoint detector πŸ™πŸ»

it works very well, try it yourself: ETH-CVG/LightGlue

here's an in-the-wild test with two images of the same place ‡️

stop using VLMs blindly βœ‹πŸ»

compare different VLM outputs on a huge variety of inputs (from reasoning to OCR!) πŸ”₯ visionLMsftw/comparevlms

> has support for multiple VLMs: google/gemma-3-27b-it, Qwen/Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct, Qwen/Qwen2.5-VL-32B-Instruct, meta-llama/Llama-4-Maverick-17B-128E-Instruct, HuggingFaceTB/SmolVLM2-2.2B-Instruct
> recommend us new models or inputs, we'll add 🫑

so far I figured out
> for fact-checks, you need a relatively bigger size (7B is ok!)
> Gemma 3 gets downgrade without pan and scan (especially for πŸ“‘)
> Qwen2.5VL-32B is very talkative, great for reasoning but not good for simple tasks πŸ—£οΈ

#CVPR2025 Paper Picks #1
VisionZip is a compression technique that reduces number of visual tokens to improve performance AND prefill time for vision language models
demo: Senqiao/VisionZip
paper: VisionZip: Longer is Better but Not Necessary in Vision Language Models (2412.04467)
most of the image tokens are redundant for the LLM, so the authors ask "are all visual tokens necessary?"

the method is simple:
find which tokens have the highest attention score, merge rest of the tokens based on similarity, then merge both

their method is both training-free and for fine-tuning
the authors report 5 point improvement on average of vision language tasks + 8x improvement in prefilling time for Llava-Next 7B and 13B 🀯

removing redundant tokens improve image token quality too πŸ₯Ή

stop writing CUDA kernels yourself

we have launched Kernel Hub: easy optimized kernels for all models on Hugging Face πŸ”₯ use them right away!
it's where the community populates optimized kernels 🀝

this release comes in three parts
> Kernel Hub: contains (as of now) 14 kernels
> kernels: Python library to load kernels from Kernel Hub
> kernel-builder: Nix package to build kernels for PyTorch (made using PyTorch C++ frontend)

when building models, your regular workflow should be pulling kernels from Hub and building your model with them πŸ€—
here's a practical example with RMSNorm:
1. pull the kernel from Hub with get_kernel
2. decorate with use_kernel_forward_from_hub
3. inject it to your model
we'd love to hear your feedback! πŸ™πŸ»
we also welcome kernel contributions by community πŸ₯ΉπŸ’—

- request kernels here: kernels-community/README#1
- check out this org: kernels-community
- read the blog: https://huggingface.co/blog/hello-hf-kernels

Dolphin: new OCR model by ByteDance with MIT license 🐬

the model first detects element in the layout (table, formula etc) and then parses each element in parallel for generation
Model: ByteDance/Dolphin
Try the demo: ByteDance/Dolphin

stop building parser pipelines πŸ‘‹πŸ»
there's a new document parser that is small, fast, Apache 2.0 licensed and is better than all the other ones! 😱

echo840/MonkeyOCR is a 3B model that can parse everything (charts, formules, tables etc) in a document 🀠
> the authors show in the paper that document parsing pipelines often have errors propagating back
> using singular e2e models are better but they're too heavy to use

this model addresses both: it's lighter, faster, stronger πŸ”₯
