New (06/2023): This blog post is strongly inspired by “Fine-tuning XLS-R on Multi-Lingual ASR” and can be seen as an improved version of it. Wav2Vec2 is a pretrained model for Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) and was released in September 2020 by Alexei Baevski, Michael Auli, and Alex Conneau. Soon    

On June 12th, Hugging Face submitted a response to the US Department of Commerce NTIA    

We are thrilled to announce the collaboration between Panel and Hugging Face! 🎉 We have integrated a Panel template in Hugging Face Spaces to help you get started building Panel apps and deploy them on Hugging Face effortlessly.

Recently an interesting discussion arose on Twitter following the release of Falcon 🦅 and its addition to the Open LLM Leaderboard, a public leaderboard comparing open access large language models. The discussion centered around one of the four evaluations displayed on the leaderboard: a benchmark for measuring Massive Multitask Language Understanding (shortname: MMLU). The community was surprised that MMLU evaluation numbers of the current top model on the leaderboard, the LLaMA model 🦙, were significantly lower than the numbers in […]

Update (29/08/2023): A benchmark on H100 was added to this blog post. Also, all performance numbers have been updated with newer versions of software. Optimum Habana v1.7 on Habana Gaudi2 achieves x2.5 speedups compared to A100 and x1.4 compared to H100 when fine-tuning BridgeTower, a state-of-the-art vision-language model. This performance improvement relies on hardware-accelerated data loading to make the    

In this conversation, Jeff Boudier asks Waseem Alshikh, Co-founder and CTO of Writer, about their journey from a Hugging Face user, to a customer and now an open source model contributor. why was Writer started? what are the    

As more code generation models become publicly available, it is now possible to do text-to-web and even text-to-app in ways that we couldn’t imagine before. This tutorial presents a direct approach to AI web content generation by streaming and rendering the content all in one go. Try the live demo here! → Webapp Factory

Open-source LLMs like Falcon, (Open-)LLaMA, X-Gen, StarCoder or RedPajama, have come a long way in recent months and can compete with closed-source models like ChatGPT or GPT4 for certain use cases. However, deploying these models in an efficient and optimized way still presents a challenge. In this blog post, we will show you how to deploy open-source    

In this blog post, I’ll show you how I made Doodle Dash, a real-time ML-powered web game that runs completely in your browser (thanks to Transformers.js). The goal of this tutorial is to show you how easy it is to make your own ML-powered web game… just in time for the upcoming Open Source AI Game Jam (7-9 July 2023).
