The new DeepSite space is really insane for vibe-coders
enzostvs/deepsite
With the wave of vibe-coding-optimized LLMs like the latest open-source DeepSeek model (version V3-0324), you can basically prompt out-of-the-box and create any app and game in one-shot.
It feels so powerful to me, no more complex framework or under-the-hood prompt engineering to have a working text-to-app tool.
AI is eating the world and *open-source* AI is eating AI itself!
PS: and even more meta is that the DeepSite app and DeepSeek model are both fully open-source code => time to start recursively improve?
PPS: you still need some inference hosting unless you're running the 600B param model at home, so check the very nice list of HF Inference Providers for this model: deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3-0324

NEW UNIT in the Hugging Face Reasoning course. We dive deep into the algorithm behind DeepSeek R1 with an advanced and hands-on guide to interpreting GRPO.
🔗
reasoning-course
This unit is super useful if you’re tuning models with reinforcement learning. It will help with:
- interpreting loss and reward progression during training runs
- selecting effective parameters for training
- reviewing and defining effective reward functions
This unit also works up smoothly toward the existing practical exercises form @mlabonne and Unsloth.
📣 Shout out to @ShirinYamani who wrote the unit. Follow for more great content.

The Hugging Face Agents Course now includes three major agent frameworks!
🔗
agents-course
This includes LlamaIndex, LangChain, and our very own smolagents. We've worked to integrate the three frameworks in distinctive ways so that learners can reflect on when and where to use each.
This also means that you can follow the course if you're already familiar with one of these frameworks, and soak up some of the fundamental knowledge in earlier units.
Hopefully, this makes the agents course as open to as many people as possible.

✂️ AutoAbliteration
I made a Colab notebook to automatically abliterate models.
It's quite general, so you can do interesting stuff like blocking a given language in the model outputs.

✂️ Gemma 3 Abliterated
I noticed that Gemma 3 was much more resilient to refusal removal than other models like Qwen 2.5.
I experimented with different recipes and improved the abliteration technique I wrote about last year.
It's still experimental but the refusal rate is super low in my tests. Enjoy!

The open LLM leaderboard is completed, retired, dead, ‘ascended to a higher plane’. And in its shadow we have an amazing range of leaderboards built and maintained by the community.
In this post, I just want to list some of those great leaderboards that you should bookmark for staying up to date:
- Chatbot Arena LLM Leaderboard is the first port of call for checking out the best model. It’s not the fastest because humans will need to use the models to get scores, but it’s worth the wait. lmarena-ai/chatbot-arena-leaderboard
- OpenVLM Leaderboard is great for getting scores on vision language models opencompass/open_vlm_leaderboard
- Ai2 are doing a great job on RewardBench and I hope they keep it up because reward models are the unsexy workhorse of the field. allenai/reward-bench
- The GAIA leaderboard is great for evaluating agent applications. gaia-benchmark/leaderboard
🤩 This seems like such a sustainable way of building for the long term, where rather than leaning on a single company to evaluate all LLMs, we share the load.

Still speed running Gemma 3 to think. Today I focused on setting up gpu poor hardware to run GRPO.
This is a plain TRL and PEFT notebook which works on mac silicone or colab T4. This uses the 1b variant of Gemma 3 and a reasoning version of GSM8K dataset.
🧑🍳 There’s more still in the oven like releasing models, an Unsloth version, and deeper tutorials, but hopefully this should bootstrap your projects.
Here’s a link to the 1b notebook: https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1mwCy5GQb9xJFSuwt2L_We3eKkVbx2qSt?usp=sharing

everybody and their dog is fine-tuning Gemma 3 today, so I thought I'd do a longer post on the tips and sharp edges I find. let's go!
1. has to be install everything form main and nightly. this is what I'm working with to get unsloth and TRL running
plus this with
2. will brown's code to turn GSM8k into a reasoning dataset is a nice toy experiment https://gist.github.com/willccbb/4676755236bb08cab5f4e54a0475d6fb
3. with a learning rate of 5e-6 rewards and loss stayed flat for the first 100 or so steps.
4. so far none of my runs have undermined the outputs after 1 epoch. therefore, I'm mainly experimenting with bigger LoRA adapters.
5. vision fine-tuning isn't available in TRL's GRPOTrainer, so stick to text datasets. but no need to load the model differently in transformers or Unsloth
if you want an introduction to GRPO, check out the reasoning course, it walks you through the algorithm, theory, and implementation in a smooth way.

Here’s a notebook to make Gemma reason with GRPO & TRL. I made this whilst prepping the next unit of the reasoning course:
In this notebooks I combine together google’s model with some community tooling
- First, I load the model from the Hugging Face hub with transformers’s latest release for Gemma 3
- I use PEFT and bitsandbytes to get it running on Colab
- Then, I took Will Browns processing and reward functions to make reasoning chains from GSM8k
- Finally, I used TRL’s GRPOTrainer to train the model
Next step is to bring Unsloth AI in, then ship it in the reasoning course. Links to notebook below.

We've kept pushing our Open-R1 project, an open initiative to replicate and extend the techniques behind DeepSeek-R1.
And even we were mind-blown by the results we got with this latest model we're releasing: ⚡️OlympicCoder ( open-r1/OlympicCoder-7B and open-r1/OlympicCoder-32B)
It's beating Claude 3.7 on (competitive) programming –a domain Anthropic has been historically really strong at– and it's getting close to o1-mini/R1 on olympiad level coding with just 7B parameters!
And the best part is that we're open-sourcing all about its training dataset, the new IOI benchmark, and more in our Open-R1 progress report #3: https://huggingface.co/blog/open-r1/update-3
Datasets are are releasing:
- open-r1/codeforces
- open-r1/codeforces-cots
- open-r1/ioi
- open-r1/ioi-test-cases
- open-r1/ioi-sample-solutions
- open-r1/ioi-cots
- open-r1/ioi-2024-model-solutions

I’m super excited to work with
@mlabonne
to build the first practical example in the reasoning course.
🔗
reasoning-course
Here's a quick walk through of the first drop of material that works toward the use case:
- a fundamental introduction to reinforcement learning. Answering questions like, ‘what is a reward?’ and ‘how do we create an environment for a language model?’
- Then it focuses on Deepseek R1 by walking through the paper and highlighting key aspects. This is an old school way to learn ML topics, but it always works.
- Next, it takes to you Transformers Reinforcement Learning and demonstrates potential reward functions you could use. This is cool because it uses Marimo notebooks to visualise the reward.
- Finally, Maxime walks us through a real training notebook that uses GRPO to reduce generation length. I’m really into this because it works and Maxime took the time to validate it share assets and logging from his own runs for you to compare with.
Maxime’s work and notebooks have been a major part of the open source community over the last few years. I, like everyone, have learnt so much from them.

Now the Hugging Face agent course is getting real! With frameworks like smolagents, LlamaIndex, and LangChain.
🔗 Follow the org for updates
agents-course
This week we are releasing the first framework unit in the course and it’s on smolagents. This is what the unit covers:
- why should you use smolagents vs another library?
- how to build agents that use code
- build multiagents systems
- use vision language models for browser use
The team has been working flat out on this for a few weeks. Led by @sergiopaniego and supported by smolagents author @m-ric .

AGENTS + FINETUNING! This week Hugging Face learn has a whole pathway on finetuning for agentic applications. You can follow these two courses to get knowledge on levelling up your agent game beyond prompts:
1️⃣ New Supervised Fine-tuning unit in the NLP Course https://huggingface.co/learn/nlp-course/en/chapter11/1
2️⃣New Finetuning for agents bonus module in the Agents Course https://huggingface.co/learn/agents-course/bonus-unit1/introduction
Fine-tuning will squeeze everything out of your model for how you’re using it, more than any prompt.

Hey, I’m Ben and I work at Hugging Face.
Right now, I’m focusing on educational stuff and getting loads of new people to build open AI models using free and open source tools.
I’ve made a collection of some of the tools I’m building and using for teaching. Stuff like quizzes, code challenges, and certificates.
