Tremendous quality of life upgrade on the Hugging Face Hub - we now have auto-complete emojis 🤗 🥳 👏 🙌 🎉

Get ready for lots more very serious analysis on a whole range of topics from yours truly now that we have unlocked this full range of expression 😄 🤔 🗣 🙊

Want to learn to build an AI Agent? I put together a cookbook for creating your own news research agent with OpenAI GPT-OSS:

- Searches headlines & specific sites
- Pulls full articles when you need depth
- Summarizes with clickable sources
- Runs in a simple Gradio chat UI
- No GPU, no local setup — just open-weight GPT-OSS models via Hugging Face

If you’ve been wanting to try agents but weren’t sure where to start, this is an end-to-end example you can fork, run, and adapt.

What can OpenAI’s new open models do with the news? I built a News Agent to find out.

It can answer questions about the news in real time, and every answer comes with original source links so you can dive deeper.

Ask it things like:
- "What are the top news stories today?"
- "What's the latest on artificial intelligence?"
- Follow-up questions on specific stories

Runs with Hugging Face inference providers, letting you compare results from the OpenAI 20B and 120B models

So far, I’m quite impressed by the capabilities of even the smaller 20B model. Definitely not a perfect project, but curious to hear your thoughts!

OpenAI’s GPT-OSS has sparked ~400 new models on Hugging Face and racked up 5M downloads in less than a week, already outpacing DeepSeek R1’s first-week numbers.

For comparison: when R1 launched, I tracked 550 derivatives (across 8 base models) in a week, with ~3M downloads. GPT-OSS is ahead on adoption and engagement.

It’s also the most-liked release of any major LLM this summer. The 20B and 120B versions quickly shot past Kimi K2, GLM 4.5, and others in likes.

Most-downloaded GPT-OSS models include LM Studio and Unsloth AI versions:
1️⃣ openai/gpt-oss-20b - 2.0M
2️⃣ lmstudio-community/gpt-oss-20b-MLX-8bit - 750K
3️⃣ openai/gpt-oss-120b - 430K
4️⃣ unsloth/gpt-oss-20b-GGUF - 380K
5️⃣ lmstudio-community/gpt-oss-20b-GGUF - 330K

The 20B version is clearly finding its audience, showing the power of smaller, faster, more memory- and energy-efficient models. (These numbers don’t include calls to the models via inference providers, so the real usage is likely even bigger, especially for the 120B version)

Open-weight models let anyone build on top. Empower the builders, and innovation takes off. 🚀

Well, it took just 2 hours for openai/gpt-oss-120b to hit #1 on Hugging Face. Don’t remember seeing anything rise that fast!

𝗙𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗚𝗣𝗔𝗜 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗘𝗨 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 𝗧𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲? 🇪🇺

With the release of the EU data transparency template this week, we finally got to see one of the most meaningful artifacts to come out of the AI Act implementation so far (haven't you heard? AI's all about the data! 📊📚)

The impact of the template will depend on how effectively it establishes a minimum meaningful transparency standard for companies that don't otherwise offer any transparency into their handling of e.g. personal data or (anti?-)competitive practices in commercial licensing - we'll see how those play out as new models are released after August 2nd 👀


In the meantime, I wanted to see how the template works for a fully open-source + commercially viable model, so I filled it out for the SmolLM3 - which my colleagues at Hugging Face earlier this month 🤗 ICYMI, it's fully open-source with 3B parameters and performance matching the best similar-size models (I've switched all my local apps from Qwen3 to it, you should too 💡)

Verdict: congrats to the European Commission AI Office for making it so straightforward! Fully open and transparent models remain a cornerstone of informed regulation and governance, but the different organizational needs of their developers aren't always properly accounted for in new regulation. In this case, it took me all of two hours to fill out and publish the template (including reading the guidelines) - so kudos for making it feasible for smaller and distributed organizations 🙌 Definitely a step forward for transparency 🔍

To learn more have a look at:

- The SmolLM3 model: HuggingFaceTB/SmolLM3-3B
- Its filled out Public Summary of Training Content: hfmlsoc/smollm3-eu-data-transparency
- And if you're interested, some previous remarks on regulatory minimum meaningful standards for data disclosure: https://huggingface.co/blog/yjernite/naiac-data-transparency

AudioRAG is becoming real! Just built a demo with ColQwen-Omni that does semantic search on raw audio, no transcription needed.

Drop in a podcast, ask your question, and it finds the exact chunks where it happens. You can also get a written answer.

What’s exciting: it skips transcription, making it faster and better at capturing emotion, ambient sound, and tone, surfacing results text search would miss.

You might not have heard of Moonshot AI — but within 24 hours, their new model Kimi K2 shot to the top of Hugging Face’s trending leaderboard.

So… who are they, and why does it matter?

Had a lot of fun co-writing this blog post with @xianbao , with key insights translated from Chinese, to unpack how this startup built a model that outperforms GPT-4.1, Claude Opus, and DeepSeek V3 on several major benchmarks.

🧵 A few standout facts:

1. From zero to $3.3B in 18 months:
Founded in March 2023, Moonshot is now backed by Alibaba, Tencent, Meituan, and HongShan.

2. A CEO who thinks from the end:
Yang Zhilin (31) previously worked at Meta AI, Google Brain, and Carnegie Mellon. His vision? Nothing less than AGI — still a rare ambition among Chinese AI labs.

3. A trillion-parameter model that’s surprisingly efficient:
Kimi K2 uses a mixture-of-experts architecture (32B active params per inference) and dominates on coding/math benchmarks.

4. The secret weapon: Muon optimizer:
A new training method that doubles efficiency, cuts memory in half, and ran 15.5T tokens with zero failures. Big implications.

Most importantly, their move from closed to open source signals a broader shift in China’s AI scene — following Baidu’s pivot. But as Yang puts it: “Users are the only real leaderboard.”

👇 Check out the full post to explore what Kimi K2 can do, how to try it, and why it matters for the future of open-source LLMs:

AI is reshaping everything—how we work, how we feel, even how nations compete.

Today’s reads cut across power, emotion, and disruption.

Here’s what stood out and why it matters 👇

AI might “solve” loneliness, but this could be a problem, as the discomfort of loneliness shapes us in important ways. 💔 https://t.co/k2Q9le6G0P

A new study warns of significant risks in using AI therapy chatbots, highlighting issues like stigmatization and inappropriate responses. 🤖 https://t.co/EFyW0RbYVl

AI is already showing signs of slashing job openings in the UK, particularly in roles exposed to the technology, suggesting a labor market slowdown. 📉 https://t.co/hhs0BbqIMa

AI firms like OpenAI are poaching Wall Street quants with massive paydays, shifting the talent landscape for building artificial general intelligence. 💰 https://www.businessinsider.com/ai-talent-openai-wall-street-quant-trading-firms-2025-7

Speaking of which: Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang disagrees with Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei on whether AI will create more jobs—or trigger a “white-collar apocalypse.” Huang believes AI will create vastly more, and better, jobs. ⚔️ https://t.co/YHWhY7qvSq

Can Nvidia convince governments to pay for “sovereign AI”? Politicians are warming to the idea of national AI systems, but it might not reduce dependence on US tech. 🌍 https://t.co/htQDzJAIDu
