New chapter in the Hugging Face NLP course! 🤗 🚀

We've added a new chapter about the very basics of Argilla to the Hugging Face NLP course. Learn how to set up an Argilla instance, load & annotate datasets, and export them to the Hub. 

Any feedback for improvements welcome!

Was 2024 the year of datasets? Is 2025 the year for community-built datasets?

It's exciting to see the progress of many languages in FineWeb-C:
- Total annotations submitted: 41,577
- Languages with annotations: 106
- Total contributors: 363

The finish line is near! We're building FineWeb-Edu for many languages and need your help 🤗

Many FineWeb-C languages are close to 1,000 annotations!

Assamese is 99.4% done, French needs 64 more annotations, Tamil: 216.

Well, around 10 percent of the initial goal is complete, and so far, it's been quite a one-man army effort. We're still in the hunt for more people to join and contribute to this open-source initiative.

I've been building a small library for working with prompt templates on the @huggingface.bsky.social Hub: `pip install prompt-templates`. Motivation:

The community currently shares prompt templates in a wide variety of formats: in datasets, in model cards, as strings in .py files, as .txt/... 🧵

Next week we're launching a collaborative annotation effort to build a big multilingual dataset, so you can have high-quality data in your language.

We are really close to getting leads for 100 languages! Can you help us cover the remaining 200?

For anyone interested in fine-tuning or aligning LLMs, I’m running this free and open course called smol course. It’s not a big deal, it’s just smol.

🙌 I just wanted to share a few thoughts about the latest Argilla release, 2.5.0, as it's a pretty big one!

Argilla now has full support for webhooks, which means you can do some pretty cool stuff, like model training on the fly as annotations are created. 🤯
