🕯️🔥[Candle](github.com/huggingface/...) is now much faster on macOS thanks to a contribution by @EricLBuehler, which brings major speed improvements to the Metal backend.🍎📈
Try it out by running some of our examples with the `--features metal` flag.

I just published part 2 of my article series about creating tensors from scratch in Rust. This one is about view operations.

Qwen 3 is now supported in Candle!
Run the 3-4B model locally with:

```
cargo run --example qwen --release -- --model 3-4b --prompt 'The capital of France is '
```

On macOS, enable Metal for faster inference:

```
--features metal
```

Clone the repo and test it out. github.com/huggingface/...

RIFTS Dataset: Solving Critical LLM Conversation Failures

- LLMs 3x less likely to clarify than humans
- 16x less likely to provide follow-up requests
- Early failures predict later breakdowns
- Includes preliminary intervention strategies

tl;dr: increasing input vocabulary is always good, increasing output vocabularies is good for bigger models.

It’s a green light for the Frugal AI Challenge! 🚀
For the next month, we invite all members of the AI community to participate in one of our 3 AI for Climate tasks, with the goal of developing a highly accurate model while consuming as little energy as possible ⚡

Christmas came early! 🎅🏻 Today marks the newest release of the HuggingChat 🤗 update with some really exciting capabilities! First up, automatic context injection!

1) Open a file in a supported app, summon HFChat, and it pre-populates the context window. No more copy-pasting. /cc @hf.co

Preliminary data shows the Apple Neural Engine uses ~94% less energy than the CPU and ~75% less than the GPU 🤯

On the On-Device team at Hugging Face, we've been profiling energy usage for CoreML models. Here’s some data I collected:
