SmolVLM-2 and SigLIP-2 are now part of transformers in dedicated releases!

They're added on top of the v4.49.0 release, and can be installed from the following tags: v4.49.0-SmolVLM-2 and v4.49.0-SigLIP-2.

This marks a new beginning for the release process of transformers. For the past five years, we've been doing monthly releases featuring many models (v4.49.0, the latest release, features 9 new architectures).

Starting with SmolVLM-2 & SigLIP2, we'll now additionally release tags supporting new models on a stable branch. These models are therefore directly available for use by installing from the tag itself. These tags will continue to be updated with fixes applied to these models.

Going forward, continue expecting software releases following semantic versioning: v4.50.0 will have ~10 new architectures compared to v4.49.0, as well as a myriad of new features, improvements and bug fixes. Accompanying these software releases, we'll release tags offering brand new models as fast as possible, to make them accessible to all immediately.

Less is More for Reasoning (LIMO): a 32B model fine-tuned with 817 examples can beat o1-preview on math reasoning! 🤯

Do we really need o1's huge RL procedure to see reasoning emerge? It seems not.
Researchers from Shanghai Jiaotong University just demonstrated that carefully selected examples can boost math performance in large language models using SFT —no huge datasets or RL procedures needed.

Their procedure allows Qwen2.5-32B-Instruct to jump from 6.5% to 57% on AIME and from 59% to 95% on MATH, while using only 1% of the data in previous approaches.

⚡ The Less-is-More Reasoning Hypothesis:
‣ Minimal but precise examples that showcase optimal reasoning patterns matter more than sheer quantity
‣ Pre-training knowledge plus sufficient computational resources at inference levels up math skills

➡️ Core techniques:
‣ High-quality reasoning chains with self-verification steps
‣ 817 handpicked problems that encourage deeper reasoning
‣ Enough inference-time computation to allow extended reasoning

💪 Efficiency gains:
‣ Only 817 examples instead of 100k+
‣ 40.5% absolute improvement across 10 diverse benchmarks, outperforming models trained on 100x more data

This really challenges the notion that SFT leads to memorization rather than generalization! And opens up reasoning to GPU-poor researchers 🚀

𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗳𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘁: you can now share agents to the Hub! 🥳🥳

And any agent pushed to Hub get a cool Space interface to directly chat with it.

This was a real technical challenge: for instance, serializing tools to export them meant that you needed to get all the source code for a tool, verify that it was standalone (not relying on external variables), and gathering all the packages required to make it run.

Go try it out! 👉 https://github.com/huggingface/smolagents

For those who haven't come across it yet, here's a handy trick to discuss an entire GitHub repo with an LLM:

=> Just replace "github" with "gitingest" in the url, and you get the whole repo as a single string that you can then paste in your LLMs

"𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝗜 𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀": this statement has often been made, here are numbers to support it.

I've plotted the progress of AI agents on GAIA test set, and it seems they're headed to catch up with the human baseline in early 2026.

And that progress is still driven mostly by the improvement of base LLMs: progress would be even faster with fine-tuned agentic models.

We did it. Kokoro TTS (v1.0) can now run 100% locally in your browser w/ WebGPU acceleration. Real-time text-to-speech without a server. ⚡️

Generate 10 seconds of speech in ~1 second for $0.

What will you build? 🔥
webml-community/kokoro-webgpu

The most difficult part was getting the model running in the first place, but the next steps are simple:
✂️ Implement sentence splitting, allowing for streamed responses
🌍 Multilingual support (only phonemization left)

Who wants to help?

𝗔𝗱𝘆𝗲𝗻'𝘀 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗔𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗕𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘄𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗗𝗲𝗲𝗽𝗦𝗲𝗲𝗸-𝗥𝟭 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗴𝗴𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗮𝘀𝗸𝘀! ❌

➡️ How well do reasoning models perform on agentic tasks? Until now, all indicators seemed to show that they worked really well. On our recent reproduction of Deep Search, OpenAI's o1 was by far the best model to power an agentic system.

So when our partner Adyen built a huge benchmark of 450 data science tasks, and built data agents with smolagents to test different models, I expected reasoning models like o1 or DeepSeek-R1 to destroy the tasks at hand.

👎 But they really missed the mark. DeepSeek-R1 only got 1 or 2 out of 10 questions correct. Similarly, o1 was only at ~13% correct answers.

🧐 These results really surprised us. We thoroughly checked them, we even thought our APIs for DeepSeek were broken and colleagues Leandro Anton helped me start custom instances of R1 on our own H100s to make sure it worked well.
But there seemed to be no mistake. Reasoning LLMs actually did not seem that smart. Often, these models made basic mistakes, like forgetting the content of a folder that they had just explored, misspelling file names, or hallucinating data. Even though they do great at exploring webpages through several steps, the same level of multi-step planning seemed much harder to achieve when reasoning over files and data.

It seems like there's still lots of work to do in the Agents x Data space. Congrats to Adyen for this great benchmark, looking forward to see people proposing better agents! 🚀

Introducing 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝗗𝗲𝗲𝗽-𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 by Hugging Face! 💥

OpenAI's latest agentic app Deep Research seems really good... But it's closed, as usual.

⏱️ So with a team of cracked colleagues, we set ourselves a 24hours deadline to replicate and open-source Deep Research! ⏱️

➡️ We built open-Deep-Research, an entirely open agent that can: navigate the web autonomously, scroll and search through pages, download and manipulate files, run calculation on data...

We aimed for the best performance: are the agent's answers really rigorous?

On GAIA benchmark, Deep Research had 67% accuracy on the validation set.
➡️ open Deep Research is at 55% (powered by o1), it is:
- the best pass@1 solution submitted
- the best open solution 💪💪

And it's only getting started ! Please jump in, drop PRs, and let's bring it to the top !

Now you can launch a code agent directly from your terminal!
✨ 𝚜𝚖𝚘𝚕𝚊𝚐𝚎𝚗𝚝 "𝚈𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚝𝚊𝚜𝚔" directly launches a CodeAgent
▶️ This also works with web agents (replace 𝚜𝚖𝚘𝚕𝚊𝚐𝚎𝚗𝚝 with 𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚊𝚐𝚎𝚗𝚝) thanks to @merve !

💾 Another treat from smolagents release 1.7.0:
Now agents have a memory mechanism, enabling many possibilities like replaying the last run with 𝚊𝚐𝚎𝚗𝚝.𝚛𝚎𝚙𝚕𝚊𝚢(), thank you @clefourrier !

Check the release notes here 👉 https://github.com/huggingface/smolagents/releases/tag/v1.7.0

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗛𝘂𝗯 𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀!

✅ Hosting our own inference was not enough: now the Hub 4 new inference providers: fal, Replicate, SambaNova Systems, & Together AI.

Check model cards on the Hub: you can now, in 1 click, use inference from various providers (cf video demo)

Their inference can also be used through our Inference API client. There, you can use either your custom provider key, or your HF token, then billing will be handled directly on your HF account, as a way to centralize all expenses.

💸 Also, PRO users get 2$ inference credits per month!

Today we make the biggest release in smolagents so far: 𝘄𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗺𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹𝘀, 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝘄𝗲𝗯 𝗯𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀! 🥳

Our agents can now casually open up a web browser, and navigate on it by scrolling, clicking elements on the webpage, going back, just like a user would.

The demo below shows Claude-3.5-Sonnet browsing GitHub for task: "Find how many commits the author of the current top trending repo did over last year."
Hi @mlabonne !

Go try it out, it's the most cracked agentic stuff I've seen in a while 🤯 (well, along with OpenAI's Operator who beat us by one day)

For more detail, read our announcement blog 👉 https://huggingface.co/blog/smolagents-can-see
The code for the web browser example is here 👉 https://github.com/huggingface/smolagents/blob/main/examples/vlm_web_browser.py
