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 believe the risk is coming from 1-3 people in a garage with no money and no compute, you just don't understand this technology and haven't learned anything this summer. Risk comes from the asymmetry of capabilities created by secret labs training front…
Training models is becoming easier and easier - just look at this and TRL - especially with agents! You're missing out if you're still using off the shelf models for all your tasks! [Quoting @whitecircle]: Introducing Halo, the best framework for post-trainin…
Banger! [Quoting @ArtificialAnlys]: MiMo-V2.6-Pro debuts as the top open weights model on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index (46). At $0.13 per Intelligence Index task, it lands on the Intelligence vs. Cost per Task Pareto frontier @Xiaomi has just re…
The number one trending model on HF is an open-source multilingual system 1 decision model, just a few days after Jev started trending. The open-source AI community is awesome!
lots of them! Reality is that LLM APIs are far from being the best way to do AI for 90% of use cases in the real world (they're too overkill, slow, expensive, hard to control,...). We will discover that in the coming years as AI matures and gets adopted widel…
Most companies that shut down give up their impact. This startup did something much better: they open-sourced 1,274 hours of egocentric robotics data. 13,451 recordings of humans doing everyday tasks, as a gift to the robotics community. Thank you @eidon_ai!…
In biology, like in cybersecurity, we’ll learn in the coming years that most of the risk is concentrated and created by the few most powerful labs and that open-source AI is the solution and mitigation of this risk!
Concentration of power in a few labs is the biggest risk in AI in my opinion [Quoting @dwarkesh_sp]: I’m very concerned that during RSI, labs will just stop externally deploying their models. Which means they'll be going full steam ahead on the most dangerous…
As the first publicly disclosed agent cyberattack victim, we've had a front-row seat to this new risk. I formalized my thinking about it below. I'll be in DC tomorrow to share more with policymakers and at decoded summit by @politico!
It's now clear that alignment is critical and won't be solved behind the closed doors of a handful of frontier labs. So today we're launching the Open Alignment Initiative, led by @Thom_Wolf @huggingface and asking to be part of the "embedded evaluators" prog…
It's now clear that: - alignment is critical to making AI safe - alignment won't be solved behind the closed doors of a handful of frontier labs So we're taking two steps: - launching the Open Alignment Initiative, led by @Thom_Wolf @huggingface. - asking to…
Sorry, but asking Jacob about AI extinction risk is like asking your AC guy about climate change. Not saying it's necessarily uninteresting or wrong per se but let’s keep things in perspective and hear from the full range of expertise across the ecosystem!
There’s almost no serious research on existential risks of AI. Why? Maybe this could be a first step? [Quoting @DFintelligence]: Je viens de passer 2 h à scruter la littérature scientifique sur les risques d’extinction de l’humanité par l’IA. Hormis le fait q…
We need 100x more transparency in AI!!!
If they truly believe the risk is that high, and I think they do, then we need 100x more research and understanding of it. That requires them to openly share their models, datasets, training code, and agent traces. [Quoting @EvanHub]: Jacob is correct here—we…
Let's go local AI! At a time when everyone is complaining about shortages of energy and compute for AI & costs of tokens, we need on-device AI more than ever! In addition, it's virtually free & fully privacy preserving! [Quoting @desertantlabs]: Today…
Open hardware from @huggingface ( + frontier AI = 🔥🔥🔥 [Quoting @cdngdev]: i gave astra a robot, a paint brush, and a camera then asked it to paint the golden gate bridge in real life! it figured out how to control the robot, and progressively got better th…
Bravo to Mistral! So great to see them killing it, they are an inspiration to everyone as we need more sovereign & open-source AI everywhere around the world. Excited to keep supporting them on [Quoting @MistralAI]: Today marks a major step for Mistral: w…
