๐ซ...And we're live!๐ซ Seasonal newsletter from ethicsy folks at Hugging Face, exploring the ethics of "AI Agents" https://huggingface.co/blog/ethics-soc-7 Our analyses found: - There's a spectrum of "agent"-ness - *Safety* is a key issue, leading to many other value-based concerns Read for details & what to do next! With @evijit , @giadap , and @sasha
๐ค๐ค ๐ป Speaking of AI agents ... ...Is easier with the right words ;)
My colleagues @meg@evijit@sasha and @giadap just published a wonderful blog post outlining some of the main relevant notions with their signature blend of value-informed and risk-benefits contrasting approach. Go have a read!
The paper has a lot of experiments (they trained 84 models!) about what makes the video LMs work โฏ๏ธ
Try the demo for best setup here https://huggingface.co/spaces/Apollo-LMMs/Apollo-3B they evaluate sampling strategies, scaling laws for models and datasets, video representation and more! > The authors find out that whatever design decision was applied to small models also scale properly when the model and dataset are scaled ๐ scaling dataset has diminishing returns for smaller models > They evaluate frame sampling strategies, and find that FPS sampling is better than uniform sampling, and they find 8-32 tokens per frame optimal > They also compare image encoders, they try a variation of models from shape optimized SigLIP to DINOv2 they find google/siglip-so400m-patch14-384 to be most powerful ๐ฅ > they also compare freezing different parts of models, training all stages with some frozen parts give the best yield
They eventually release three models, where Apollo-3B outperforms most 7B models and Apollo 7B outperforms 30B models ๐ฅ

Did a fun experiment: What are the main themes emerging from the 100+ Nieman Journalism Lab predictions for 2025?
I used natural language processing to cluster and map them โ really helps spot patterns that weren't obvious when reading predictions one by one. So what will shape journalism next year? A lot of AI and US politics (surprise!), but there's also this horizontal axis that spans from industry strategies to deep reflections on how to talk to the public.
Click any dot to explore the original prediction. What themes surprise/interest you the most?
