We have been working on a project called kernels. kernels makes it possible to load compute kernels directly from the Hub! 🚀

We plan to give kernels a more proper introduction soon. But for those who have been following along, we are happy to announce a new release:

- New layer API with torch.compile support.
- Experimental support for loading Apple Silicon Metal 🤘 Kernels.
- Generate wheels from Hub kernels for legacy deployments.

Full release notes here: https://github.com/huggingface/kernels/releases/tag/v0.6.0

If you didn't yet, you should read the technical report for SmolVLA, published yesterday by the Hugging Face robotics team!
➡️ Amongst other ideas, it introduces "Async inference" to boost their robot actions.

Robots have a problem: performing the actions takes time (Unlike agents where action executions are near-instant!)
Most often, robots wait until they've finished performing actions to start thinking about hte next steps. This is a huge latency cost!

So the team decided to have the PolicyServer (aka the"thinking" part) restart early : instead of waiting for the n observations they just sent to be completed, they gather the observations after k < n steps, and start preparing the next actions based on that while the steps are running until n, to directly send their next steps.

➡️ This boosted robot throughput by ~30%! (nearly 2× tasks per time window).

gg @cadene and team! 👏

The Gradio x Agents x MCP hackathon keeps growing! We now have more $1,000,000 in credit for participants and and >$16,000 in cash prizes for winners.

We've kept registration open until the end of this week, so join and let's build cool stuff together as a community: ysharma/gradio-hackathon-registration-2025

This is the story of how open source AI created a $3M business for a news company:

Clare Spencer tells on the GAIN blog how a Danish software engineer found OpenAI's Whisper model and turned it into Good Tape. It's now generating $3M ARR for news service Zetland.

Great playbook on how to build a good product:
- This idea came from a software engineer, Jakob Steinn, who was not only able to spot a new model, but also listen to feedback from his colleagues in the newsrooms (he thought they would use it for translation, but they were more interested in transcription in Danish)
- They built iteratively: they went from running the model in the terminal to a notebook to a full-fledged web interface
- They didn't just wrap the API. They rebuilt the transcription engine from scratch, moved it to TPUs for 45-second processing of hour-long audio, and added EU-based data sovereignty

Now Good Tape has 2.5M users worldwide, with only 30-35% being journalists.
Small languages (Danish, Finnish, Croatian, Hebrew) were underserved by existing tools - suddenly there's a "very very big market" when you put them together.

This shows how open source AI can solve real workflow problems and create sustainable businesses. Sometimes the best opportunities emerge from solving your own daily problems.

🎵 Dream come true for content creators! TIGER AI can extract voice, effects & music from ANY audio file 🤯
This lightweight model uses frequency band-split technology to separate speech like magic. Kudos to @fffiloni for the amazing demo! fffiloni/TIGER-audio-extraction

Just dropped two bigger physics datasets (both on photonics)!

NUMBA 1: SIB-CL
This dataset of Surrogate- and Invariance-Boosted Contrastive Learning (SIB-CL) datasets for two scientific problems:
- PhC2D: 2D photonic crystal density-of-states (DOS) and bandstructure data.
- TISE: 3D time-independent Schrödinger equation eigenvalue and eigenvector solutions.

NUMBA2: 2D Photonic Topology
Symmetry-driven analysis of 2D photonic crystals: 10k random unit cells across 11 symmetries, 2 polarizations, 5 contrasts. Includes time-reversal breaking cases for 4 symmetries at high contrast.

Check them out: cgeorgiaw/sib-cl & cgeorgiaw/2d-photonic-topology

With major model families like Qwen and all of Llama from meta-llama on Xet, the time is right for new users and organizations to say goodbye to LFS on the Hub.

Xet is now the default storage for new AI builders 🚀 🚀 🚀

Just sign up for an account, create a new model or dataset, pip install huggingface_hub and you're off to the races!

Read more here https://huggingface.co/changelog/xet-default-for-new-users

And for everyone with existing repositories, just sign up here https://huggingface.co/join/xet - we'll migrate all existing repositories to Xet and all new repos you create will be Xet-backed by default.
