👉 What happened in AI in 2025? 👈

We prepared the 2025 version of the HF AI Timeline Grid, highlighting open vs API-based model releases, and allowing you to browse and filter by access, modality, and release type!

Play with it here:
2025-ai-timeline/2025-ai-timeline

Here's my personal quarterly TL;DR:

1️⃣ Q1 — Learning to Reason
Deepseek not only releases a top-notch reasoning model, but shows how to train them and compete with closed frontier models. OpenAI debuts Deep Research.

Significant milestones: DeepSeek R1 & R1-Zero, Qwen 2.5 VL, OpenAI Deep Research, Gemini 2.5 Pro (experimental)

2️⃣ Q2 — Multimodality and Coding
More LLMs embrace multimodality by default, and there's a surge in coding agents. Strong vision, audio, and generative models emerge.

Significant milestones: Llama 4, Qwen 3, Imagen 4, OpenAI Codex, Google Jules, Claude 4

3️⃣ Q3 — "Gold" rush, OpenAI opens up, the community goes bananas
Flagship models get gold in Math olympiads and hard benchmarks. OpenAI releases strong open source models and Google releases the much anticipated nano-banana for image generation and editing. Agentic workflows become commonplace.

Significant milestones: Gemini and OpenAI IMO Gold, gpt-oss, Gemini 2.5 Flash Image, Grok 4, Claude Sonnet 4.5

4️⃣ Q4 — Mistral returns, leaderboard hill-climbing
Mistral is back with updated model families. All labs release impressive models to wrap up the year!

Significant milestones: Claude Opus 4.5, DeepSeek Math V2, FLUX 2, GPT 5.1, Kimi K2 Thinking, Nano Banana Pro, GLM 4.7, Gemini 3, Mistral 3, MiniMax M2.1 🤯

We're kick-starting the process of Transformers v5, with @ArthurZ and @cyrilvallez !

v5 should be significant: we're using it as a milestone for performance optimizations, saner defaults, and a much cleaner code base worthy of 2025.

Fun fact: v4.0.0-rc-1 came out on Nov 19, 2020, nearly five years ago!

GH200 cooking time 🧑‍🍳🔥!

We just updated GPU-fryer 🍳 to run on Grace Hopper Superchip (GH200) - fully optimized for ARM-based systems!
With this release, we switched to cuBLASLt to support running FP8 benchmarks. You can monitor GPU throttling, TFLOPS outliers, HBM memory health, and ensure that you get the most of your hardware setup.
Perfect for stress testing and tuning datacenter GPUs.

Check it out on Github 👉 https://github.com/huggingface/gpu-fryer

Say hello to hf: a faster, friendlier Hugging Face CLI ✨

We are glad to announce a long-awaited quality-of-life improvement: the Hugging Face CLI has been officially renamed from huggingface-cli to hf!

So... why this change?

Typing huggingface-cli constantly gets old fast. More importantly, the CLI’s command structure became messy as new features were added over time (upload, download, cache management, repo management, etc.). Renaming the CLI is a chance to reorganize commands into a clearer, more consistent format.

We decided not to reinvent the wheel and instead follow a well-known CLI pattern: hf <resource> <action>. Isn't hf auth login easier to type and remember?

The full rationale, implementation details, and migration notes are in the blog post: https://huggingface.co/blog/hf-cli

I ran the Anthropic Misalignment Framework for a few top models and added it to a dataset: cfahlgren1/anthropic-agentic-misalignment-results

You can read the reasoning traces of the models trying to blackmail the user and perform other actions. It's very interesting!!

✨ Today we’re releasing Tiny Agents in Python — an MCP-powered Agent in ~70 lines of code 🐍

Inspired by Tiny Agents in JS from @julien-c , we ported the idea to Python and integrated it directly into huggingface_hub — with a built-in MCP Client and a Tiny Agents CLI.

TL;DR: With MCP (Model Context Protocol), you can expose tools like web search or image generation and connect them directly to LLMs. It’s simple — and surprisingly powerful.

pip install "huggingface_hub[mcp]>=0.32.0"

We wrote a blog post where we show how to run Tiny Agents, and dive deeper into how they work and how to build your own.

‼️ huggingface_hub's v0.30.0 is out with our biggest update of the past two years!

Full release notes: https://github.com/huggingface/huggingface_hub/releases/tag/v0.30.0.

🚀 Ready. Xet. Go!

Xet is a groundbreaking new protocol for storing large objects in Git repositories, designed to replace Git LFS. Unlike LFS, which deduplicates files, Xet operates at the chunk level—making it a game-changer for AI builders collaborating on massive models and datasets. Our Python integration is powered by [xet-core](https://github.com/huggingface/xet-core), a Rust-based package that handles all the low-level details.

You can start using Xet today by installing the optional dependency:

pip install -U huggingface_hub[hf_xet]


With that, you can seamlessly download files from Xet-enabled repositories! And don’t worry—everything remains fully backward-compatible if you’re not ready to upgrade yet.

Blog post: https://huggingface.co/blog/xet-on-the-hub
Docs: https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/en/storage-backends#xet


⚡ Inference Providers

- We’re thrilled to introduce Cerebras and Cohere as official inference providers! This expansion strengthens the Hub as the go-to entry point for running inference on open-weight models.

- Novita is now our 3rd provider to support text-to-video task after Fal.ai and Replicate.

- Centralized billing: manage your budget and set team-wide spending limits for Inference Providers! Available to all Enterprise Hub organizations.

from huggingface_hub import InferenceClient
client = InferenceClient(provider="fal-ai", bill_to="my-cool-company")
image = client.text_to_image(
    "A majestic lion in a fantasy forest",
    model="black-forest-labs/FLUX.1-schnell",
)
image.save("lion.png")


- No more timeouts when generating videos, thanks to async calls. Available right now for Fal.ai, expecting more providers to leverage the same structure very soon!

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.

If you haven't seen yet, we just released Inference Providers 🔀

> 4 new serverless inference providers on the Hub 🤯
> Use your HF API key or personal key with all providers 🔑
> Chat with Deepseek R1, V3, and more on HF Hub 🐋
> We support Sambanova, TogetherAI, Replicate, and Fal.ai 💪

Best of all, we don't charge any markup on top of the provider 🫰 Have you tried it out yet? HF Pro accounts get $2 of free usage for the provider inference.

We are introducing multi-backend support in Hugging Face Text Generation Inference!
With new TGI architecture we are now able to plug new modeling backends to get best performances according to selected model and available hardware. This first step will very soon be followed by the integration of new backends (TRT-LLM, llama.cpp, vLLM, Neuron and TPU).

We are polishing the TensorRT-LLM backend which achieves impressive performances on NVIDIA GPUs, stay tuned 🤗 !

Check out the details: https://huggingface.co/blog/tgi-multi-backend
