Manic few days in open source AI, with game changing development all over the place. Here's a round up of the resources:

- The science team at @huggingface reproduced and open source the seek r1. https://github.com/huggingface/open-r1
- @qwen released a series of models with 1 million token context! https://qwenlm.github.io/blog/qwen2.5-1m/
- SmolVLM got even smaller with completely new variants at 256m and 500m https://huggingface.co./blog/smolervlm

There's so much you could do with these developments. Especially combining them together into agentic applications or fine-tuning them on your use case.

Hey πŸ‘‹

I'm helping out on some community research to learn about the AI community. If you want to join in the conversation, head over here where I started a community discussion on the most influential model since BERT.

πŸ“£ Teachers and Students! Here's a handy quiz app if you're preparing your own study material.

TLDR, It's a quiz that uses a dataset to make questions and save answers

Here's how it works:

- make a dataset of multiple choice questions
- duplicate the space add set the dataset repo
- log in and do the quiz
- submit the questions to create a new dataset

I made this to get ready for the agents course, but I hope it's useful for you projects too!

🚧 Work in Progress! 🚧

πŸ‘·β€β™€οΈ We're working hard on getting the official agents course ready for the 50,000 students that have signed up.

If you want to contribute to the discussion, I started these community posts. Looking forward to hearing from you:

- smolagents unit in the agents course - agents-course/README#7
- LlamaIndex Unit in the agents course - agents-course/README#6
- LangChain and LangGraph unit in the agents course - agents-course/README#5
- Real world use cases in the agents course - agents-course/README#8

We’re launching a FREE and CERTIFIED course on Agents!

We're thrilled to announce the launch of the Hugging Face Agents course on Learn! This interactive, certified course will guide you through building and deploying your own AI agents.

Here's what you'll learn:

- Understanding Agents: We'll break down the fundamentals of AI agents, showing you how they use LLMs to perceive their environment (observations), reason about it (thoughts), and take actions. Think of a smart assistant that can book appointments, answer emails, or even write code based on your instructions.
- Building with Frameworks: You'll dive into popular agent frameworks like LangChain, LlamaIndex and smolagents. These tools provide the building blocks for creating complex agent behaviors.
- Real-World Applications: See how agents are used in practice, from automating SQL queries to generating code and summarizing complex documents.
- Certification: Earn a certification by completing the course modules, implementing a use case, and passing a benchmark assessment. This proves your skills in building and deploying AI agents.
Audience

This course is designed for anyone interested in the future of AI. Whether you're a developer, data scientist, or simply curious about AI, this course will equip you with the knowledge and skills to build your own intelligent agents.

Enroll today and start building the next generation of AI agent applications!
