Hi HuggingFace community!๐ค
I recently released PrAIvateSearch v2.0-beta.0 (https://github.com/AstraBert/PrAIvateSearch), my privacy-first, AI-powered, user-centered and data-safe application aimed at providing a local and open-source alternative to big AI search engines such as SearchGPT or Perplexity AI.
We have several key changes:
- New chat UI built with NextJS
- DuckDuckGo API used for web search instead of Google
- https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct as a language model served on API (by FastAPI)
- Crawl4AI crawler used for web scraping
- Optimizations in the data workflow inside the application
Read more in my blog post ๐ https://huggingface.co/blog/as-cle-bert/search-the-web-with-ai
Have fun and feel free to leave feedback about how to improve the application!โจ

Are you using Obsidian to write your notes?
If the answer is yes, then this post might be for you!โ
I recently created ๐จ๐๐ฌ๐ข๐๐ข๐๐ง-๐๐ข๐ ๐๐ฌ๐ญ, a Google Gemini-powered application that gives you feedback on style and contents of the documents you have been working on๐ง
Repo ๐ https://github.com/AstraBert/obsidian-digest
PyPi Package ๐ https://pypi.org/project/obsidian-digest/
The app is available as:

Hi and thanks a lot for the specification!๐ฅฐ
Just as a note from my side, in the article I specify that there is a difference between "open weights" and "open source" models, and I link this blog post: https://www.agora.software/en/llm-open-source-open-weight-or-proprietary/ for a deeper explanation of the difference. I never (and I would never) claimed that Llama is open source, let alone a free software (see the introduction in this article of mine on privacy and data "stealing" risks: https://huggingface.co/blog/as-cle-bert/build-an-ai-powered-search-engine-from-scratch).
And I would have gladly used also DeepSeek, if it had been available on HuggingChat! :)
I nevertheless highly appreciate your comment and I'll for sure be more cautious in using the word "open/open source" in the future. Thanks!โจ

Both PdfItDown and SenTrEv only work with text for now: in future releases, support for image will be added :)
For text extraction, I use PyPDF + Langchain

Hi HuggingFacers๐ค, I decided to ship early this year, and here's what I came up with:
๐๐๐๐๐ญ๐๐จ๐ฐ๐ง (https://github.com/AstraBert/PdfItDown) - If you're like me, and you have all your RAG pipeline optimized for PDFs, but not for other data formats, here is your solution! With PdfItDown, you can convert Word documents, presentations, HTML pages, markdown sheets and (why not?) CSVs and XMLs in PDF format, for seamless integration with your RAG pipelines. Built upon MarkItDown by Microsoft

PyPi Package ๐ https://pypi.org/project/pdfitdown/
๐๐๐ง๐๐ซ๐๐ฏ ๐ฏ๐.๐.๐ (https://github.com/AstraBert/SenTrEv/tree/v1.0.0) - If you need to evaluate the ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฒ๐๐ฎ๐น performance of your ๐๐ฒ๐ ๐ ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ถ๐ป๐ด models, I have good news for you๐ฅณ๐ฅณ
The new release for ๐๐๐ง๐๐ซ๐๐ฏ now supports ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ฒ and ๐๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐๐ฒ retrieval (thanks to FastEmbed by Qdrant) with ๐๐ฒ๐ ๐-๐ฏ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐ณ๐ถ๐น๐ฒ ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ๐บ๐ฎ๐๐ (.docx, .pptx, .csv, .html, .xml, .md, .pdf) and new ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐น๐ฒ๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ ๐บ๐ฒ๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฐ๐!

Hi HF Community!๐ค
As my last 2024 contribution, I decided to write an article about a Competitive Debate Championship simulation I ran with 5 LLMs as competitors and 2 as judges:
https://huggingface.co/blog/as-cle-bert/debate-championship-for-llms
The article covers code, analyses and results, and you can find everything to reproduce this tournament in the GitHub repo ๐ https://github.com/AstraBert/DebateLLM-Championship
I also released a dataset related to the data (motions, arguments, topics, winners...) collected during the tournament ๐ as-cle-bert/DebateLLMs
Happy reading and happy new yeAIr!๐
