introducing: VLM vibe eval 🪭 visionLMsftw/VLMVibeEval

vision LMs are saturated over benchmarks, so we built vibe eval 💬

> compare different models with refreshed in-the-wild examples in different categories 🤠
> submit your favorite model for eval
no numbers -- just vibes!

🎵 Dream come true for content creators! TIGER AI can extract voice, effects & music from ANY audio file 🤯
This lightweight model uses frequency band-split technology to separate speech like magic. Kudos to @fffiloni for the amazing demo! fffiloni/TIGER-audio-extraction

emerging trend: models that can understand image + text and generate image + text

don't miss out ⤵️
> MMaDA: single 8B diffusion model aligned with CoT (reasoning!) + UniGRPO Gen-Verse/MMaDA
> BAGEL: 7B MoT model based on Qwen2.5, SigLIP-so-400M, Flux VAE ByteDance-Seed/BAGEL
both by ByteDance! 😱

I keep track of all any input → any output models here merve/any-to-any-models-6822042ee8eb7fb5e38f9b62

Just completed the AI Agents course and wow, that capstone project really makes you understand how to build agents that can handle real-world complexity!

The final project uses the GAIA dataset - your agent has to solve tasks like analyzing Excel files, processing audio recordings, answering questions about YouTube videos, and diving into research papers. This isn't toy examples, it's the messy, multimodal stuff agents need to handle in practice.

Whether you’re just getting started with agents or want to go deeper with tools like LangChain, LlamaIndex, and SmolAgents, this course has tons of useful stuff. A few key insights:
- Code agents are incredibly versatile once you get the architecture right
- The sweet spot is finding the right balance of guidance vs autonomy for each use case
- Once the logic clicks, the possibilities really are endless - it's like letting LLMs break free from the chatbox

The course is free and the certification deadline is July 1st, 2025.

The Hugging Face team built something special here. If you're tired of AI that impresses in demos but fails in practice, this is your path to building agents that actually deliver. https://huggingface.co/learn/agents-course/unit0/introduction

Best part? There's the MCP course next!

Two lines in your terminal and you have an AI agent running whatever model and tools you want 🤯

Just tried the new Tiny Agents in Python. Asked it which team won the Italian Serie A soccer league and to export the final table to CSV. Coolest thing is you can interact with the agent, guide it, and correct its mistakes.

The agent connected to web browsing tools, searched for Serie A standings, identified the champion, and generated a CSV export.

The setup:
pip install "huggingface_hub[mcp]>=0.32.0"
tiny-agents run


That's it. The MCP protocol handles all the tool integrations automatically - no custom APIs to write, no complex setups. Want file system access? It's already there. Need web browsing? Built in.

You can swap models, change inference providers, run local models, or add new tools just by editing a simple JSON config. You can also use Gradio Spaces as MCP servers! The entire agent is ~70 lines of Python - essentially a while loop that streams responses and executes tools. Everything is open-source. ❤️ Hugging Face

Here’s what happens when a national institution builds its own digital intelligence: France’s Ministry of Culture just released 17K+ real users testing 30+ chatbots in French. Raw, diverse, and a goldmine for studying LLMs in the wild.

hey hey @mradermacher - VB from Hugging Face here, we'd love to onboard you over to our optimised xet backend! 💥

as you know we're in the process of upgrading our storage backend to xet (which helps us scale and offer blazingly fast upload/ download speeds too): https://huggingface.co/blog/xet-on-the-hub and now that we are certain that the backend can scale with even big models like Llama 4/ Qwen 3 - we;re moving to the next phase of inviting impactful orgs and users on the hub over as you are a big part of the open source ML community - we would love to onboard you next and create some excitement about it in the community too!

in terms of actual steps - it should be as simple as one of the org admins to join hf.co/join/xet - we'll take care of the rest.

p.s. you'd need to have a the latest hf_xet version of huggingface_hub lib but everything else should be the same: https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/storage-backends#using-xet-storage

p.p.s. this is fully backwards compatible so everything will work as it should! 🤗

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.
