ByteDance just dropped SA2VA: a new family of vision LMs combining Qwen2VL/InternVL and SAM2 with MIT license 💗 ByteDance/sa2va-model-zoo-677e3084d71b5f108d00e093

> The models are capable of tasks involving vision-language understanding and visual referrals (referring segmentation) both for images and videos ⏯️

> The models come in 1B, 4B and 8B and are based on InternVL2.5 for base architecture and Qwen2, Qwen2.5 and InternLM2 for language model part (depending on the checkpoint)

> The model is very interesting, it has different encoders for different modalities each (visual prompt, text prompt, image and video) then it concatenates these to feed into LLM 💬

the output segmentation tokens are passed to SAM2, to sort of match text (captions or semantic classes) to masks ⤵️

> Their annotation pipeline is also interesting, they seems to use two open large vision LMs to refine the annotations, and have different levels of descriptions to provide consistency.

That didn't take long! Nomic AI has finetuned the new ModernBERT-base encoder model into a strong embedding model for search, classification, clustering and more!

Details:
🤖 Based on ModernBERT-base with 149M parameters.
📊 Outperforms both nomic-embed-text-v1 and nomic-embed-text-v1.5 on MTEB!
🏎️ Immediate FA2 and unpacking support for super efficient inference.
🪆 Trained with Matryoshka support, i.e. 2 valid output dimensionalities: 768 and 256.
➡️ Maximum sequence length of 8192 tokens!
2️⃣ Trained in 2 stages: unsupervised contrastive data -> high quality labeled datasets.
➕ Integrated in Sentence Transformers, Transformers, LangChain, LlamaIndex, Haystack, etc.
🏛️ Apache 2.0 licensed: fully commercially permissible

Try it out here: nomic-ai/modernbert-embed-base

Very nice work by Zach Nussbaum and colleagues at Nomic AI.

supercharge your LLM apps with smolagents 🔥

however cool your LLM is, without being agentic it can only go so far

enter smolagents: a new agent library by Hugging Face to make the LLM write code, do analysis and automate boring stuff!

Here's our blog for you to get started https://huggingface.co./blog/smolagents

#001 | A journey into open-source Hugging Face Models on Azure AI

December is the month for New Year resolutions - and this year I am determined to write more on Hugging Face. I kept putting this off thinking I wanted to have time to craft perfect long-form articles, but then I discovered we can do quick posts. So why wait till January?

I am a PhD, a Polyglot, a Parent, a Visual Storyteller, a Community Builder - and an AI Advocate at Microsoft. However, if I look back on my 25+ years in tech, what I love most is to help people learn by making complex concepts feel more accessible and actionable regardless of your background or expertise. And in 2025, I want to use a #NityaLearnsAI tagline as a way to share my learning journey, explore the vast space of AI tools and technologies, amplify our open-source community and put the fun back in fundamentals. I hope you find it useful and will join me!

My first post is on this Microsoft Ignite theater session delivered in Nov:
https://ignite.microsoft.com/en-US/sessions/THR502?source=sessions It was not recorded but can find the slides here: https://speakerdeck.com/nitya/thr502-journey-into-open-source-hugging-face-models-on-azure-ai - and the illustrated guide attached below summarizes the talk in one big picture.

At the core, this is about my growing interest in **Model Choice** and learning more about not just frontier models but the much larger ecosystem of open-source variants and the community creators who build them. See:
