The new DeepSite space is really insane for vibe-coders
enzostvs/deepsite
With the wave of vibe-coding-optimized LLMs like the latest open-source DeepSeek model (version V3-0324), you can basically prompt out-of-the-box and create any app and game in one-shot.
It feels so powerful to me, no more complex framework or under-the-hood prompt engineering to have a working text-to-app tool.
AI is eating the world and *open-source* AI is eating AI itself!
PS: and even more meta is that the DeepSite app and DeepSeek model are both fully open-source code => time to start recursively improve?
PPS: you still need some inference hosting unless you're running the 600B param model at home, so check the very nice list of HF Inference Providers for this model: deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3-0324

We've kept pushing our Open-R1 project, an open initiative to replicate and extend the techniques behind DeepSeek-R1.
And even we were mind-blown by the results we got with this latest model we're releasing: ⚡️OlympicCoder ( open-r1/OlympicCoder-7B and open-r1/OlympicCoder-32B)
It's beating Claude 3.7 on (competitive) programming –a domain Anthropic has been historically really strong at– and it's getting close to o1-mini/R1 on olympiad level coding with just 7B parameters!
And the best part is that we're open-sourcing all about its training dataset, the new IOI benchmark, and more in our Open-R1 progress report #3: https://huggingface.co/blog/open-r1/update-3
Datasets are are releasing:
- open-r1/codeforces
- open-r1/codeforces-cots
- open-r1/ioi
- open-r1/ioi-test-cases
- open-r1/ioi-sample-solutions
- open-r1/ioi-cots
- open-r1/ioi-2024-model-solutions

Google just dropped an exciting technical report for the brand-new Gemma3 model! 🚀 Here are my personal notes highlighting the most intriguing architectural innovations, design choices, and insights from this release:
1) Architecture choices:
> No more softcaping, replace by QK-Norm
> Both Pre AND Post Norm
> Wider MLP than Qwen2.5, ~ same depth
> SWA with 5:1 and 1024 (very small and cool ablation on the paper!)
> No MLA to save KV cache, SWA do the job!
2) Long context
> Only increase the rope in the global layer (to 1M)
> Confirmation that it's harder to do long context for smol models, no 128k for the 1B
> Pretrained with 32k context? seems very high
> No yarn nor llama3 like rope extension
3) Distillation
> Only keep te first 256 logits for the teacher
> Ablation on the teacher gap (tl;dr you need some "patience" to see that using a small teacher is better)
> On policy distillation yeahh (by
@agarwl_
et al), not sure if the teacher gap behave the same here, curious if someone have more info?
4) Others
> Checkpoint with QAT, that's very cool
> RL using improve version of BOND, WARM/WARP good excuse to look at
@ramealexandre
papers
> Only use Zero3, no TP/PP if i understand correctly ?
> Training budget relatively similar than gemma2
