Hi HuggingFace community!🤗

I just published an article in which I try to articulate some counter-points to Dario Amodei's post "On DeepSeek and Export Control"👉 https://huggingface.co/blog/as-cle-bert/why-we-dont-need-export-control

I try to address several key passages of the third section from Amodei's post (https://darioamodei.com/on-deepseek-and-export-controls), bringing my perspective on the importance of open source, open knowledge and multipolarity in a crucial field for our future such as Artificial Intelligence.

Happy reading!✨

smolagents can see 🔥
we just shipped vision support to smolagents 🤗 agentic computers FTW

you can now:
💻 let the agent get images dynamically (e.g. agentic web browser)
📑 pass images at the init of the agent (e.g. chatting with documents, filling forms automatically etc)
with few LoC change! 🤯
you can use transformers models locally (like Qwen2VL) OR plug-in your favorite multimodal inference provider (gpt-4o, antrophic & co) 🤠

Introducing scandi-fine-web-cleaner davanstrien/scandi-fine-web-cleaner, the first model trained on FineWeb-C community annotations!

FineWeb2 is a massive multilingual dataset for pre-training language models. Like any web-scale dataset, it contains low-quality content. How can we improve it?

Over the past months, an amazing community of 400+ annotators has been labelling content quality (using Argilla) across 23 languages through the FineWeb-C initiative.

Today, I'm happy to share the first classifier trained on this data.

🔍 What we've built:

- A lightweight classifier that efficiently removes low-quality content
- 90%+ precision demonstrated on Danish & Swedish
- Can process the 43M+ documents in Danish FineWeb2 with minimal compute

🌍 Why this matters: The approach can be reproduced for any of the 23 languages in FineWeb-C ( data-is-better-together/fineweb-c). We can improve training data quality at scale without massive compute resources by starting with community annotations and training small, efficient classifiers.

Want to build a classifier for your language? Check out the full blog post with code examples and implementation details: https://danielvanstrien.xyz/posts/2025/FineWeb-c/scandinavian-content-filtering-fineweb.html

Hi HuggingFace community!🤗

I recently released PrAIvateSearch v2.0-beta.0 (https://github.com/AstraBert/PrAIvateSearch), my privacy-first, AI-powered, user-centered and data-safe application aimed at providing a local and open-source alternative to big AI search engines such as SearchGPT or Perplexity AI.

We have several key changes:

- New chat UI built with NextJS
- DuckDuckGo API used for web search instead of Google
- Qwen/Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct as a language model served on API (by FastAPI)
- Crawl4AI crawler used for web scraping
- Optimizations in the data workflow inside the application

Read more in my blog post 👉 https://huggingface.co/blog/as-cle-bert/search-the-web-with-ai

Have fun and feel free to leave feedback about how to improve the application!✨

The data-is-better-together/fineweb-c dataset is growing!

This week a few more languages have got 1,000 annotations for the educational quality of data from HuggingFaceFW/fineweb-2.

Why should you care?

The quality of pre-training data can have a big impact on the performance of downstream language models trained on that data ( HuggingFaceFW/blogpost-fineweb-v1).

Being able to filter by educational quality is on way of improving the quality of the data you use for training an LLM. Very importantly this approach can also reduce the amount of data needed for pertaining.

Why not use an LLM?

LLMs can be used to annotate educational quality for a subset of data. This data can then be used to train a smaller encoder only model to label the full dataset. However, this may not work well for languages outside of english. This is where fineweb-c (community) comes in.

The community is annotating the educational quality of fineweb2 data. Currently 114 languages have some annotations. These annotations will enable a number of things:

- Evaluate whether an LLM can label the educational quality for texts in that language well
- Directly be used for training quality classifiers
- Help discover other rules and huerisitcs for refining fineweb2 further for different languages.

This week the following languages where done:

Swedish thanks to: @Lauler @AntonVic @ohallstrom @bjarlestam @menbom @Ekgren @apsod

Ukrainian thanks to: @hannayukhymenko @robinhad @realPivo @RabotiahovDmytro @reciprocate

Assamese thanks to: @moyoor97 @Arpanjyoti @nawaf-helmi123 @pahigogoi1 @aelhence @kishorekashyap

Community fine-tuned models are more carbon efficient than the models they are derived from! 🥳🌿

@alozowski @clefourrier @SaylorTwift @albertvillanova evaluated CO₂ emissions associated with model inference for over 3000 models on the Open LLM Leaderboard. Interesting trends and new insights emerged...👀
