Coming back to Paris Friday to open our new Hugging Face office!

We're at capacity for the party but add your name in the waiting list as we're trying to privatize the passage du Caire for extra space for robots πŸ€–πŸ¦ΎπŸ¦Ώ

πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ί Policy Thoughts in the EU AI Act Implementation πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ί

There is a lot to like in the first draft of the EU GPAI Code of Practice, especially as regards transparency requirements. The Systemic Risks part, on the other hand, is concerning for both smaller developers and for external stakeholders.

I wrote more on this topic ahead of the next draft. TLDR: more attention to immediate large-scale risks and to collaborative solutions supported by evidence can help everyone - as long as developers disclose sufficient information about their design choices and deployment contexts.

Full blog here, based on our submitted response with @frimelle and @brunatrevelin :

Six predictions for AI in 2025 (and a review of how my 2024 predictions turned out):

- There will be the first major public protest related to AI
- A big company will see its market cap divided by two or more because of AI
- At least 100,000 personal AI robots will be pre-ordered
- China will start to lead the AI race (as a consequence of leading the open-source AI race).
- There will be big breakthroughs in AI for biology and chemistry.
- We will begin to see the economic and employment growth potential of AI, with 15M AI builders on Hugging Face.

How my predictions for 2024 turned out:

- A hyped AI company will go bankrupt or get acquired for a ridiculously low price
βœ… (Inflexion, AdeptAI,...)

- Open-source LLMs will reach the level of the best closed-source LLMs
βœ… with QwQ and dozens of others

- Big breakthroughs in AI for video, time-series, biology and chemistry
βœ… for video πŸ”΄for time-series, biology and chemistry

- We will talk much more about the cost (monetary and environmental) of AI
βœ…Monetary πŸ”΄Environmental (😒)

- A popular media will be mostly AI-generated
βœ… with NotebookLM by Google

- 10 millions AI builders on Hugging Face leading to no increase of unemployment
πŸ”œcurrently 7M of AI builders on Hugging Face

Hugging Face is becoming the best place to share the most viral AI apps with spaces.

Kolors Virtual Try-on just crossed 6,000,000 unique visitors & is now the #5 most popular space. Congrats to the Kwai Kolors team!

I've been in Brazil for 10 days now πŸ‡§πŸ‡·πŸ‡§πŸ‡·πŸ‡§πŸ‡·

I've been surprised by the gap between the massive number of people interested in AI (chatgpt adoption is crazy here) and the relatively low number of real AI builders - aka people and companies building their own AI models, datasets and apps.

Lots of efforts needed across the world for everyone to participate, control and benefit this foundational technology, starting with open-source & multi-lingual AI, more access to GPUs & AI builder training for all!

Who's going to get to the most liked model on Hugging Face first: StabilityAI, Meta, Black Forest or someone else? The race is on!

Open-source AI creates healthy competition in a field where natural tendencies lead to extreme concentration of power. Imagine a world where only one or two companies could build software. This is the biggest risk and ethical challenge of them all IMO. Let's fight this!
