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.

upvote the paper SmolLM2: When Smol Goes Big -- Data-Centric Training of a Small Language Model (2502.02737)

tldr; Parquet is awesome, DuckDB too!

Datasets on the Hugging Face Hub rely on parquet files. We can interact with these files using DuckDB as a fast in-memory database system. One of DuckDB’s features is vector similarity search which can be used with or without an index.
