People are flexing their end of year stats, so I made this app to show @hf.co hub stats in a tidy design!

Thanks @jfcalvo.hf.co and @ameeelie.bsky.social for the feature!

Just 10 days after o1's public debut, we’re thrilled to unveil the open-source version of the technique behind its success: scaling test-time compute

By giving models more "time to think," Llama 1B outperforms Llama 8B in math—beating a model 8x its size. The full recipe is open-source!

Excited to see more biology open-source models for real positive use-cases of AI!

Chai does structure predictions at AlphaFold3 levels of accuracy and able to handle multi-peptide or peptide-ligand complexes rather than just single chains.

Let's make AI more inclusive.

At @huggingface.bsky.social we'll launch a huge community sprint soon to build high-quality training datasets for many languages.

We're looking for Language Leads to help with outreach.

Find your language and nominate yourself:

I would put this even more strongly: open source AI is probably our only realistic chance to avoid a terrifying increase in concentration of power. I do not want to live in a world where the people with all the money also have all the intellectual power.
The most realistic reason to be pro open source AI is to reduce concentration of power.

This demo of structured data extraction running on an LLM that executes entirely in the browser (Chrome only for the moment since it uses WebGPU) is amazing

Wasn't going to wade into this but... as long as the internet exists in an open form, scraping will exist, and that's kind of the whole point... APIs exist because interacting with data is valuable and scraping (the old fashioned way) is annoying.

For me, the biggest risk in AI is centralization of power and benefits in the hands of a few. This is why at @hf.co, we've been investing on building online courses for as many people as possible to understand and learn to build AI themselves. You can find some of them here: huggingface.co/learn

I’m thankful for everyone using Bluesky, everyone building on atproto, everyone listening to our message and sharing our dream of a better social media ecosystem that puts people first. We’re going to do this together — thanks for joining us on this journey!

A dataset of 1 million or 2 million Bluesky posts is completely irrelevant to training large language models.

The primary usecase for the datasets that people are losing their shit over isn't ChatGPT, it's social science research and developing systems that improve Bluesky.
Did you know that 99% of email today is spam? Your inbox isn’t 99% spam because AI is used to filter it.

The same 99% will happen here too, but if AI researchers continue to get perma-banned for making available the datasets needed to filter it, it’s going to make this platform unusable.

Hi, so I've spent the past almost-decade studying research uses of public social media data, like e.g. ML researchers using content from Twitter, Reddit, and Mastodon.

Anyway, buckle up this is about to be a VERY long thread with lots of thoughts and links to papers. 🧵

📊 1M public posts from Bluesky's firehose API
🔍 Includes text, metadata, and language predictions
🔬 Perfect to experiment with using ML for Bluesky 🤗
