🤯 Gemma 3's image analysis blew me away!
Tested 2 ways to extract airplane registration numbers from photos with 12B model:
1️⃣ Gradio app w/API link (underrated feature IMO) + ZeroGPU infra on Hugging Face in Google Colab. Fast & free.
2️⃣ LMStudio + local processing (100% private). Running this powerhouse on a MacBook w/16GB RAM is wild! 🚀

Ever wanted 45 min with one of AI’s most fascinating minds? Was with
@thomwolf
at HumanX Vegas. Sharing my notes of his Q&A with the press—completely changed how I think about AI’s future:
1️⃣ The next wave of successful AI companies won’t be defined by who has the best model but by who builds the most useful real-world solutions. "We all have engines in our cars, but that’s rarely the only reason we buy one. We expect it to work well, and that’s enough. LLMs will be the same."
2️⃣ Big players are pivoting: "Closed-source companies—OpenAI being the first—have largely shifted from LLM announcements to product announcements."
3️⃣ Open source is changing everything: "DeepSeek was open source AI’s ChatGPT moment. Basically, everyone outside the bubble realized you can get a model for free—and it’s just as good as the paid ones."
4️⃣ Product innovation is being democratized: Take Manus, for example—they built a product on top of Anthropic’s models that’s "actually better than Anthropic’s own product for now, in terms of agents." This proves that anyone can build great products with existing models.
We’re entering a "multi-LLM world," where models are becoming commoditized, and all the tools to build are readily available—just look at the flurry of daily new releases on Hugging Face.
Thom's comparison to the internet era is spot-on: "In the beginning you made a lot of money by making websites... but nowadays the huge internet companies are not the companies that built websites. Like Airbnb, Uber, Facebook, they just use the internet as a medium to make something for real life use cases."
Love to hear your thoughts on this shift!

An assembly of 18 European companies, labs, and universities have banded together to launch 🇪🇺 EuroBERT! It's a state-of-the-art multilingual encoder for 15 European languages, designed to be finetuned for retrieval, classification, etc.
🇪🇺 15 Languages: English, French, German, Spanish, Chinese, Italian, Russian, Polish, Portuguese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Dutch, Arabic, Turkish, Hindi
3️⃣ 3 model sizes: 210M, 610M, and 2.1B parameters - very very useful sizes in my opinion
➡️ Sequence length of 8192 tokens! Nice to see these higher sequence lengths for encoders becoming more common.
⚙️ Architecture based on Llama, but with bi-directional (non-causal) attention to turn it into an encoder. Flash Attention 2 is supported.
🔥 A new Pareto frontier (stronger *and* smaller) for multilingual encoder models
📊 Evaluated against mDeBERTa, mGTE, XLM-RoBERTa for Retrieval, Classification, and Regression (after finetuning for each task separately): EuroBERT punches way above its weight.
📝 Detailed paper with all details, incl. data: FineWeb for English and CulturaX for multilingual data, The Stack v2 and Proof-Pile-2 for code.
Check out the release blogpost here: https://huggingface.co/blog/EuroBERT/release
* EuroBERT/EuroBERT-210m
* EuroBERT/EuroBERT-610m
* EuroBERT/EuroBERT-2.1B
The next step is for researchers to build upon the 3 EuroBERT base models and publish strong retrieval, zero-shot classification, etc. models for all to use. I'm very much looking forward to it!

Honored to be named among their 12 pioneers and power players in the news industry in the 2025 Tech Trends Report from Future Today Strategy Group.
Incredible group to be part of - each person is doing groundbreaking work at the intersection of AI and journalism. Worth following them all: they're consistently sharing practical insights on building the future of news.
Take the time to read this report, it's packed with insights as always. The news & information section's #1 insight hits hard: "The most substantive economic impact of AI to date has been licensing payouts for a handful of big publishers. The competition will start shifting in the year ahead to separate AI 'haves' that have positioned themselves to grow from the 'have-nots.'"
This AI-driven divide is something I've been really concerned about. Now is the time to build more than ever!

I was chatting with
@peakji
, one of the cofounders of Manu AI, who told me he was on Hugging Face (very cool!).
He shared an interesting insight which is that agentic capabilities might be more of an alignment problem rather than a foundational capability issue. Similar to the difference between GPT-3 and InstructGPT, some open-source foundation models are simply trained to 'answer everything in one response regardless of the complexity of the question' - after all, that's the user preference in chatbot use cases. Just a bit of post-training on agentic trajectories can make an immediate and dramatic difference.
As a thank you to the community, he shared 100 invite code first-come first serve, just use “HUGGINGFACE” to get access!

🚀 New smolagents update: Safer Local Python Execution! 🦾🐍
With the latest release, we've added security checks to the local Python interpreter: every evaluation is now analyzed for dangerous builtins, modules, and functions. 🔒
Here's why this matters & what you need to know! 🧵👇
1️⃣ Why is local execution risky? ⚠️
AI agents that run arbitrary Python code can unintentionally (or maliciously) access system files, run unsafe commands, or exfiltrate data.
2️⃣ New Safety Layer in smolagents 🛡️
We now inspect every return value during execution:
✅ Allowed: Safe built-in types (e.g., numbers, strings, lists)
⛔ Blocked: Dangerous functions/modules (e.g., os.system, subprocess, exec, shutil)
3️⃣ Immediate Benefits 💡
- Prevent agents from accessing unsafe builtins
- Block unauthorized file or network access
- Reduce accidental security vulnerabilities
4️⃣ Security Disclaimer ⚠️
🚨 Despite these improvements, local Python execution is NEVER 100% safe. 🚨
If you need true isolation, use a remote sandboxed executor like Docker or E2B.
5️⃣ The Best Practice: Use Sandboxed Execution 🔐
For production-grade AI agents, we strongly recommend running code in a Docker or E2B sandbox to ensure complete isolation.
6️⃣ Upgrade Now & Stay Safe! 🚀
Check out the latest smolagents release and start building safer AI agents today.

🚀 Big news for AI agents! With the latest release of smolagents, you can now securely execute Python code in sandboxed Docker or E2B environments. 🦾🔒
Here's why this is a game-changer for agent-based systems: 🧵👇
1️⃣ Security First 🔐
Running AI agents in unrestricted Python environments is risky! With sandboxing, your agents are isolated, preventing unintended file access, network abuse, or system modifications.
2️⃣ Deterministic & Reproducible Runs 📦
By running agents in containerized environments, you ensure that every execution happens in a controlled and predictable setting—no more environment mismatches or dependency issues!
3️⃣ Resource Control & Limits 🚦
Docker and E2B allow you to enforce CPU, memory, and execution time limits, so rogue or inefficient agents don’t spiral out of control.
4️⃣ Safer Code Execution in Production 🏭
Deploy AI agents confidently, knowing that any generated code runs in an ephemeral, isolated environment, protecting your host machine and infrastructure.
5️⃣ Easy to Integrate 🛠️
With smolagents, you can simply configure your agent to use Docker or E2B as its execution backend—no need for complex security setups!
6️⃣ Perfect for Autonomous AI Agents 🤖
If your AI agents generate and execute code dynamically, this is a must-have to avoid security pitfalls while enabling advanced automation.

What if AI becomes as ubiquitous as the internet, but runs locally and transparently on our devices?
Fascinating TED talk by @thomwolf on open source AI and its future impact.
Imagine this for AI: instead of black box models running in distant data centers, we get transparent AI that runs locally on our phones and laptops, often without needing internet access. If the original team moves on? No problem - resilience is one of the beauties of open source. Anyone (companies, collectives, or individuals) can adapt and fix these models.
This is a compelling vision of AI's future that solves many of today's concerns around AI transparency and centralized control.
