Hey all
Finally it's happening. DeepGit lite is back now, running on cpu only devices. Just smartly search across Github and spin up conversational agents in the background and have grounded conversation with repositories
Try it out now!!!! zamal/DeepGit

In case you missed it, Hugging Face expanded its collaboration with Azure a few weeks ago with a curated catalog of 10,000 models, accessible from Azure AI Foundry and Azure ML!

@alvarobartt cooked during these last days to prepare the one and only documentation you need, if you wanted to deploy Hugging Face models on Azure. It comes with an FAQ, great guides and examples on how to deploy VLMs, LLMs, smolagents and more to come very soon.

We need your feedback: come help us and let us know what else you want to see, which model we should add to the collection, which model task we should prioritize adding, what else we should build a tutorial for. You’re just an issue away on our GitHub repo!

Dataset Viewer for PDFs just landed on Hugging Face 📖🤗 you can now preview all the PDFs easier than before!

on top of this, there's PdfFolder format to load the PDF datasets quicker 💨
> 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 📖

Hackathons in Paris on July 5th and 6th!

Hugging Face just wrapped 4 months of deep work with AMD to push kernel-level optimization on their MI300X GPUs. Now, it's time to share everything we learned.

Join us in Paris at STATION F for a hands-on weekend of workshops and a hackathon focused on making open-source LLMs faster and more efficient on AMD.

Prizes, amazing host speakers, ... if you want more details, navigate to https://lu.ma/fmvdjmur!

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

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 ✋🏻

compare different VLM outputs on a huge variety of inputs (from reasoning to OCR!) 🔥 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 📑)
> Qwen2.5VL-32B is very talkative, great for reasoning but not good for simple tasks 🗣️

#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 🥹

stop writing CUDA kernels yourself

we have launched Kernel Hub: easy optimized kernels for all models on Hugging Face 🔥 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 🤗
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! 🙏🏻
we also welcome kernel contributions by community 🥹💗

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