- After 6+ months in the making and burning over a year of GPU compute time, we're super excited to finally release the "Ultra-Scale Playbook" Check it out here: hf.co/spaces/nanotro… A free, open-source, book to learn everything about 5D parallelism, ZeRO, fast CUDA kernels,
- we've seen nothing yet! hosted a 9-13 yo vibe-coding event w. @robertkeus this w-e (h/t @antonosika @LovableBuild) takeaway? AI is unleashing a generation of wildly creative builders beyond anything I'd have imagined and they grow up *knowing* they can build anything!
00:00Every AI founder I see now is 17 years old I don't know what's happening Good to see they're shipping early - Thrilled to finally share what we've been working on for months at @huggingface 🤝@pollenrobotics Our first robot: Reachy Mini A dream come true: cute and low priced, hackable yet easy to use, powered by open-source and the infinite community. Tiny price, small size, huge
00:00 - There was a super impressive AI competition that happened last week that many people missed in the noise of AI world. I happen to know several participants so let me tell you a bit of this story as a Sunday morning coffee time. You probably know the Millennium Prize Problems
- Finally took time to go over Dario's essay on DeepSeek and export control and to be honest it was quite painful to read. And I say this as a great admirer of Anthropic and big user of Claude* The first half of the essay reads like a lengthy attempt to justify that closed-source
- I shared a controversial take the other day at an event and I decided to write it down in a longer format: I’m afraid AI won't give us a "compressed 21st century". The "compressed 21st century" comes from Dario's "Machine of Loving Grace" and if you haven’t read it, you probably
- we need a billionaire bullish enough to spend 13b per year on nuclear fusion like zuck is doing on the metaverse
- Holy shit, the DeepSeek team went down to built a new file system to train their AI model more efficiently 😱 What’s next?🚀 Day 5 of #OpenSourceWeek: 3FS, Thruster for All DeepSeek Data Access Fire-Flyer File System (3FS) - a parallel file system that utilizes the full bandwidth of modern SSDs and RDMA networks. ⚡ 6.6 TiB/s aggregate read throughput in a 180-node cluster ⚡ 3.66 TiB/min
- Everyone wants to get into robotics. No one knows where to start. LeRobot's Francesco just dropped a 70-page crash course that takes you from zero to cutting-edge: - RL sim/real - ACT, Diffusion policies - VLAs, SmolVLA, Pi-0 Absolute gold if you want to catch up fast.A comprehensive, hands-on tutorial on the most recent advancements in robotics 🤟 ...with self-contained explanations of modern techniques for end-to-end robot learning & ready-to-use code examples using @LeRobotHF and @huggingface. Now available everywhere! 🤗
- The @kyutai_labs fully end-to-end audio model demo of today is a huge deal that many people missed in the room Mostly irrelevant are the facts that: - they come a few week after OpenAI ChatGPT-4o - the demo was less polished than the 4o one (in terms of voice quality, voice
00:00 - 🔥Pytorch-Transformers 1.0🔥 Six NLU/NLG architectures: BERT, GPT, GPT-2, Transfo-XL, XLNet, XLM Total: 27 pretrained models Still the same -Superfast onboarding -SOTA scripts: GLUE, SQuAD, Text generation New -Unified API -Access hidden-states, attentions... -Torchscript -...
- Authors have no say on the animal O'Reilly choose for the cover of their book But I'm really happy that they chose a parrot🦜 for the cover of the book on Transformers we are finalising with Lewis and Leandro It's a Coconut Lorikeet parrot (a very stochastic Coconut Lorikeet😉)
