Coming back to Paris Friday to open our new Hugging Face office!

We're at capacity for the party but add your name in the waiting list as we're trying to privatize the passage du Caire for extra space for robots 🤖🦾🦿

In the past seven days, the Diffusers team has shipped:

1. Two new video models
2. One new image model
3. Two new quantization backends
4. Three new fine-tuning scripts
5. Multiple fixes and library QoL improvements

Coffee on me if someone can guess 1 - 4 correctly.

📈👀 Just dropped: visualization mapping Hugging Face's most liked & downloaded models from 2022 to now. Small models are clearly on the rise - fascinating shift in both likes and download patterns.

🇫🇷 Lancement officiel de l'OpenLLM French Leaderboard : initiative open-source pour référencer l’évaluation des LLMs francophones

Après beaucoup d’efforts et de sueurs avec Alexandre Lavallee, nous sommes ravis d’annoncer que le OpenLLMFrenchLeaderboard est en ligne sur Hugging Face (space url: le-leadboard/OpenLLMFrenchLeaderboard) la toute première plateforme dédiée à l’évaluation des grands modèles de langage (LLM) en français. 🇫🇷✨

Ce projet de longue haleine est avant tout une œuvre de passion mais surtout une nécessité absolue. Il devient urgent et vital d'oeuvrer à plus de transparence dans ce domaine stratégique des LLM dits multilingues. La première pièce à l'édifice est donc la mise en place d'une évaluation systématique et systémique des modèles actuels et futurs.

Votre modèle IA français est-il prêt à se démarquer ? Soumettez le dans notre espace, et voyez comment vous vous comparez par rapport aux autres modèles.

❓ Comment ça marche :
Soumettez votre LLM français pour évaluation, et nous le testerons sur des benchmarks de référence spécifiquement adaptés pour la langue française — notre suite de benchmarks comprend :

- BBH-fr : Raisonnement complexe
- IFEval-fr : Suivi d'instructions
- GPQA-fr : Connaissances avancées
- MUSR-fr : Raisonnement narratif
- MATH_LVL5-fr : Capacités mathématiques
- MMMLU-fr : Compréhension multitâche

Le processus est encore manuel, mais nous travaillons sur son automatisation, avec le soutien de la communauté Hugging Face.

@clem , on se prépare pour une mise à niveau de l’espace ? 😏👀

Ce n'est pas qu'une question de chiffres—il s'agit de créer une IA qui reflète vraiment notre langue, notre culture et nos valeurs. OpenLLMFrenchLeaderboard est notre contribution personnelle pour façonner l'avenir des LLM en France.

Six predictions for AI in 2025 (and a review of how my 2024 predictions turned out):

- There will be the first major public protest related to AI
- A big company will see its market cap divided by two or more because of AI
- At least 100,000 personal AI robots will be pre-ordered
- China will start to lead the AI race (as a consequence of leading the open-source AI race).
- There will be big breakthroughs in AI for biology and chemistry.
- We will begin to see the economic and employment growth potential of AI, with 15M AI builders on Hugging Face.

How my predictions for 2024 turned out:

- A hyped AI company will go bankrupt or get acquired for a ridiculously low price
✅ (Inflexion, AdeptAI,...)

- Open-source LLMs will reach the level of the best closed-source LLMs
✅ with QwQ and dozens of others

- Big breakthroughs in AI for video, time-series, biology and chemistry
✅ for video 🔴for time-series, biology and chemistry

- We will talk much more about the cost (monetary and environmental) of AI
✅Monetary 🔴Environmental (😢)

- A popular media will be mostly AI-generated
✅ with NotebookLM by Google

- 10 millions AI builders on Hugging Face leading to no increase of unemployment
🔜currently 7M of AI builders on Hugging Face

🔥 Dataset Drop - Open Image Preferences

BlackForest Labs Flux Dev VS. Stability AI Stable Diffusion Large 3.5

Together with the ⁠data-is-better-together community, we've worked on an Apache 2.0 licensed open image preference dataset based on the fal ai imgsys prompts dataset. Thanks to the awesome community, we have managed to get 5K preference pairs in less than 2 days. The annotation alignment among annotators is great too.

Aashish Kumar won a month of Hugging Face Pro by making the most contributions! Congrats from the entire team 🥇

The best thing?! We are not done yet! Let's keep the annotations coming for 5K more in the second part of the sprint! (with more prices to go around).

SmolVLM speeding locally on a laptop thanks to mlx-vlm and
@Gradio ! Try it with two lines:
pip install git+https://github.com/andimarafioti/mlx-vlm.git@stream-generate-fix
python -m mlx_vlm.chat_ui --model mlx-community/SmolVLM-Instruct-8bit

Gotta love the MLX community! Big thanks to @pcuenq and @prince_canuma !

Let's go! We are releasing SmolVLM, a smol 2B VLM built for on-device inference that outperforms all models at similar GPU RAM usage and tokens throughputs.

- SmolVLM generates tokens 7.5 to 16 times faster than Qwen2-VL! 🤯
- Other models at this size crash a laptop, but SmolVLM comfortably generates 17 tokens/sec on a macbook! 🚀
- SmolVLM can be fine-tuned on a Google collab! Or process millions of documents with a consumer GPU!
- SmolVLM even outperforms larger models in video benchmarks, despite not even being trained on videos!

Check out more!

The authors of ColPali trained a retrieval model based on SmolVLM 🤠 vidore/colsmolvlm-alpha
TLDR;

- ColSmolVLM performs better than ColPali and DSE-Qwen2 on all English tasks

- ColSmolVLM is more memory efficient than ColQwen2 💗

@victor @not-lain There has been a sudden and unusual outbreak of spam postings on the HF Forum that seem to be aimed at relaying online videos and commenting on them. It is also spanning multiple languages for some reason. I've flagged it too, but I'm not sure if the staff will be able to keep up with the manual measures in the future.

I was reading through an abstract and found myself wondering how much LLM performance is being left on the table due to insufficient curation of training datasets: "Instruct-SkillMix: A Powerful Pipeline for LLM Instruction Tuning" by Kaur, Park, Goyal, Arora.
https://arxiv.org/abs/2408.14774
In particular, the observation that "Introducing low quality answers ("shirkers") in 20% of Instruct-SkillMix examples causes performance to plummet..." had me wondering how many ostensibly good datasets out there are in fact populated with a significant number of "shirkers".

I am experimenting with Flux and trying to push it to its limits without training (as I am GPU-poor 😅).
I found some flaws in the pipelines, which I resolved, and now I am able to generate an approx similar quality image as Flux Schnell 4 steps in just 1 step.
