We’re launching a FREE and CERTIFIED course on Agents!

We're thrilled to announce the launch of the Hugging Face Agents course on Learn! This interactive, certified course will guide you through building and deploying your own AI agents.

Here's what you'll learn:

- Understanding Agents: We'll break down the fundamentals of AI agents, showing you how they use LLMs to perceive their environment (observations), reason about it (thoughts), and take actions. Think of a smart assistant that can book appointments, answer emails, or even write code based on your instructions.
- Building with Frameworks: You'll dive into popular agent frameworks like LangChain, LlamaIndex and smolagents. These tools provide the building blocks for creating complex agent behaviors.
- Real-World Applications: See how agents are used in practice, from automating SQL queries to generating code and summarizing complex documents.
- Certification: Earn a certification by completing the course modules, implementing a use case, and passing a benchmark assessment. This proves your skills in building and deploying AI agents.
Audience

This course is designed for anyone interested in the future of AI. Whether you're a developer, data scientist, or simply curious about AI, this course will equip you with the knowledge and skills to build your own intelligent agents.

Enroll today and start building the next generation of AI agent applications!

Open Preference Dataset for Text-to-Image Generation by the 🤗 Community

Open Image Preferences is an Apache 2.0 licensed dataset for text-to-image generation. This dataset contains 10K text-to-image preference pairs across common image generation categories, while using different model families and varying prompt complexities.

🌐 Announcing Global-MMLU: an improved MMLU Open dataset with evaluation coverage across 42 languages, built with Argilla and the Hugging Face community.

Global-MMLU is the result of months of work with the goal of advancing Multilingual LLM evaluation. It's been an amazing open science effort with collaborators from Cohere For AI, Mila - Quebec Artificial Intelligence Institute, EPFL, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, AI Singapore, National University of Singapore, KAIST, Instituto Superior Técnico, Carnegie Mellon University, CONICET, and University of Buenos Aires.

🏷️ +200 contributors used Argilla MMLU questions where regional, dialect, or cultural knowledge was required to answer correctly. 85% of the questions required Western-centric knowledge!

Thanks to this annotation process, the open dataset contains two subsets:

1. 🗽 Culturally Agnostic: no specific regional, cultural knowledge is required.
2. ⚖️ Culturally Sensitive: requires dialect, cultural knowledge or geographic knowledge to answer correctly.

Moreover, we provide high quality translations of 25 out of 42 languages, thanks again to the community and professional annotators leveraging Argilla on the Hub.

I hope this will ensure a better understanding of the limitations and challenges for making open AI useful for many languages.

Dataset: CohereForAI/Global-MMLU

This is amazing for cheap models fine-tunes without the hassle of actual deployment! TIL: LoRA fine-tunes for models on the Hub can directly be used for inference!

The Data Is Better Together community is set to release the first Apache 2 licensed image preference dataset!

Great work and let's give this a final push :)

@aashish1904 congrats on your month of HF pro. There is more to win during this sprint!

For anyone looking to boost their LLM fine-tuning and alignment skills this decemeber. We're running this free and open course called smol course. It’s not big like Li Yin and @mlabonne , it’s just smol.

👷 It focuses on practical use cases, so if you’re working on something, bring it along.

👯‍♀️ It’s peer reviewed and open so you can discuss and get feedback.

🤘 If you’re already a smol pro, feel free to drop a star or issue.

> > Part 1 starts now, and it’s on instruction tuning!

[SATURDAY ROUNDUP] ☕️🧑‍🎓

In case you missed everything this week. It’s all about vision language models and image preference datasets. Here are the models and datasets you can use in your projects.

QWQ-32B-Preview is the first open weights model to reason like o1 with comparable performance. It’s large but is acing some of the hardest tasks.

SmolVLM is a vision implementation of the recently released SmolLM2. It uses the Idefics3 approach to add a vision encoder. The main difference being the smaller language model (8b > 1.7b) and more compression of images. This results in a model that is very accurate for its memory footprint.

https://huggingface.co/blog/smolvlm

ColSmolVLM is a vision embedding model based on SmolVLM using the Colbert approach from ColPali. This is shown to be great at document retrieval and everyone should test it out in their RAG setups.

🔥 Dataset Drop - Open Image Preferences

BlackForest Labs Flux Dev VS. Stability AI Stable Diffusion Large 3.5

Together with the ⁠data-is-better-together community, we've worked on an Apache 2.0 licensed open image preference dataset based on the fal ai imgsys prompts dataset. Thanks to the awesome community, we have managed to get 5K preference pairs in less than 2 days. The annotation alignment among annotators is great too.

Aashish Kumar won a month of Hugging Face Pro by making the most contributions! Congrats from the entire team 🥇

The best thing?! We are not done yet! Let's keep the annotations coming for 5K more in the second part of the sprint! (with more prices to go around).

Dataset: https://huggingface.co/datasets/data-is-better-together/image-preferences-results

Let’s make a generation of amazing image-generation models

The best image generation models are trained on human preference datasets, where annotators have selected the best image from a choice of two. Unfortunately, many of these datasets are closed source so the community cannot train open models on them. Let’s change that!

The community can contribute image preferences for an open-source dataset that could be used for building AI models that convert text to image, like the flux or stable diffusion families. The dataset will be open source so everyone can use it to train models that we can all use.
