I was chatting with
@peakji
, one of the cofounders of Manu AI, who told me he was on Hugging Face (very cool!).
He shared an interesting insight which is that agentic capabilities might be more of an alignment problem rather than a foundational capability issue. Similar to the difference between GPT-3 and InstructGPT, some open-source foundation models are simply trained to 'answer everything in one response regardless of the complexity of the question' - after all, that's the user preference in chatbot use cases. Just a bit of post-training on agentic trajectories can make an immediate and dramatic difference.
As a thank you to the community, he shared 100 invite code first-come first serve, just use “HUGGINGFACE” to get access!

Super happy to welcome Nvidia as our latest enterprise hub customer. They have almost 2,000 team members using Hugging Face, and close to 20,000 followers of their org. Can't wait to see what they'll open-source for all of us in the coming months!

We crossed 1B+ tokens routed to inference providers partners on HF, that we released just a few days ago.
Just getting started of course but early users seem to like it & always happy to be able to partner with cool startups in the ecosystem.
Have you been using any integration and how can we make it better?

From ancient medical ethics to modern AI challenges, the journey of consent represents one of humanity's most fascinating ethical evolutions. In my latest blog post, I explore how we've moved from medical paternalism to a new frontier where AI capabilities force us to rethink consent.
The "consent gap" in AI is real: while we can approve initial data use, AI systems can generate countless unforeseen applications of our personal information. It's like signing a blank check without knowing all possible amounts that could be filled in.
Should we reimagine consent for the AI age? Perhaps we need dynamic consent systems that evolve alongside AI capabilities, similar to how healthcare transformed from physician-centered authority to patient autonomy.
Curious to hear your thoughts: how can we balance technological innovation with meaningful user sovereignty over digital identity?

💫...And we're live!💫 Seasonal newsletter from ethicsy folks at Hugging Face, exploring the ethics of "AI Agents"
https://huggingface.co/blog/ethics-soc-7
Our analyses found:
- There's a spectrum of "agent"-ness
- *Safety* is a key issue, leading to many other value-based concerns
Read for details & what to do next!

🤗👤 💻 Speaking of AI agents ...
...Is easier with the right words ;)
My colleagues @meg @evijit @sasha and @giadap just published a wonderful blog post outlining some of the main relevant notions with their signature blend of value-informed and risk-benefits contrasting approach. Go have a read!

Community fine-tuned models are more carbon efficient than the models they are derived from! 🥳🌿
@alozowski @clefourrier @SaylorTwift @albertvillanova evaluated CO₂ emissions associated with model inference for over 3000 models on the Open LLM Leaderboard. Interesting trends and new insights emerged...👀
