Time flies!

Six months after joining Hugging Face the Xet team is kicking off the first migrations from LFS to our storage for a number of repositories on the Hub.

More on the nitty gritty details behind the migration soon, but here are the big takeaways:

🤖 We've successfully completed the first migrations from LFS -> Xet to test the infrastructure and prepare for a wider release

✅ No action on your part needed - you can work with a Xet-backed repo like any other repo on the Hub (for now - major improvements on their way!)

👀 Keep an eye out for the Xet logo to see if a repo you know is on our infra! See the screenshots below to spot the difference 👇

⏩ ⏩ ⏩ Blazing uploads and downloads coming soon. W’re gearing up for a full integration with the Hub's Python library that will make building on the Hub faster than ever - special thanks to @celinah and @Wauplin for their assistance.

🎉 Want Early Access? If you’re curious and want to test it out the bleeding edge that will power the development experience on the Hub, we’d love to partner with you. Let me know!

This is the culmination of a lot of effort from the entire team. Big round of applause to @sirahd @brianronan @jgodlewski @hoytak @seanses @assafvayner @znation @saba9 @rajatarya @port8080 @yuchenglow

This dataset was collected in roughly 4 hours using the Rapidata Python API, showcasing how quickly large-scale annotations can be performed with the right tooling!

All that at less than the cost of a single hour of a typical ML engineer in Zurich!

The new dataset of ~22,000 human annotations evaluating AI-generated videos based on different dimensions, such as Prompt-Video Alignment, Word for Word Prompt Alignment, Style, Speed of Time flow and Quality of Physics.

I am pleased to introduce my first project built upon Hugging Face’s smolagents framework, integrated with Alpaca for financial market analysis automation 🦙🤗

The project implements technical indicators such as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Bollinger Bands to provide momentum and volatility analysis. Market data is retrieved through the Alpaca API, enabling access to historical price information across various timeframes.

AI-powered insights are generated using Hugging Face’s inference API, facilitating the analysis of market trends through natural language processing with DuckDuckGo search integration for real-time sentiment analysis based on financial news 🦆

Nice paper comparing the fp8 inference efficiency of Nvidia H100 and Intel Gaudi2: An Investigation of FP8 Across Accelerators for LLM Inference (2502.01070)

The conclusion is interesting: "Our findings highlight that the Gaudi 2, by leveraging FP8, achieves higher throughput-to-power efficiency during LLM inference"

One aspect of AI hardware accelerators that is often overlooked is how they consume less energy than GPUs. It's nice to see researchers starting carrying out experiments to measure this!

Gaudi3 results soon...

Toward the end of last year, the Xet team provided an inside look into the foundations of how we plan to enable rapid experimentation and iteration for the AI builders on the Hub: https://huggingface.co/blog/from-files-to-chunks

But it turns out chunks aren't all you need!

Our goal is to bring:
🚀 Faster uploads
⏬ Speedy downloads
💪 All without sacrificing your workflow

To do that, we need the infrastructure and system and design to back it up. As we prepare to roll out the first Xet-backed repositories on the Hub, we wrote up a post explaining the nitty gritty details of the decisions that bring this to life https://huggingface.co/blog/from-chunks-to-blocks

Complete with an interactive visualization that shows the power of deduplication in action - taking a 191GB repo to ~97GB and shaving a few hours off upload speeds.

The darker each block in the heatmap, the more we dedupe, the less we have to transfer. Clicking on a file's blocks shows all other files that share blocks.

Check it out and explore for yourself! xet-team/quantization-dedup

Runway Gen-3 Alpha: The Style and Coherence Champion

Runway's latest video generation model, Gen-3 Alpha, is something special. It ranks #3 overall on our text-to-video human preference benchmark, but in terms of style and coherence, it outperforms even OpenAI Sora.

However, it struggles with alignment, making it less predictable for controlled outputs.

We've released a new dataset with human evaluations of Runway Gen-3 Alpha: Rapidata's text-2-video human preferences dataset. If you're working on video generation and want to see how your model compares to the biggest players, we can benchmark it for you.

🚀 DM us if you’re interested!

Simple Paper Review #5

I briefly reviewed the paper "SFT Memorizes, RL Generalizes," which compares SFT and RL in post-training of LLM/VLM from HKU, UC Berkeley, Google DeepMind, and New York University

The conclusion suggests SFT excels in memorization, while RL is better for generalization. However, since LLM/VLM should benefit humans beyond just generalization, a mix of SFT and RL is advisable. Typically, some SFT is followed by RL to understand prompt formats and enhance generalization through trial and error.

The study focused on one model, Llama-3.2-Vision-11B, using environments like General Points for arithmetic reasoning and V-IRL for spatial reasoning. Training data was used for both SFT and RL, with evaluations on in-distribution and out-of-distribution data to assess memorization and generalization.

I want to apply RL extensively, but it requires building a similar simulation environment. For domain-specific models, significant investment in creating a "playground" for the model is crucial, as the effort will directly influence the outcomes.

A brief summary of the o3-mini

The OpenAI o3-mini model is a significant improvement over the o1-mini, reaching o1 performance levels. While generally good, its performance isn't universally better than previous models (o1, o1-prev.) or GPT-4o across all benchmarks. This means workflows should be re-evaluated with each model upgrade.

The o3-mini has "low," "medium," and "high" versions, with "low" being the base model used for benchmarking. It's speculated that the higher versions simply involve more processing. A fair comparison with other models like Gemini 2.0 Thinking or DeepSeek-R1 would likely need to use the "low" version and a similar "think more" mechanism.

The system card is recommended reading due to its comprehensive benchmark data.
