clem is an engineer at Hugging Face who posts publicly about open-source AI, robotics and model releases. Recent coverage spans Microduck and Reachy Mini open-source robot pre-orders and shipping, Meta releasing Muse Spark Open weights, non-LLM models such as Embedding Gemma 2, and turning OpenAI math problems into open reinforcement-learning environments.
If you were thinking concentrating AI behind closed doors is safe, it is time to update your priors! [Quoting @lizzadwoskin]: EXCLUSIVE: In less than 12 hours, a group of ex-DOGE cyber researchers were able to penetrate Anthropic’s systems using AI agents — i…
With the explosion of Microduck and Reachy Mini, we'll need more people to join the @pollenrobotics @huggingface teams in all functions. If you're excited about democratizing robotics AI with open-source, my DMs are open!
The only official way to buy Microducks and Reachy Minis is on Given their popularity, a lot of scam websites popped up in the last few days so please be careful. Current orders of Reachy Minis will ship before Christmas so that's the best option if you want…
The @JensenHuang keynote effect on pre-orders. Going to cross 20,000+ total pre-orders probably tomorrow making Microduck probably the most sold robot of 2026?
Frontier labs are advancing the capabilities in AI for biology but preventing the good guys (scientists, academia, non-profits, health agencies,...) to use, study and understand it with widespread but shallow guardrails that the bad guys are bypassing easily…
It feels pretty fitting for @JensenHuang & @nvidia to end their European tour with Microducks on stage. Microduck was designed and engineered in Europe (more precisely Bordeaux, France) by the @pollenrobotics and @huggingface teams. With American capital and…
Just watched the @netflix Instadocs about the @OpenAI cyberattack on @huggingface. Super disappointing, as they went for maximum anthropomorphism of the technology and full doomer mode. I spent more than two hours with them trying to correct all their mistake…
We're sending a bunch of Microducks to assess @AnthropicAI! Kidding aside, it hasn't been approved yet but in my opinion, it's very important that open-source engineers and scientists are included in these important endeavors for transparency. That's a big pa…
llama serve -hf ggml-org/Muse-Spark-Open-816B-A42B-GGUF:Q2_K (on two mac studios). Well done @finkd & @johnternus!
Meta is back! [Quoting @finkd]: Muse Spark Open -- weights releasing today -- runs great on new Mac Studios thanks to work with @johnternus and Apple.
Very cool to see Embedding Gemma 2 by @Google, number on trending on HF! The media and silicon valley bubble only talks about reasoning LLMs when there is a much bigger variety of AI models that are super impactful and useful like embeddings, decision models,…
If you’re a researcher, please consider sharing your RL environments openly! Something you built for one experiment could help the entire field move forward. I know we’re in dark days for sharing from frontier labs in the US, but I believe this can have a hug…
We turned @OpenAI's math problems into open-source RL environments on @huggingface! Early and rough (the verifier only accepts the exact original formalization, so an equivalent proof can still score 0), but this is what it looks like when a research release…
We urgently need more public traces of AI agents attacking and defending systems. Defenders can’t learn from what they can’t see. If you have traces and are being pressured to keep them private, my DMs are open. Let’s level the playing field and fight the asy…
If you need any more evidence about how exciting local AI (and llamacpp) is! From the @Microsoft windows launch today with @satyanadella @sriramk @JensenHuang
Super excited about this and I know weights are coming ( but just to be fair, you can't be the best open-weight model if you're not open-weight yet! [Quoting @MistralAI]: Meet Mistral Large 4, aka Le Chonk. • 1T parameters, natively multimodal. 49B active. It…
Let's go [Quoting @reflection_ai]: Introducing Beam: a highly efficient agentic open model with 501B total parameters and 23B active. - Frontier reasoning efficiency - Advances the Western open frontier on coding & agentic tasks - Trained end-to-end from scra…
Clef from @Cloudflare is number trending on HF!
We turned Claude Code, Codex, Hermes, Pi, @opencode and other coding harnesses into RL environments. No changes to the harnesses, no changes to the training code. Any open model, any task set, fully open source my friends! Same model, same weights: 62% under…
Decision models now run on device in llama.cpp. Free, fast, private! llama serve -hf ggml-org/Kev-4B-GGUF
would love to see what the microduck production and assembly line looks like! Our next robot should have arms so that it can participate in the production of microducks 😅😅😅 [Quoting @pollenrobotics]: The Microduck adventure continues, and the shipping date…
I got thousands of DMs and it looks like @bot can't automatically analyze DMs (when @elonmusk?) so it will take me a few days to go through all of them, sorry! If you don't get an answer, don't take it as a judgment (again thousands of applications so I'll fo…
Very cool to see Microduck making an appearance at @OpenAI Dev Days with @romainhuet!
getting acquired by @nvidia = hugging face can now hire people we couldn't as a small startup and give them a decade to make open-source AI win! if you're one of them, my dms are open
Congrats @LisaSu @drfeifei @theworldlabs. Can’t wait to see what you’ll build in the coming years! [Quoting @LisaSu]: So excited to welcome @theworldlabs and @drfeifei to the @AMD family! I’ve always been a huge fan of Fei-Fei and her pioneering research in A…
From what we know (take with a grain of salt, we need much more transparency!), if @OpenAI had been running this on their own agents that attacked us, they would have caught them before we did! Since the first agent cyberattack hit us in July, we've been aski…
Open-source RL envs for the win. On Hugging Face of course! [Quoting @HarveenChadha]: was looking for a quiet weekend but xiaomi dropped their rl envs repo last night to put in perspective, if you have to buy some tasks like this its usually hundred to thousa…
Open Alignment will be 🔥🔥🔥 (sound on)! Flying began as one of the most dangerous ways to travel, today it's the safest. It's time to build!
Super happy to release SmolDataEnvs: 5,000 verifiable RL environment tasks for hill-climbing small models in code and data science by @adithya_s_k 100% open source: environments, evals, training!
I like this article! The problem is not for some people to care and work on catastrophic risks (we actually need much more research into it), it’s when company leaders and policymakers use fears of them to distract and hide the current challenges and solution…
