You can now use the "Synthetic Data Generator" at a much larger scale with your preferred inference engine: Ollama, vLLM, TGI, and serverless inference! π₯
I updated the LLM Scientist roadmap and added a ton of new information and references. It covers training, datasets, evaluation, quantization, and new trends like test-time compute scaling.
The LLM Course has been incredibly popular (41.3k stars!) and I've been touched to receive many, many messages about how it helped people in their careers.
I know how difficult this stuff can be, so I'm super proud of the impact it had. I want to keep updating it in 2025, especially with the LLM Engineer roadmap.
Weβre 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!
This week a few more languages have got 1,000 annotations for the educational quality of data from HuggingFaceFW/fineweb-2.
Why should you care?
The quality of pre-training data can have a big impact on the performance of downstream language models trained on that data (HuggingFaceFW/blogpost-fineweb-v1).
Being able to filter by educational quality is on way of improving the quality of the data you use for training an LLM. Very importantly this approach can also reduce the amount of data needed for pertaining.
Why not use an LLM?
LLMs can be used to annotate educational quality for a subset of data. This data can then be used to train a smaller encoder only model to label the full dataset. However, this may not work well for languages outside of english. This is where fineweb-c (community) comes in.
The community is annotating the educational quality of fineweb2 data. Currently 114 languages have some annotations. These annotations will enable a number of things:
- Evaluate whether an LLM can label the educational quality for texts in that language well - Directly be used for training quality classifiers - Help discover other rules and huerisitcs for refining fineweb2 further for different languages.
Introducing the Synthetic Data Generator, a user-friendly application that takes a no-code approach to creating custom datasets with Large Language Models (LLMs). The best part: A simple step-by-step process, making dataset creation a non-technical breeze, allowing anyone to create datasets and models in minutes and without any code.
What is the use of hugginface? How can I get up to speed on ML and AI and how to use this platform? Would be nice if there was a get started here section.
