COMPUTER CONTROL IS ON-DEVICE !
🏡🤖 78 % of EU smart-home owners DON’T trust cloud voice assistants.
So we killed the cloud.
Meet Exté: a palm-sized Android device that sees, hears & speaks your language - 100 % offline, 0 % data sent anywhere.
🔓 We submitted our technologies for consideration to the Liquid AI hackathon.
📊 Dataset: 79 k UI-action pairs on Hugging Face (largest Android-control corpus ever) Tonic/android-operator-episodes
⚡ Model: 98 % task accuracy, 678MB compressed , fits on existing android devices ! Tonic/l-android-control
🛤️ Experiment Tracker : check out the training on our TrackioApp Tonic/l-android-control
🎮 Live Model Demo: Upload an Android Screenshot and instructions to see the model in action ! Tonic/l-operator-demo
Built in a garage, funded by pre-orders, no VC. Now we’re scaling to 1 k installer units.
We’re giving 50 limited-edition prototypes to investors , installers & researchers who want to co-design the sovereign smart home.
👇 Drop “EUSKERA” in the comments if you want an invite, tag a friend who still thinks Alexa is “convenient,” and smash ♥️ if AI should belong to people - not servers.

Tremendous quality of life upgrade on the Hugging Face Hub - we now have auto-complete emojis 🤗 🥳 👏 🙌 🎉
Get ready for lots more very serious analysis on a whole range of topics from yours truly now that we have unlocked this full range of expression 😄 🤔 🗣 🙊

🙋🏻♂️ Hey there folks ,
Just wanted to annouce 🏭SmolFactory : it's the quickest and best way to finetune SmolLM3 and GPT-OSS-20B on huggingface !
Basicaly it's an app you can run on huggingface by duplicating the space and running your training directly on huggingface GPUs .
It will help you basically select datasets and models, fine tune your model , make an experiment tracker you can use on your mobile phone , push all your model card and even automatically make a demo for you on huggingface so you can directly test it out when it's done !
check out the blog to learn more : https://huggingface.co/blog/Tonic/smolfactory
or just try the app directly :
Tonic/SmolFactory
you can vibe check the cool models I made :
French SmolLM3 : Tonic/Petite-LLM-3
Medical GPT-OSS : Tonic/med-gpt-oss-20b-demo
check out the model cards :
multilingual reasoner (gpt-oss) - Tonic/gpt-oss-20b-multilingual-reasoner
med-gpt-oss : Tonic/med-gpt-oss-20b
petite-elle-l-aime : Tonic/petite-elle-L-aime-3-sft
github repo if you like command line more than gradio : https://github.com/josephrp/smolfactory
drop some likes on these links it's really much appreciated !
feedback and PRs are welcome !

𝗙𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗚𝗣𝗔𝗜 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗘𝗨 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 𝗧𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲? 🇪🇺
With the release of the EU data transparency template this week, we finally got to see one of the most meaningful artifacts to come out of the AI Act implementation so far (haven't you heard? AI's all about the data! 📊📚)
The impact of the template will depend on how effectively it establishes a minimum meaningful transparency standard for companies that don't otherwise offer any transparency into their handling of e.g. personal data or (anti?-)competitive practices in commercial licensing - we'll see how those play out as new models are released after August 2nd 👀
In the meantime, I wanted to see how the template works for a fully open-source + commercially viable model, so I filled it out for the SmolLM3 - which my colleagues at Hugging Face earlier this month 🤗 ICYMI, it's fully open-source with 3B parameters and performance matching the best similar-size models (I've switched all my local apps from Qwen3 to it, you should too 💡)
Verdict: congrats to the European Commission AI Office for making it so straightforward! Fully open and transparent models remain a cornerstone of informed regulation and governance, but the different organizational needs of their developers aren't always properly accounted for in new regulation. In this case, it took me all of two hours to fill out and publish the template (including reading the guidelines) - so kudos for making it feasible for smaller and distributed organizations 🙌 Definitely a step forward for transparency 🔍
To learn more have a look at:
- The SmolLM3 model: HuggingFaceTB/SmolLM3-3B
- Its filled out Public Summary of Training Content: hfmlsoc/smollm3-eu-data-transparency
- And if you're interested, some previous remarks on regulatory minimum meaningful standards for data disclosure: https://huggingface.co/blog/yjernite/naiac-data-transparency

👋 Hey there folks,
just submitted my plugin idea to the G-Assist Plugin Hackathon by @nvidia . Check it out, it's a great way to use a local SLA model on a windows machine to easily and locally get things done ! https://github.com/NVIDIA/G-Assist

🙋🏻♂️ Hey there folks ,
Yesterday , Nvidia released a reasoning model that beats o3 on science, math and coding !
Today you can try it out here : Tonic/Nvidia-OpenReasoning
hope you like it !

Congrats to the top trending dataset
institutional/institutional-books-1.0 !
This is a fantastic example of large-scale curation of public domain books with intentional governance for AI research and use - definitely recommend checking it out, experimenting with the metadata ( institutional/institutional-books-1.0-metadata), and starting to build on top of it 🤗

🙋🏻♂️ hey there folks ,
So every bio/med/chem meeting i go to i always the same questions "why are you sharing a gdrive link with me for this?" and "Do you have any plans to publish your model weights and datasets on huggingface?" and finally i got a good answer today which explains everything :
basically there is some kind of government censorship on this (usa, but i'm sure others too) and they are told they are not allowed as it is considered a "dataleak" which is illegal !!!!
this is terrible ! but the good news is that we can do something about it !
so there is this "call for opinions and comments" here from the NIH (usa) , and here we can make our opinion on this topic known : https://osp.od.nih.gov/comment-form-responsibly-developing-and-sharing-generative-artificial-intelligence-tools-using-nih-controlled-access-data/
kindly consider dropping your opinion and thoughts about this censorship of science , and share this post , link or thoughts widely .
Together maybe we can start to share data and model weights appropriately and openly in a good way 🙏🏻🚀

🙋🏻♂️ Hey there folks ,
Yesterday the world's first "Learn to Vibe Code" application was released .
As vibe coding is the mainstream paradigm , so now the first educational app is there to support it .
You can try it out already :
https://vibe.takara.ai
and of course it's entirely open source, so i already made my issue and feature branch :-) 🚀

Today in Privacy & AI Tooling - introducing a nifty new tool to examine where data goes in open-source apps on 🤗
HF Spaces have tons (100Ks!) of cool demos leveraging or examining AI systems - and because most of them are OSS we can see exactly how they handle user data 📚🔍
That requires actually reading the code though, which isn't always easy or quick! Good news: code LMs have gotten pretty good at automatic review, so we can offload some of the work - here I'm using Qwen/Qwen2.5-Coder-32B-Instruct to generate reports and it works pretty OK 🙌
The app works in three stages:
1. Download all code files
2. Use the Code LM to generate a detailed report pointing to code where data is transferred/(AI-)processed (screen 1)
3. Summarize the app's main functionality and data journeys (screen 2)
4. Build a Privacy TLDR with those inputs
It comes with a bunch of pre-reviewed apps/Spaces, great to see how many process data locally or through (private) HF endpoints 🤗
Note that this is a POC, lots of exciting work to do to make it more robust, so:
- try it: yjernite/space-privacy
- reach out to collab: yjernite/space-privacy
