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! 🤗

Always surprised that so few people actually read the FineTasks blog, on
✨how to select training evals with the highest signal✨
If you're serious about training models without wasting compute on shitty runs, you absolutely should read it!!
An high signal eval actually tells you precisely, during training, how wel & what your model is learning, allowing you to discard the bad runs/bad samplings/...!
The blog covers in depth prompt choice, metrics, dataset, across languages/capabilities, and my fave section is "which properties should evals have"👌
(to know on your use case how to select the best evals for you)

Hi everyone,
I just launched TTS Arena V2 - a platform for benchmarking TTS models by blind A/B testing. The goal is to make it easy to compare quality between open-source and commercial models, including conversational ones.
What's new in V2:
- **Conversational Arena**: Evaluate models like CSM-1B, Dia 1.6B, and PlayDialog in multi-turn settings
- **Personal Leaderboard**: Optional login to see which models you tend to prefer
- **Multi-speaker TTS**: Random voices per generation to reduce speaker bias
- **Performance Upgrade**: Rebuilt from Gradio → Flask. Much faster with fewer failed generations.
- **Keyboard Shortcuts**: Vote entirely via keyboard
Also added models like MegaTTS 3, Cartesia Sonic, and ElevenLabs' full lineup.
I'd love any feedback, feature suggestions, or ideas for models to include.

If you've followed the progress of robotics in the past 18 months, you've likely noticed how robotics is increasingly becoming the next frontier that AI will unlock.
At Hugging Face—in robotics and across all AI fields—we believe in a future where AI and robots are open-source, transparent, and affordable; community-built and safe; hackable and fun. We've had so much mutual understanding and passion working with the Pollen Robotics team over the past year that we decided to join forces!
You can already find our open-source humanoid robot platform Reachy 2 on the Pollen website and the Pollen community and people here on the hub at
pollen-robotics
We're so excited to build and share more open-source robots with the world in the coming months!

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

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

Gemma3 family is out! Reading the tech report, and this section was really interesting to me from a methods/scientific fairness pov.
Instead of doing over-hyped comparisons, they clearly state that **results are reported in a setup which is advantageous to their models**.
(Which everybody does, but people usually don't say)
For a tech report, it makes a lot of sense to report model performance when used optimally!
On leaderboards on the other hand, comparison will be apples to apples, but in a potentially unoptimal way for a given model family (like some user interact sub-optimally with models)
Also contains a cool section (6) on training data memorization rate too! Important to see if your model will output the training data it has seen as such: always an issue for privacy/copyright/... but also very much for evaluation!
Because if your model knows its evals by heart, you're not testing for generalization.

I’m excited to introduce a new leaderboard UI + keyboard shortcuts on the TTS Arena!
The refreshed UI for the leaderboard is smoother and (hopefully) more intuitive. You can now view models based on a simpler win-rate percentage and exclude closed models.
In addition, the TTS Arena now supports keyboard shortcuts. This should make voting much more efficient as you can now vote without clicking anything!
In both the normal Arena and Battle Mode, press "r" to select a random text, Cmd/Ctrl + Enter to synthesize, and "a"/"b" to vote! View more details about keyboard shortcuts by pressing "?" (Shift + /) on the Arena.
Check out all the new updates on the TTS Arena:
