With the big hype around AI agents these days, I couldnโt stop thinking about how AI agents could truly enhance real-world activities.
What sort of applications could we build with those AI agents: agentic RAG? self-correcting text-to-sql? Nah, boringโฆ
Passionate about outdoors, Iโve always dreamed of a tool that could simplify planning mountain trips while accounting for all potential risks. Thatโs why I built ๐๐น๐ฝ๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ ๐๐ด๐ฒ๐ป๐, a smart assistant designed to help you plan safe and enjoyable itineraries in the French Alps and Pyrenees.
Built using Hugging Face's ๐๐บ๐ผ๐น๐ฎ๐ด๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ library, Alpine Agent combines the power of AI with trusted resources like ๐๐ฌ๐ช๐ต๐ฐ๐ถ๐ณ.๐ง๐ณ (https://skitour.fr/) and METEO FRANCE. Whether itโs suggesting a route with moderate difficulty or analyzing avalanche risks and weather conditions, this agent dynamically integrates data to deliver personalized recommendations.
In my latest blog post, I share how I developed this projectโfrom defining tools and integrating APIs to selecting the best LLMs like ๐๐ธ๐ฆ๐ฏ2.5-๐๐ฐ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ณ-32๐-๐๐ฏ๐ด๐ต๐ณ๐ถ๐ค๐ต, ๐๐ญ๐ข๐ฎ๐ข-3.3-70๐-๐๐ฏ๐ด๐ต๐ณ๐ถ๐ค๐ต, or ๐๐๐-4.

That moment when you spend 5 days up babysitting trains, only for colab pro + to randomly disconnect the environment at every chance with 0 error indication of any kind (it just disconnects without an error). Nuke the session from the interface, but continue to eat my colab credits while it reports to wandb. 0 way of saving the models when this happens since it nukes the code preset up to auto-execute. And since the sessions 'exist' but also at the same time doesn't exist i cant close it. And have to wait till they auto timeout after 24hrs. Guess, i won't be using colab for 'quick' test trains anymore. Thanks google for scheming the very little model training budget i had for the month.

People are flexing their end of year stats, so I made this app to show hub stats in a tidy design!

yes
@DouglasMourray
imo the Local apps menu should solve part of what you're looking for:

TL;DR: The Story of Attention's Development by
@karpathy
Origin: First proposed in 2014 by @Dzmitry Bahdanau, @KyunghyunCho , and Yoshua Bengio in Neural Machine Translation by Jointly Learning to Align and Translate (1409.0473) . Inspired by cognitive processes and later renamed from "RNNSearch."
Key Idea: A data-dependent weighted average for pooling and communication, enabling flexible and powerful neural network connections.
Breakthrough: Bahdanau's "soft search" mechanism (softmax + weighted averaging) solved encoder-decoder bottlenecks in machine translation.
Transformer Revolution: Attention Is All You Need (1706.03762) (2017) by @ashishvaswanigoogle et al. simplified architectures by stacking attention layers, introducing multi-headed attention and positional encodings.
Legacy: Attention replaced RNNs, driving modern AI systems like ChatGPT. It emerged independently but was influenced by contemporaneous work like Alex Gravesโs Neural Turing Machines (1410.5401) and Jason Westonโs Memory Networks (1410.3916) .
Attention to history: Jรผrgen Schmidhuber claims his 1992 Fast Weight Programmers anticipated modern attention mechanisms. While conceptually similar, the term โattentionโ was absent, and thereโs no evidence it influenced Bahdanau, Cho, and Bengioโs 2014 work. Paying attention (!) to history might have brought us to genAI earlier โ but credit for the breakthrough still goes to Montreal.

Hey!
โจ If you're using HF access tokens, we just released an overview of the permissions for fine-grained tokens by hovering over the badge on token settings page (org and user)
It will show the highest permission you've set for each entity ๐

After some heated discussion ๐ฅ, we clarify our intent re. storage limits on the Hub
TL;DR:
- public storage is free, and (unless blatant abuse) unlimited. We do ask that you consider upgrading to PRO and/or Enterprise Hub if possible
- private storage is paid above a significant free tier (1TB if you have a paid account, 100GB otherwise)
docs: https://huggingface.co./docs/hub/storage-limits
We optimize our infrastructure continuously to scale our storage for the coming years of growth in Machine learning, to the benefit of the community ๐ฅ

Quick update from week 1 of smol course. The community is taking the driving seat and using the material for their own projects. If you want to do the same, join in!
- we have ongoing translation projects in Korean, Vietnamese, Portuguese, and Spanish
- 3 chapters are ready for students. On topics like, instruction tuning, preference alignment, and parameter efficient fine tuning
- 3 chapters are in progress on evaluation, vision language models, and synthetic data.
- around 780 people have forked the repo to use it for learning, teaching, sharing.
โญ๏ธ Next step is to support people that want to use the course for teaching, content creation, internal knowledge sharing, or anything. If you're into this. Drop an issue or PR

Looks like Q4_0_N_M file types are going away
Before you panic, there's a new "preferred" method which is online (I prefer the term on-the-fly) repacking, so if you download Q4_0 and your setup can benefit from repacking the weights into interleaved rows (what Q4_0_4_4 was doing), it will do that automatically and give you similar performance (minor losses I think due to using intrinsics instead of assembly, but intrinsics are more maintainable)
You can see the reference PR here:
https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/pull/10446
So if you update your llama.cpp past that point, you won't be able to run Q4_0_4_4 (unless they add backwards compatibility back), but Q4_0 should be the same speeds (though it may currently be bugged on some platforms)
As such, I'll stop making those newer model formats soon, probably end of this week unless something changes, but you should be safe to download and Q4_0 quants and use those !
Also IQ4_NL supports repacking though not in as many shapes yet, but should get a respectable speed up on ARM chips, PR for that can be found here: https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/pull/10541
Remember, these are not meant for Apple silicon since those use the GPU and don't benefit from the repacking of weights
