People are flexing their end of year stats, so I made this app to show hub stats in a tidy design!

Thanks @Ameeeee and @jfcalvo for the feature from Argilla!

TL;DR: The Story of Attention's Development by @karpathy

Origin: First proposed in 2014 by @Dzmitry Bahdanau, @KyunghyunCho , and Yoshua Bengio in Neural Machine Translation by Jointly Learning to Align and Translate (1409.0473) . Inspired by cognitive processes and later renamed from "RNNSearch."

Key Idea: A data-dependent weighted average for pooling and communication, enabling flexible and powerful neural network connections.

Breakthrough: Bahdanau's "soft search" mechanism (softmax + weighted averaging) solved encoder-decoder bottlenecks in machine translation.
Transformer Revolution: Attention Is All You Need (1706.03762) (2017) by @ashishvaswanigoogle et al. simplified architectures by stacking attention layers, introducing multi-headed attention and positional encodings.
Legacy: Attention replaced RNNs, driving modern AI systems like ChatGPT. It emerged independently but was influenced by contemporaneous work like Alex Gravesโ€™s Neural Turing Machines (1410.5401) and Jason Westonโ€™s Memory Networks (1410.3916) .

Attention to history: Jรผrgen Schmidhuber claims his 1992 Fast Weight Programmers anticipated modern attention mechanisms. While conceptually similar, the term โ€œattentionโ€ was absent, and thereโ€™s no evidence it influenced Bahdanau, Cho, and Bengioโ€™s 2014 work. Paying attention (!) to history might have brought us to genAI earlier โ€“ but credit for the breakthrough still goes to Montreal.

Public storage- y'all ... HF are you nuts?

i can neither confirm nor deny

Hey!

โœจ If you're using HF access tokens, we just released an overview of the permissions for fine-grained tokens by hovering over the badge on token settings page (org and user)

It will show the highest permission you've set for each entity ๐Ÿ‘€

After some heated discussion ๐Ÿ”ฅ, we clarify our intent re. storage limits on the Hub

TL;DR:
- public storage is free, and (unless blatant abuse) unlimited. We do ask that you consider upgrading to PRO and/or Enterprise Hub if possible
- private storage is paid above a significant free tier (1TB if you have a paid account, 100GB otherwise)

docs: https://huggingface.co./docs/hub/storage-limits

We optimize our infrastructure continuously to scale our storage for the coming years of growth in Machine learning, to the benefit of the community ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Quick update from week 1 of smol course. The community is taking the driving seat and using the material for their own projects. If you want to do the same, join in!

- we have ongoing translation projects in Korean, Vietnamese, Portuguese, and Spanish
- 3 chapters are ready for students. On topics like, instruction tuning, preference alignment, and parameter efficient fine tuning
- 3 chapters are in progress on evaluation, vision language models, and synthetic data.
- around 780 people have forked the repo to use it for learning, teaching, sharing.

โญ๏ธ Next step is to support people that want to use the course for teaching, content creation, internal knowledge sharing, or anything. If you're into this. Drop an issue or PR

Looks like Q4_0_N_M file types are going away

Before you panic, there's a new "preferred" method which is online (I prefer the term on-the-fly) repacking, so if you download Q4_0 and your setup can benefit from repacking the weights into interleaved rows (what Q4_0_4_4 was doing), it will do that automatically and give you similar performance (minor losses I think due to using intrinsics instead of assembly, but intrinsics are more maintainable)

You can see the reference PR here:

https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/pull/10446

So if you update your llama.cpp past that point, you won't be able to run Q4_0_4_4 (unless they add backwards compatibility back), but Q4_0 should be the same speeds (though it may currently be bugged on some platforms)

As such, I'll stop making those newer model formats soon, probably end of this week unless something changes, but you should be safe to download and Q4_0 quants and use those !

Also IQ4_NL supports repacking though not in as many shapes yet, but should get a respectable speed up on ARM chips, PR for that can be found here: https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/pull/10541

Remember, these are not meant for Apple silicon since those use the GPU and don't benefit from the repacking of weights

We just dropped an LLM inside the SQL Console ๐Ÿคฏ

The amazing, new Qwen/Qwen2.5-Coder-32B-Instruct model can now write SQL for any Hugging Face dataset โœจ

It's 2025, you shouldn't be hand writing SQL! This is a big step in making it where anyone can do in depth analysis on a dataset. Let us know what you think ๐Ÿค—
