Want AI that truly understands your country's culture? Public institutions are sitting on the next AI revolution - and here's the practical guide to unlock it.

I've had fascinating conversations recently about sovereign AI, with people trying to solve this recurring question: "How do we build AI that truly understands our culture?"

This guide by @evijit and @yjernite brings lots of insights about this question. It's not just about throwing data at models. It's about partnering cultural expertise with tech infrastructure in ways we're just starting to figure out.

An example? The National Library of Norway already has 150+ AI models on Hugging Face. They're not just digitizing books - they're building AI that thinks in Norwegian, understands Norwegian values, and serves Norwegian citizens.

This is sovereign AI in practice: technology that understands your culture, values, and languages.

Especially loved the practical examples on how to do this:
- Real examples from museums, libraries, and government agencies
- How to convert complex documents (PDFs, PowerPoints) into ML-ready formats
- Code templates for processing public data
- Technical recipes for sharing datasets on open platforms

The stakes? Citizens' ability to leverage their collective digital intelligence.

The technology is ready. The infrastructure exists. The guide shows exactly how to use it. What's needed is your cultural expertise to shape these tools.

Do chatbots lie about Céline Dion? We now have answers, not speculation.

Ai2 just released OLMoTrace and it's a game-changer for transparency. You can literally see where an AI's responses come from in its training data - in real time.

The demo shows results about Céline. So I tried it out myself! Watch what happens in the video.

For journalists, researchers studying hallucinations and anyone who needs to trust their AI, this is like getting X-ray vision into AI systems. When the model made claims, I could instantly verify them against original sources. When it hallucinated, I could see why.

You can finally 1) understand how LLMs actually work and 2) verify if what they're saying is true. No more blind trust.

This pushes the open data movement to the next level.

👉 Paper: https://www.datocms-assets.com/64837/1743890415-olmotrace.pdf

P.S.: A word of caution: never use a chatbot as a knowledge base. It's not Google. Better use it with a connection to the internet.

I read the 456-page AI Index report so you don't have to (kidding). The wild part? While AI gets ridiculously more accessible, the power gap is actually widening:

1️⃣ The democratization of AI capabilities is accelerating rapidly:
- The gap between open and closed models is basically closed: difference in benchmarks like MMLU and HumanEval shrunk to just 1.7% in 2024
- The cost to run GPT-3.5-level performance dropped 280x in 2 years
- Model size is shrinking while maintaining performance - Phi-3-mini hitting 60%+ MMLU at fraction of parameters of early models like PaLM

2️⃣ But we're seeing concerning divides deepening:
- Geographic: US private investment ($109B) dwarfs everyone else - 12x China's $9.3B
- Research concentration: US and China dominate highly-cited papers (50 and 34 respectively in 2023), while next closest is only 7
- Gender: Major gaps in AI skill penetration rates - US shows 2.39 vs 1.71 male/female ratio

The tech is getting more accessible but the benefits aren't being distributed evenly. Worth thinking about as these tools become more central to the economy.

Give it a read - fascinating portrait of where AI is heading! https://hai-production.s3.amazonaws.com/files/hai_ai_index_report_2025.pdf

See that purple banner on the Llama 4 models? It's Xet storage, and this is actually huge for anyone building with AI models. Let's geek out a little bit 🤓

Current problem: AI models are massive files using Git LFS. But with models getting bigger and downloads exploding, we needed something better.
Xet lets you version large files like code, with compression and deduplication, all Git-compatible. That means less bandwidth, faster sharing, and smoother collaboration.

Real numbers: ~25% deduplication on Llama 4 models, hitting ~40% for finetunes.

Scale matters here - the Hub served 2B model downloads in 30 days, Llama models alone at 60M. The upcoming Llama 4 Behemoth has 2T parameters! Xet's chunk-based system was built exactly for this.

This is the kind of engineering that makes the next wave of large models actually usable. Kudos to the team! 🧨

"Am I going to be replaced by AI?" - Crucial question, but maybe we're asking the wrong one.

📈 There's a statistic from my reads this week that stays with me: Tomer Cohen, LinkedIn's CPO, shares to Jeremy Kahn that 70% of skills used in most jobs will change by 2030. Not jobs disappearing, but transforming. And he calls out bad leadership: "If in one year's time, you are disappointed that your workforce is not 'AI native,' it is your fault."

🔄 Apparently, the Great Recalibration has begun. We're now heading into an era where AI is fundamentally redefining the nature of work itself, by forcing a complete reassessment of human value in the workplace, according to a piece in Fast Company. But it might be driven more by "the need for humans to change the way they work" than AI.

⚡ The Washington Post draws a crucial parallel: We're facing an "AI shock" similar to manufacturing's "China shock" - but hitting knowledge workers. Especially entry-level, white-collar work could get automated. The key difference? "Winning the AI tech competition with other countries won't be enough. It's equally vital to win the battle to re-skill workers."

Digging into these big questions in this week’s AI in the News: https://fdaudens.substack.com/publish/posts/detail/160596301

Also, I'm curious: how are you keeping up with this pace of change? What strategies are working for you?

Did we just drop personalized AI evaluation?! This tool auto-generates custom benchmarks on your docs to test which models are the best.

Most benchmarks test general capabilities, but what matters is how models handle your data and tasks. YourBench helps answer critical questions like:
- Do you really need a hundreds-of-billions-parameter model sledgehammer to crack a nut?
- Could a smaller, fine-tuned model work better?
- How well do different models understand your domain?

Some cool features:
📚 Generates custom benchmarks from your own documents (PDFs, Word, HTML)
🎯 Tests models on real tasks, not just general capabilities
🔄 Supports multiple models for different pipeline stages
🧠 Generate both single-hop and multi-hop questions
🔍 Evaluate top models and deploy leaderboards instantly
💰 Full cost analysis to optimize for your budget
🛠️ Fully configurable via a single YAML file

26 SOTA models tested for question generation. Interesting finding: Qwen2.5 32B leads in question diversity, while smaller Qwen models and Gemini 2.0 Flash offer great value for cost.

You can also run it locally on any models you want.

I'm impressed. Try it out: yourbench/demo

We've all become experts at clicking "I agree" without a second thought. In my latest blog post, I explore why these traditional consent models are increasingly problematic in the age of generative AI.

I found three fundamental challenges:
- Scope problem: how can you know what you're agreeing to when AI could use your data in different ways?
- Temporality problem: once an AI system learns from your data, good luck trying to make it "unlearn" it.
- Autonomy trap: the data you share today could create systems that pigeonhole you tomorrow.

Individual users shouldn't bear all the responsibility, while big tech holds all the cards. We need better approaches to level the playing field, from collective advocacy and stronger technological safeguards to establishing "data fiduciaries" with a legal duty to protect our digital interests.
