I’m super excited to work with
@mlabonne
to build the first practical example in the reasoning course.
🔗 https://huggingface.co./reasoning-course
Here's a quick walk through of the first drop of material that works toward the use case:
- a fundamental introduction to reinforcement learning. Answering questions like, ‘what is a reward?’ and ‘how do we create an environment for a language model?’
- Then it focuses on Deepseek R1 by walking through the paper and highlighting key aspects. This is an old school way to learn ML topics, but it always works.
- Next, it takes to you Transformers Reinforcement Learning and demonstrates potential reward functions you could use. This is cool because it uses Marimo notebooks to visualise the reward.
- Finally, Maxime walks us through a real training notebook that uses GRPO to reduce generation length. I’m really into this because it works and Maxime took the time to validate it share assets and logging from his own runs for you to compare with.
Maxime’s work and notebooks have been a major part of the open source community over the last few years. I, like everyone, have learnt so much from them.

Now the Hugging Face agent course is getting real! With frameworks like smolagents, LlamaIndex, and LangChain.
🔗 Follow the org for updates https://huggingface.co./agents-course
This week we are releasing the first framework unit in the course and it’s on smolagents. This is what the unit covers:
- why should you use smolagents vs another library?
- how to build agents that use code
- build multiagents systems
- use vision language models for browser use
The team has been working flat out on this for a few weeks. Led by @sergiopaniego and supported by smolagents author @m-ric .

AGENTS + FINETUNING! This week Hugging Face learn has a whole pathway on finetuning for agentic applications. You can follow these two courses to get knowledge on levelling up your agent game beyond prompts:
1️⃣ New Supervised Fine-tuning unit in the NLP Course https://huggingface.co./learn/nlp-course/en/chapter11/1
2️⃣New Finetuning for agents bonus module in the Agents Course https://huggingface.co./learn/agents-course/bonus-unit1/introduction
Fine-tuning will squeeze everything out of your model for how you’re using it, more than any prompt.

NEW COURSE! We’re cooking hard on Hugging Face courses, and it’s not just agents. The NLP course is getting the same treatment with a new chapter on Supervised Fine-Tuning!
👉 Follow to get more updates https://huggingface.co./nlp-course
The new SFT chapter will guide you through these topics:
1️⃣ Chat Templates: Master the art of structuring AI conversations for consistent and helpful responses.
2️⃣ Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT): Learn the core techniques to adapt pre-trained models to your specific outputs.
3️⃣ Low Rank Adaptation (LoRA): Discover efficient fine-tuning methods that save memory and resources.
4️⃣ Evaluation: Measure your model's performance and ensure top-notch results.
This is the first update in a series, so follow along if you’re upskilling in AI.

Hey, I’m Ben and I work at Hugging Face.
Right now, I’m focusing on educational stuff and getting loads of new people to build open AI models using free and open source tools.
I’ve made a collection of some of the tools I’m building and using for teaching. Stuff like quizzes, code challenges, and certificates.

SmolLM2 paper is out! 😊
😍 Why do I love it? Because it facilitates teaching and learning!
Over the past few months I've engaged with (no joke) thousands of students based on SmolLM.
- People have inferred, fine-tuned, aligned, and evaluated this smol model.
- People used they're own machines and they've used free tools like colab, kaggle, and spaces.
- People tackled use cases in their job, for fun, in their own language, and with their friends.
upvote the paper SmolLM2: When Smol Goes Big -- Data-Centric Training of a Small Language Model (2502.02737)

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.

📣 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!

Playing with agents, and I reckon Gradio spaces make the perfect agent tools! So I wrote this guide using Gradio and smolagents:

🆕 LLM Course 2025 edition!
I updated the LLM Scientist roadmap and added a ton of new information and references. It covers training, datasets, evaluation, quantization, and new trends like test-time compute scaling.
The LLM Course has been incredibly popular (41.3k stars!) and I've been touched to receive many, many messages about how it helped people in their careers.
I know how difficult this stuff can be, so I'm super proud of the impact it had. I want to keep updating it in 2025, especially with the LLM Engineer roadmap.
Thanks everyone, hope you'll enjoy it!
