There seems to multiple paid apps shared here that are based on models on hf, but some ppl sell their wrappers as "products" and promote them here. For a long time, hf was the best and only platform to do oss model stuff but with the recent AI website builders anyone can create a product (really crappy ones btw) and try to sell it with no contribution to oss stuff. Please dont do this, or try finetuning the models you use...
Sorry for filling yall feed with this bs but yk...

Hey Guys! One Small Announcement 🤗
Stranger Zone now accepts LoRA requests!

✍️Request : strangerzonehf/Request-LoRA [ or ] strangerzonehf/Request-LoRA#1

Page : https://huggingface.co/strangerzonehf

Describe the artistic properties by posting sample images or links to similar images in the request discussion. If the adapters you're asking for are truly creative and safe for work, I'll train and upload the LoRA to the Stranger Zone repo!

Thank you!

The open LLM leaderboard is completed, retired, dead, ‘ascended to a higher plane’. And in its shadow we have an amazing range of leaderboards built and maintained by the community.

In this post, I just want to list some of those great leaderboards that you should bookmark for staying up to date:

- Chatbot Arena LLM Leaderboard is the first port of call for checking out the best model. It’s not the fastest because humans will need to use the models to get scores, but it’s worth the wait. lmarena-ai/chatbot-arena-leaderboard

- OpenVLM Leaderboard is great for getting scores on vision language models opencompass/open_vlm_leaderboard

- Ai2 are doing a great job on RewardBench and I hope they keep it up because reward models are the unsexy workhorse of the field. allenai/reward-bench

- The GAIA leaderboard is great for evaluating agent applications. gaia-benchmark/leaderboard

🤩 This seems like such a sustainable way of building for the long term, where rather than leaning on a single company to evaluate all LLMs, we share the load.

🤯 Gemma 3's image analysis blew me away!

Tested 2 ways to extract airplane registration numbers from photos with 12B model:

1️⃣ Gradio app w/API link (underrated feature IMO) + ZeroGPU infra on Hugging Face in Google Colab. Fast & free.

2️⃣ LMStudio + local processing (100% private). Running this powerhouse on a MacBook w/16GB RAM is wild! 🚀

Still speed running Gemma 3 to think. Today I focused on setting up gpu poor hardware to run GRPO.

This is a plain TRL and PEFT notebook which works on mac silicone or colab T4. This uses the 1b variant of Gemma 3 and a reasoning version of GSM8K dataset.

🧑‍🍳 There’s more still in the oven like releasing models, an Unsloth version, and deeper tutorials, but hopefully this should bootstrap your projects.

Here’s a link to the 1b notebook: https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1mwCy5GQb9xJFSuwt2L_We3eKkVbx2qSt?usp=sharing

everybody and their dog is fine-tuning Gemma 3 today, so I thought I'd do a longer post on the tips and sharp edges I find. let's go!

1. has to be install everything form main and nightly. this is what I'm working with to get unsloth and TRL running

git+https://github.com/huggingface/transformers@main
git+https://github.com/huggingface/trl.git@main
bitsandbytes
peft


plus this with --no-deps

git+https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth-zoo.git@nightly
git+https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth.git@nightly


2. will brown's code to turn GSM8k into a reasoning dataset is a nice toy experiment https://gist.github.com/willccbb/4676755236bb08cab5f4e54a0475d6fb

3. with a learning rate of 5e-6 rewards and loss stayed flat for the first 100 or so steps.

4. so far none of my runs have undermined the outputs after 1 epoch. therefore, I'm mainly experimenting with bigger LoRA adapters.

from trl import GRPOConfig

training_args = GRPOConfig(
    learning_rate = 5e-6,
    adam_beta1 = 0.9,
    adam_beta2 = 0.99,
    weight_decay = 0.1,
    warmup_ratio = 0.1,
    lr_scheduler_type = "cosine",
    optim = "adamw_8bit",
    logging_steps = 1,
    per_device_train_batch_size = 2,
    gradient_accumulation_steps = 1,
    num_generations = 2,
    max_prompt_length = 256,
    max_completion_length = 1024 - 256,
    num_train_epochs = 1,
    max_steps = 250,
    save_steps = 250,
    max_grad_norm = 0.1,
    report_to = "none",
)


5. vision fine-tuning isn't available in TRL's GRPOTrainer, so stick to text datasets. but no need to load the model differently in transformers or Unsloth

from transformers import AutoModelForImageTextToText

model = AutoModelForImageTextToText.from_pretrained("google/gemma-3-4b-it)


if you want an introduction to GRPO, check out the reasoning course, it walks you through the algorithm, theory, and implementation in a smooth way.

Gemma 3 seems to be really good at human preference. Just waiting for ppl to see it.

Ever wanted 45 min with one of AI’s most fascinating minds? Was with @thomwolf at HumanX Vegas. Sharing my notes of his Q&A with the press—completely changed how I think about AI’s future:

1️⃣ The next wave of successful AI companies won’t be defined by who has the best model but by who builds the most useful real-world solutions. "We all have engines in our cars, but that’s rarely the only reason we buy one. We expect it to work well, and that’s enough. LLMs will be the same."

2️⃣ Big players are pivoting: "Closed-source companies—OpenAI being the first—have largely shifted from LLM announcements to product announcements."

3️⃣ Open source is changing everything: "DeepSeek was open source AI’s ChatGPT moment. Basically, everyone outside the bubble realized you can get a model for free—and it’s just as good as the paid ones."

4️⃣ Product innovation is being democratized: Take Manus, for example—they built a product on top of Anthropic’s models that’s "actually better than Anthropic’s own product for now, in terms of agents." This proves that anyone can build great products with existing models.

We’re entering a "multi-LLM world," where models are becoming commoditized, and all the tools to build are readily available—just look at the flurry of daily new releases on Hugging Face.

Thom's comparison to the internet era is spot-on: "In the beginning you made a lot of money by making websites... but nowadays the huge internet companies are not the companies that built websites. Like Airbnb, Uber, Facebook, they just use the internet as a medium to make something for real life use cases."

Love to hear your thoughts on this shift!

Here’s a notebook to make Gemma reason with GRPO & TRL. I made this whilst prepping the next unit of the reasoning course:

In this notebooks I combine together google’s model with some community tooling

- First, I load the model from the Hugging Face hub with transformers’s latest release for Gemma 3
- I use PEFT and bitsandbytes to get it running on Colab
- Then, I took Will Browns processing and reward functions to make reasoning chains from GSM8k
- Finally, I used TRL’s GRPOTrainer to train the model

Next step is to bring Unsloth AI in, then ship it in the reasoning course. Links to notebook below.

🔥The Open R1 team just dropped OlympicCoder and it's wild:

- 7B model outperforms Claude 3.7 Sonnet on IOI benchmark (yes, 7B!!)
- 32B crushes all open-weight models tested, even those 100x larger 🤯

Open-sourcing the future of code reasoning! 🚀

Honored to be named among their 12 pioneers and power players in the news industry in the 2025 Tech Trends Report from Future Today Strategy Group.

Incredible group to be part of - each person is doing groundbreaking work at the intersection of AI and journalism. Worth following them all: they're consistently sharing practical insights on building the future of news.

Take the time to read this report, it's packed with insights as always. The news & information section's #1 insight hits hard: "The most substantive economic impact of AI to date has been licensing payouts for a handful of big publishers. The competition will start shifting in the year ahead to separate AI 'haves' that have positioned themselves to grow from the 'have-nots.'"

This AI-driven divide is something I've been really concerned about. Now is the time to build more than ever!

AI will bring us "a country of yes-men on servers" instead of one of "Einsteins sitting in a data center" if we continue on current trends.

Must-read by @thomwolf deflating overblown AI promises and explaining what real scientific breakthroughs require.

It took me a while, but I've finally got it working: ZennyKenny/note-to-text

Using a Meta LLaMa checkpoint from Unsloth and some help from the HF community, you can capture handwritten notes and convert them into digital format in just a few second.

Really exciting times for AI builders on Hugging Face.
