Lil personal update: I started a new role at Apple this month! 🍏 I'll be doing full-stack work, building tooling for AIML teams. Excited for what's to come :)

I've been working on a little game project recently, controlling a spacecraft using a 6502 emulator! You can read sensors and actuate the craft by doing read/writes to memory.

It's a Godot project (with a 6502 rust extension) exported to the web with a svelte interface. A lot of firsts for me 😅

Today in Privacy & AI Tooling - introducing a nifty new tool to examine where data goes in open-source apps on @hf.co 🤗

HF Spaces have tons (100Ks!) of cool demos leveraging or examining AI systems - and because most of them are OSS we can see exactly how they handle user data 📚🔍

Last week, we launched a waitlist to move builders on @hf.co from LFS to Xet. This was made possible through months of hard work and staged migrations to test our infrastructure in real-time.

This post provides an inside look into the day of our first migrations and the weeks after.
Xet is on the Hub
We’re on a journey to advance and democratize artificial intelligence through open source and open science.

Gemma 3 is live 🔥

You can deploy it from endpoints directly with an optimally selected hardware and configurations.

Give it a try 👇

🤖 (🤗+🐸 )=✅ I am always stoked to share how the tech world operationalizes ethical values, and I get to do that today. 🥳 @hf.co and JFrog have partnered to certify models for security and safety.
This also moves forward AI *trustworthiness* and provides another form of AI *transparency*. More later!

Day 17 — until today, intellisense would often fail when you were in the middle of writing components, because Svelte's parser crashed on syntax errors.

We just fixed that. Install svelte@latest, make sure your extensions are up to date, and feel the wind in your hair as you write your components

This feels like a pretty big deal! Loving this new feature, especially when combined with reactive state in classes. I really like this new Svelte DX

Day 12 — send custom types across the network boundary in SvelteKit, whether it's a class containing reactive state, a class used by your database ORM library, or whatever. Just export a `transport` object from your `hooks.js`

New Llama model just dropped! Evals are looking quite impressive but we'll see how good it is in practice. We're hosting it for free on HuggingChat, feel free to come try it out: hf.co/chat/models/...

The Lichess database of games, puzzles, and engine evaluations is now on @hf.co - https://huggingface.co/Lichess. Billions of chess data points to download, query, and stream and we're excited to see what you'll build with it! ♟️ 🤗

Worked on a little UI for displaying the outputs of reasoning models on HuggingChat...

Trying to find the right balance between letting users see the raw model output but also making the final answer easier to parse. QwQ can be *very* verbose so it seemed useful to give a summary at the end.

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.

We just deployed Qwen/QwQ-32B-Preview on HuggingChat! It's Qwen's latest experimental reasoning model.

It's super interesting to see the reasoning steps, and with really impressive results too. Feel free to try it out here: huggingface.co/chat/models/...

I'd love to get your feedback on it!
