I made a real time voice agent with FastRTC, smolagents, and hugging face inference providers. Check it out in this space:

Now the Hugging Face agent course is getting real! With frameworks like smolagents, LlamaIndex, and LangChain.

🔗 Follow the org for updates https://huggingface.co./agents-course

This week we are releasing the first framework unit in the course and it’s on smolagents. This is what the unit covers:

- why should you use smolagents vs another library?
- how to build agents that use code
- build multiagents systems
- use vision language models for browser use

The team has been working flat out on this for a few weeks. Led by @sergiopaniego and supported by smolagents author @m-ric .

🔥 Agents can do anything! @microsoft Research just announced the release of Magma 8B!

Magma is a new Visual Language Model (VLM) with 8B parameters for multi-modal agents designed to handle complex interactions across virtual and real environments; and it's MIT licensed!

Magma comes with exciting new features such as:
- Introduces the Set-of-Mark and Trace-of-Mark techniques for fine-tuning
- Leverages a large amount of unlabeled video data to learn the spatial-temporal grounding and planning
- A strong generalization and ability to be fine-tuned for other agentic tasks
- SOTA in different multi-modal benchmarks spanning across UI navigation, robotics manipulation, image / video understanding and spatial understanding and reasoning
- Generates goal-driven visual plans and actions for agentic use cases

Model: microsoft/Magma-8B
Technical Report: Magma: A Foundation Model for Multimodal AI Agents (2502.13130)

AGENTS + FINETUNING! This week Hugging Face learn has a whole pathway on finetuning for agentic applications. You can follow these two courses to get knowledge on levelling up your agent game beyond prompts:

1️⃣ New Supervised Fine-tuning unit in the NLP Course https://huggingface.co./learn/nlp-course/en/chapter11/1
2️⃣New Finetuning for agents bonus module in the Agents Course https://huggingface.co./learn/agents-course/bonus-unit1/introduction

Fine-tuning will squeeze everything out of your model for how you’re using it, more than any prompt.

NEW COURSE! We’re cooking hard on Hugging Face courses, and it’s not just agents. The NLP course is getting the same treatment with a new chapter on Supervised Fine-Tuning!

👉 Follow to get more updates https://huggingface.co./nlp-course

The new SFT chapter will guide you through these topics:

1️⃣ Chat Templates: Master the art of structuring AI conversations for consistent and helpful responses.

2️⃣ Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT): Learn the core techniques to adapt pre-trained models to your specific outputs.

3️⃣ Low Rank Adaptation (LoRA): Discover efficient fine-tuning methods that save memory and resources.

4️⃣ Evaluation: Measure your model's performance and ensure top-notch results.

This is the first update in a series, so follow along if you’re upskilling in AI.

Hey, I’m Ben and I work at Hugging Face.

Right now, I’m focusing on educational stuff and getting loads of new people to build open AI models using free and open source tools.

I’ve made a collection of some of the tools I’m building and using for teaching. Stuff like quizzes, code challenges, and certificates.

🚀 Find banger tools for your smolagents!

I created the Tools gallery, which makes tools specifically developed by/for smolagents searchable and visible. This will help with:
- inspiration
- best practices
- finding cool tools

SmolLM2 paper is out! 😊

😍 Why do I love it? Because it facilitates teaching and learning!

Over the past few months I've engaged with (no joke) thousands of students based on SmolLM.

- People have inferred, fine-tuned, aligned, and evaluated this smol model.
- People used they're own machines and they've used free tools like colab, kaggle, and spaces.
- People tackled use cases in their job, for fun, in their own language, and with their friends.
