AI for scientific discovery is a social problem: In our new position paper, @cgeorgiaw.bsky.social and I show that culture, incentives, and coordination are the main obstacles to progress, and we are launching the Hugging Science Initiative to address this!

In April, there were 1,000 Hugging Face repos on Xet. Now every repo (over 6M) on the Hub is on Xet.

Ever thought that finetuning rerankers for your search system wasn't worth it? Think again.
I finetuned ModernBERT on my dataset, TriviaQA, just on my normal PC in a few hours. It outperforms all open models on the market on my eval set.
Finetuning is so worth it.

Yes, DeepSeek R1's release is impressive. But the real story is what happened in just 7 days after:
Original release: 8 models, 540K downloads. Just the beginning...
The community turned those open-weight models into +550 NEW models on @huggingface. Total downloads? 2.5M—nearly 5X the originals.
