๐Ÿ’ซ...And we're live!๐Ÿ’ซ Seasonal newsletter from ethicsy folks at Hugging Face, exploring the ethics of "AI Agents"
https://huggingface.co/blog/ethics-soc-7
Our analyses found:
- There's a spectrum of "agent"-ness
- *Safety* is a key issue, leading to many other value-based concerns
Read for details & what to do next!
With @evijit , @giadap , and @sasha

Apollo is a new family of open-source video language models by Meta, where 3B model outperforms most 7B models and 7B outperforms most 30B models ๐Ÿงถ

โœจ the models come in 1.5B https://huggingface.co/Apollo-LMMs/Apollo-1_5B-t32, 3B https://huggingface.co/Apollo-LMMs/Apollo-3B-t32 and 7B https://huggingface.co/Apollo-LMMs/Apollo-7B-t32 with A2.0 license, based on Qwen1.5 & Qwen2
โœจ the authors also release a benchmark dataset https://huggingface.co/spaces/Apollo-LMMs/ApolloBench

The paper has a lot of experiments (they trained 84 models!) about what makes the video LMs work โฏ๏ธ

Try the demo for best setup here https://huggingface.co/spaces/Apollo-LMMs/Apollo-3B
they evaluate sampling strategies, scaling laws for models and datasets, video representation and more!
> The authors find out that whatever design decision was applied to small models also scale properly when the model and dataset are scaled ๐Ÿ“ˆ scaling dataset has diminishing returns for smaller models
> They evaluate frame sampling strategies, and find that FPS sampling is better than uniform sampling, and they find 8-32 tokens per frame optimal
> They also compare image encoders, they try a variation of models from shape optimized SigLIP to DINOv2
they find google/siglip-so400m-patch14-384 to be most powerful ๐Ÿ”ฅ
> they also compare freezing different parts of models, training all stages with some frozen parts give the best yield

They eventually release three models, where Apollo-3B outperforms most 7B models and Apollo 7B outperforms 30B models ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Did a fun experiment: What are the main themes emerging from the 100+ Nieman Journalism Lab predictions for 2025?

I used natural language processing to cluster and map them โ€” really helps spot patterns that weren't obvious when reading predictions one by one. So what will shape journalism next year? A lot of AI and US politics (surprise!), but there's also this horizontal axis that spans from industry strategies to deep reflections on how to talk to the public.

Click any dot to explore the original prediction. What themes surprise/interest you the most?
