AI-powered NPCs (Non-Playable Characters) are one of the most important breakthroughs brought about by the use of LLMs in games. LLMs, or Large Language Models, make it possible to design “intelligent” in-game characters that can engage in realistic conversations with the player, perform complex actions and follow instructions, dramatically enhancing the player’s experience. AI-powered NPCs represent a huge advancement vs rule-based and heuristics systems. Today, we are excited to introduce NPC-Playground, a demo created by Cubzh and Gigax where you […]

In two short years since the advent of diffusion-based image generators, AI image models have achieved near-photographic quality. How do these models compare? Are the open-source alternatives on par with their proprietary counterparts? The Artificial Analysis Text    

We are excited to announce that the new Hugging Face Embedding Container for Amazon SageMaker is now generally available (GA). AWS customers can now efficiently deploy embedding models on SageMaker to build Generative AI applications, including Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)    

We are excited to introduce the RLOO (REINFORCE Leave One-Out) Trainer in TRL. As an alternative to PPO, RLOO is a new online RLHF training algorithm designed to be more accessible and easier to implement. In    

Stable Diffusion 3 (SD3), Stability AI’s latest iteration of the Stable Diffusion family of models, is now available on the Hugging Face Hub and can be used with 🧨 Diffusers. The model released today is Stable Diffusion 3 Medium, with 2B parameters. As part of this release, we have provided: Models on the Hub Diffusers Integration SD3 Dreambooth and LoRA training scripts Table Of Contents

There are two popular implementations of the ZeRO Redundancy Optimizer (Zero) algorithm in the community, one from DeepSpeed and the other from PyTorch. Hugging Face Accelerate exposes both these frameworks for the end users to train/tune their models. This blog highlights the differences between how these backends are exposed through Accelerate. To enable users to seamlessly switch between these backends, we upstreamed a precision-related change and a concept guide. Are    

HumanEval is a reference benchmark for evaluating large language models (LLMs) on code generation tasks, as it makes the evaluation of compact function-level code snippets easy. However, there are growing concerns about its effectiveness in evaluating the programming capabilities of LLMs, and the main concern is that tasks in HumanEval are too simple and may not be representative of real-world programming tasks. Compared to the algorithm-oriented tasks in HumanEval, real-world software development often involves diverse libraries and function calls. Furthermore, […]

Everybody knows that a great visual is worth a thousand words. The team at Prezi, a visual communications software company, is putting this insight into practice with their Prezi presentations that combine images and text in highly dynamic presentations. Prezi has joined the Hugging Face Expert Support Program to fully leverage modern machine learning’s potential. Over the past months, Hugging Face has supported Prezi in integrating smaller, more efficient open-source models into their ML workflows. This cooperation started at a […]

For the past few months, we have been working on the Data Is Better Together initiative. With this collaboration between Hugging Face and Argilla and the support of the open-source ML community, our goal has been to empower the open-source community to create impactful datasets collectively. Now, we have decided to move forward with the same goal. To provide an overview of our achievements and tasks where everyone can contribute, we organized it into two sections: community efforts and cookbook […]

In February, Reddit announced a new content partnership with Google where they would provide data that would power the new Generative AI based search engine using Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG). That attempt did not go as planned, and soon, people were seeing recommendations like adding glue to pizza: In the age of artificial intelligence, massive amounts of data fuel the growth and sophistication of machine learning models. But not all data is created equal; AI systems require high-quality data to […]
