Anyone using Jan-v1-4B for local MCP-based web search, I highly recommend you try out Intelligent-Internet/II-Search-4B

Very impressed with this lil guy and it deserves more downloads. It's based on the original version of Qwen3-4B but find that it questions reality way less often. Jan-v1 seems to think that everything it sees is synthetic data and constantly gaslights me

Fine-tune Gemma3n on videos with audios inside with Colab A100 🔥
Just dropped the notebook where you can learn how to fine-tune Gemma3n on images+audio+text at the same time!

keep in mind, it's made for educational purposes 🫡 we do LoRA, audio resampling & video downsampling to be able to train <40GB VRAM

stretch modalities and unfreeze layers as you wish! 🙏🏻 merve/smol-vision

Because hackathons are often the starting point for many AI projects, I've created a Python-backend template incorporating my feedback to streamline collaboration and urgent deployments 🏎️

Within a year, I had the opportunity to participate in hackathons organized by Mistral, OpenAI, and DeepMind and this GitHub template is structured around several fundamental building blocks and recommendations I offer developers eager to participate in their first hackathon, whether as part of a team or individually. Its emphasis is on rapid setup and deployment through:
- uv as a package manager, simplifying usage via a series of pre-configured make commands.
- FastAPI for API management, structured in a modular architecture designed to minimize branch conflicts during merges to main branches (using minimal health-check and ping routes to verify Docker’s proper execution and backend accessibility on the local network).
- Pydantic for validation and type handling, which simplifies debugging and enhances understanding of data objects.
- A set of custom instructions tailored for agents (Cline and GitHub Copilot), aimed at improving overall comprehension of the application and optimizing the vibe-coding experience.

This template includes unit tests with a 100% success rate and test coverage, as well as a minimal CI file ensuring that the FastAPI application runs correctly. Thus, merging code that breaks the server into production becomes impossible ⛔️

In general, I would reiterate an essential piece of advice: your two main adversaries are branch conflicts—particularly when the same file is modified concurrently within a brief period, especially if your architecture isn’t built for scalability—and deployment issues under urgent circumstances ⏱️

Link to GitHub: https://github.com/louisbrulenaudet/hackathon-backend

Simply issue these commands and you can ship your code at the speed of light:
make init
make dev

ByteDance released Tar 1.5B and 7B: image-text in image-text out models, fully open-source 👏 ByteDance-Seed/tar-6864cf0d9fe59a3b91cc4260

They have an image tokenizer unified with text, and they de-tokenize using either of two models (LLM and diffusion)
The model is actually a full LLM (Qwen2), the tokenizer converts image tokens 🤯
