Perfect example of why
Qwen/Qwen2.5-Coder-32B-Instruct is insane?
Introducing: AI Video Composer 🔥
huggingface-projects/ai-video-composer
Drag and drop your assets (images/videos/audios) to create any video you want using natural language!
It works by asking the model to output a valid FFMPEG and this can be quite complex but most of the time Qwen2.5-Coder-32B gets it right (that thing is a beast). It's an update of an old project made with GPT4 and it was almost impossible to make it work with open models back then (~1.5 years ago), but not anymore, let's go open weights 🚀.

Let's go! We are releasing SmolVLM, a smol 2B VLM built for on-device inference that outperforms all models at similar GPU RAM usage and tokens throughputs.
- SmolVLM generates tokens 7.5 to 16 times faster than Qwen2-VL! 🤯
- Other models at this size crash a laptop, but SmolVLM comfortably generates 17 tokens/sec on a macbook! 🚀
- SmolVLM can be fine-tuned on a Google collab! Or process millions of documents with a consumer GPU!
- SmolVLM even outperforms larger models in video benchmarks, despite not even being trained on videos!
Check out more!
Demo: HuggingFaceTB/SmolVLM
Blog: https://huggingface.co/blog/smolvlm
Model: HuggingFaceTB/SmolVLM-Instruct
Fine-tuning script: https://github.com/huggingface/smollm/blob/main/finetuning/Smol_VLM_FT.ipynb

The authors of ColPali trained a retrieval model based on SmolVLM 🤠
vidore/colsmolvlm-alpha
TLDR;
- ColSmolVLM performs better than ColPali and DSE-Qwen2 on all English tasks
- ColSmolVLM is more memory efficient than ColQwen2 💗

First dataset for the new Hugging Face Bluesky community organisation:
bluesky-community/one-million-bluesky-posts 🦋
📊 1M public posts from Bluesky's firehose API
🔍 Includes text, metadata, and language predictions
🔬 Perfect to experiment with using ML for Bluesky 🤗
Excited to see people build more open tools for a more open social media platform!

Let’s make a generation of amazing image-generation models
The best image generation models are trained on human preference datasets, where annotators have selected the best image from a choice of two. Unfortunately, many of these datasets are closed source so the community cannot train open models on them. Let’s change that!
The community can contribute image preferences for an open-source dataset that could be used for building AI models that convert text to image, like the flux or stable diffusion families. The dataset will be open source so everyone can use it to train models that we can all use.

When the XetHub crew joined Hugging Face this fall,
@erinys
and I started brainstorming how to share our work to replace Git LFS on the Hub. Uploading and downloading large models and datasets takes precious time. That’s where our chunk-based approach comes in.
Instead of versioning files (like Git and Git LFS), we version variable-sized chunks of data. For the Hugging Face community, this means:
⏩ Only upload the chunks that changed.
🚀 Download just the updates, not the whole file.
🧠 We store your file as deduplicated chunks
In our benchmarks, we found that using CDC to store iterative model and dataset version led to transfer speedups of ~2x, but this isn’t just a performance boost. It’s a rethinking of how we manage models and datasets on the Hub.
We're planning on our new storage backend to the Hub in early 2025 - check out our blog to dive deeper, and let us know: how could this improve your workflows?
