Hey! I built an AI Agent to query the FOIA API for a workshop at the Hacks/Hackers Summit in Baltimore and you can do it too!

It’s a quick proof of concept to demo what agents can do, how to design workflows, and how to approach the coding side. TWant a fun project to learn how AI agents work? I built one that queries the FOIA API — and you can too!

It's a quick proof of concept I did for a workshop at the Hacks/Hackers Summit in Baltimore, demonstrating what agents can do, how to design workflows, and approaches to coding them.

- Slides https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1lbf5K0yi213N7uxGnVKJdGWq2i0GayWj4vIcLkVlwD8/edit?usp=sharing
- Colab notebook https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1iw0qZyTni_6BcK0jj1x6gTfjm85NlaGv
- Gradio app: https://huggingface.co/spaces/JournalistsonHF/foia-agent
- MCP version to plug into Claude, Cursor, etc: https://huggingface.co/spaces/JournalistsonHF/foia-mcp-tools

Feel free to use the Gradio app for real FOIA requests, but also to improve it (I'm far from being a good coder) or adapt it for other countries.

And shout-out to everyone who powered through the workshop! 😅

𝗔𝗯𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗲 𝗭𝗲𝗿𝗼: 𝗟𝗟𝗠𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮 🤯

Has the "data wall" just been breached?

Recent RL paradigms often relied on a set of questions an answers that needs to be manually curated. Researchers from Tsinghua University went like "why though".

🤔 Indeed, why learn from question designed by a human teacher, when the model can start from their base knowledge and learn by experimenting in a code environment, proposing coding tasks themselves and trying to solve them?

Thus they created “Absolute Zero Reasoning” (AZR), an approach that removes any need for human curated data.

🎭 𝗗𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗲𝘀:
‣ Proposer: Generates challenging but solvable coding tasks
‣ Solver: Attempts to solve those self-proposed tasks

🧪 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝘁𝗮𝘀𝗸 𝘁𝘆𝗽𝗲𝘀: all types are defined as triplets of program, input and output
‣ Deduction: Give model an input and program, it must deduce the output
‣ Abduction: Give model an program and output, it must find the input that gave said output
‣ Induction: Synthesize a program from input/output pairs
Btw this reminded me of my long-forgotten philosophy classes: Aristotle was more on the induction side, learning from real-world analogies, while Plato was more on the deduction side, trying to progress quite far with just one input and his reasoning.

📊 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘀:
‣ AZR post-training creates a nice improvement on known models like Qwen2.5-7B
‣ Shows strong cross-domain transfer: coding ↔️ math reasoning

🧐 𝗢𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀:
‣ Having a better base performance (general or code specific) amplify the gains from Absolute Zero Reasoning
‣ Researchers warn about "Uh-oh moments" (winking to the "aha moments" of DeepSeek) where the model generates concerning goals like "make an extremely convoluted code to outsmart all these humans": so supervision is still needed!

Lumier – Run macOS & Linux VMs in a Docker

Lumier is an open-source tool for running macOS virtual machines in Docker containers on Apple Silicon Macs.

When building virtualized environments for AI agents, we needed a reliable way to package and distribute macOS VMs. Inspired by projects like dockur/macos that made macOS running in Docker possible, we wanted to create something similar but optimized for Apple Silicon.

The existing solutions either didn't support M-series chips or relied on KVM/Intel emulation, which was slow and cumbersome. We realized we could leverage Apple's Virtualization Framework to create a much better experience.

Lumier takes a different approach: It uses Docker as a delivery mechanism (not for isolation) and connects to a lightweight virtualization service (lume) running on your Mac.

Lumier is 100% open-source under MIT license and part of C/ua.

Tried something new: an AI-generated podcast that breaks down the top research paper each day. Fully automated, now live on Spotify.

I built this prototype to help keep up with the rapid pace of AI developments and, hopefully, make cutting-edge research more accessible. I don’t know about you, but just listening to a conversation about a paper really helps the content sink in for me.

This build taught me a lot about full automation. If you’re into the technical weeds: Qwen3 runs on Inference to handle the script, Kokoro does the voice, and the whole thing gets published automatically thanks to the Hugging Face Jobs API and Gradio deployment.

It’s not perfect yet — I’ll be monitoring for hallucinations and incoherence. The voice model still needs polish, but it’s a promising start. Would love to build this with the community — submit a PR or send feedback. It’s just a beta of an experimental idea!

Big kudos to @m-ric , whose Open NotebookLM this is based on, and to @nielsr for his terrific work making research papers more accessible.

An assembly of 18 European companies, labs, and universities have banded together to launch 🇪🇺 EuroBERT! It's a state-of-the-art multilingual encoder for 15 European languages, designed to be finetuned for retrieval, classification, etc.

🇪🇺 15 Languages: English, French, German, Spanish, Chinese, Italian, Russian, Polish, Portuguese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Dutch, Arabic, Turkish, Hindi
3️⃣ 3 model sizes: 210M, 610M, and 2.1B parameters - very very useful sizes in my opinion
➡️ Sequence length of 8192 tokens! Nice to see these higher sequence lengths for encoders becoming more common.
⚙️ Architecture based on Llama, but with bi-directional (non-causal) attention to turn it into an encoder. Flash Attention 2 is supported.
🔥 A new Pareto frontier (stronger *and* smaller) for multilingual encoder models
📊 Evaluated against mDeBERTa, mGTE, XLM-RoBERTa for Retrieval, Classification, and Regression (after finetuning for each task separately): EuroBERT punches way above its weight.
📝 Detailed paper with all details, incl. data: FineWeb for English and CulturaX for multilingual data, The Stack v2 and Proof-Pile-2 for code.

Check out the release blogpost here: https://huggingface.co/blog/EuroBERT/release
* EuroBERT/EuroBERT-210m
* EuroBERT/EuroBERT-610m
* EuroBERT/EuroBERT-2.1B

The next step is for researchers to build upon the 3 EuroBERT base models and publish strong retrieval, zero-shot classification, etc. models for all to use. I'm very much looking forward to it!

Is this the best tool to extract clean info from PDFs, handwriting and complex documents yet?

Open source olmOCR just dropped and the results are impressive.

Tested the free demo with various documents, including a handwritten Claes Oldenburg letter. The speed is impressive: 3000 tokens/second on your own GPU - that's 1/32 the cost of GPT-4o ($190/million pages). Game-changer for content extraction and digital archives.

To achieve this, Ai2 trained a 7B vision language model on 260K pages from 100K PDFs using "document anchoring" - combining PDF metadata with page images.

Best part: it actually understands document structure (columns, tables, equations) instead of just jumbling everything together like most OCR tools. Their human eval results back this up.

👉 Try the demo: https://olmocr.allenai.org

Let’s make a generation of amazing image-generation models

The best image generation models are trained on human preference datasets, where annotators have selected the best image from a choice of two. Unfortunately, many of these datasets are closed source so the community cannot train open models on them. Let’s change that!

The community can contribute image preferences for an open-source dataset that could be used for building AI models that convert text to image, like the flux or stable diffusion families. The dataset will be open source so everyone can use it to train models that we can all use.
