Heading to WEF Davos next week? @hf.co CSO @thomwolf.bsky.social, Head of Research @lvwerra.bsky.social and Head of Global Policy Irene Solaiman will be there to join global discussions on responsible AI development and open source. Who should they meet? 🤗

It's day 3 of the @hf.co & AI World EU data drop! Up on the docket, too fast & too furious cumulative likes in relation to model releases, highlighting 2024's furious competition and AI's rapid progress. 🏎️🏎️🏎️💨💨💨

Ok so my work wife @sashamtl.bsky.social is all about butterflies, but turns out I’m all about the shroomies. 🦋🍄 Sympatico 🧠

At HF we prioritize async work over calls/meetings. Today was a rare day for me of 3 back-to-back meetings, but I'm happy to report that I received compliments on my sweater in each of them. Happy hat-trick Friday to me! 🍄🍄🍄

Another tiny but mighty! 🐁💪 Say hello to SmolVLM, an itty bitty 2b VLM built for on-device, outperforming comparable models.

s/o to @andimara.bsky.social for leading this project for Hugging Face!

Tis the season: dehydrating citrus for ornaments, cocktails, etc etc. 🔪 🍊 🎄

Can we add whatever this abomination is?

Fun fact @pngwn.at: Canadians used to get milk delivered exclusively in bags, and Big Cocoa provided us with these jugs. I was drinking microplastics way before it was cool.
