They have an image tokenizer unified with text, and they de-tokenize using either of two models (LLM and diffusion) The model is actually a full LLM (Qwen2), the tokenizer converts image tokens 🤯
YAML engineering becomes more and more important than ever from infra provisioning to model training (recipes).
Here, I built a simple editor first for @dstackai, and I will share the live endpoint this week. Let me know what you think about this approach.
Based on this approach, if people think this is useful, I am going to do the same thing for the LLM training recipes for popular frameworks such as Hugging Face open-r1, Axolotl, and so on. Let me hear.
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 🤝
🖼️ VLMs/OCR > moonshotai/Kimi-VL-A3B-Thinking-2506 is a powerful reasoning vision LM, 3B active params, smarter with less tokens, supports long documents, videos 👏 (OS) > nanonets/Nanonets-OCR-s is 3.75B params OCR model based on Qwen2.5VL-3B-Instruct (OS)
🗣️ Audio > Google released google/magenta-realtime, real time music generation & audio synthesis (cc-by-4) > kyutai released new speech-to-text models that come in 1B & 2B (kyutai/stt-1b-en_fr, stt-2b-en_fr) with 0.5s and 2.5s delay
y'all have been asking my opinion on how OCR models compare to each other 👀 I will leave three apps to compare newest models by @prithivMLmods instead ⤵️ > compare Nanonets-OCR-s, Qwen2-VL-OCR-2B-Instruct, RolmOCR, Aya-Vision prithivMLmods/Multimodal-OCR > SmolDocling, Nanonets-OCR-s, MonkeyOCR, Typhoon-OCR-7B prithivMLmods/Multimodal-OCR2 > docscopeOCR, MonkeyOCR, coreOCR prithivMLmods/core-OCR
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 🗣️
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 🥹
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 🥹💗
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
