SPECK 2 IS ALREADY OUT: specklabs/Speck2-140M
Pretrained on 4x more tokens than the previous releases (20b vs 5b).
Instruct tuned versions are coming soon.
Very interesting models are coming soon too (hint: super long context).
Thanks for everyone supporting!

NEW SPECK UPDATES:
Just hit #14 and #15 with out FIRST models on Open SLM Leaderboard. The models were trained on 5B tokens, while competing with similarly sized models trained on more than 6-20x the data.
A new base model Speck1.5-140M being trained right now on a higher quality corpus and will be released soon.
SpeckChat3 is coming very soon with 1 million samples, specifically designed to post train small base models.
Also, just to clarify stuff, we will NOT release anything that is NOT MIT licensed EVER. Openness is needed in small language research.
Thanks to everyone supporting the project, and stay tuned for new releases!

Anthropic gave me six months of Claude Max 20x through the Claude for Open Source program, granted based on my Hugging Face work. Thank you 
Anthropic for supporting open source.
So far I've been pointing it at Markdown Minimap, an Obsidian plugin that adds a scrollable IDE-style minimap to your notes. This week I've been clearing a backlog of user-reported issues on it, with Claude often handling them end to end.
https://github.com/Nymbo/Markdown-Minimap — issues and PRs welcome.

Introducing Inflect-v2, two exceptionally small, open-weight English TTS models at just 3.9M and 9.3M parameters. Both generate speech multiple times faster than real-time on CPU. Despite their size, Inflect-v2 delivers quality that is competitive with much larger lightweight TTS systems, including KittenTTS, Piper, and Supertonic-3.
CPU, CUDA, PyTorch, and ONNX are supported. Apache 2.0.
See it for yourselves:
owensong/Inflect-Micro-v2
owensong/Inflect-Nano-v2
Try the Demos:
Nymbo/Inflect-TTS (unlimited CPU usage)
owensong/Inflect-v2 (ultra-fast ZeroGPU usage)

🎉 KTO is now part of the stable TRL API
As of Promote KTO to stable API, KTOTrainer and KTOConfig have graduated from trl.experimental to the stable trl API. https://github.com/huggingface/trl/pull/6175
This one closes out a long road. Over the past 6+ months, the "Align KTO with DPO" effort landed ~90 PRs methodically bringing KTO up to the standard we hold for stable trainers, one carefully-scoped change at a time:
- Feature parity with DPO: full VLM support (incl. multi-image), sync_ref_model, PEFT + Liger, ZeRO-3 + PEFT dtype fix, pad_to_multiple_of, activation offloading, IterableDataset and dict eval_dataset, remove_unused_columns, and reference-logprob precomputation at init.
- Consistency with DPO: aligned method order and signatures, tokenization, _prepare_dataset, PEFT handling, ref-model preparation for distributed training, and config layout — plus a new DataCollatorForKTO and output format. Metrics moved into _compute_loss and simplified to direct averages via the shared _metrics attribute.
- Removing legacy baggage: dropped encoder-decoder support, BOS/EOS handling, null_ref_context, generate_during_eval, model_init, preprocess_logits_for_metrics, model/ref adapter names, and several dead config knobs.
- Coverage: a full test suite mirroring DPO, text collator tests, VLM tests, and slow tests.
- The promotion itself: the experimental → stable move (#6175) and shim cleanup (#6287), handled so downstream users get a clean deprecation path.
Honestly, this has been one of the more complex tasks I've taken on since joining the team, not because any single change was hard, but because it demanded sustained consistency across a ~2,000-line trainer, with every branch, comment, and edge case kept in lockstep with DPO.
Huge thanks to everyone who reviewed along the way (especially @qgallouedec ), the incremental review cadence is exactly what kept this maintainable.
KTO now sits on equal footing with our other flagship trainers. 🚀

mm-ctx – fast, multimodal context for agents.
LLM-based agents handle text incredibly well, but images, videos, or PDFs with visual content are hard to interpret. mm-ctx gives your CLI agent multi-modal skills.
Try it interactively in Spaces: vlm-run/mm-ctx
Readme: https://vlm-run.github.io/mm/
PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/mm-ctx
SKILL.md: https://github.com/vlm-run/skills/blob/main/skills/mm-cli-skill/SKILL.md
mm-ctx is meant to feel familiar: the UNIX tools we already love (find/cat/grep/wc), rebuilt for file types LLMs can't read natively and designed to work with agents via the CLI.
- mm grep "invoice #1234" ~/Downloads searches across PDFs and returns line-numbered matches
- mm cat <document>.pdf returns a metadata description of the file
- mm cat <photo>.jpg returns a caption of the photo
- mm cat <video>.mp4 returns a caption of the video
A few things we obsessed over:
⚡ Speed: Rust core for the hot paths
🏠 Local-first, BYO model: Uses any OpenAI-compatible endpoint: Ollama, vLLM/SGLang, LMStudio with any multimodal LLM (Gemma4, Qwen3.5, GLM-4.6V).
🔗 Composable: stdin + structured outputs
🤖 Drops into any agent via mm-cli-skills: Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, OpenClaw.
We’d love to hear your feedback! Especially on the CLI and what file types and workflows you would like to see next.

We should really have a release date range slider on the /models page. Tired of "trending/most downloaded" being the best way to sort and still seeing models from 2023 on the first page just because they're embedded in enterprise pipelines and get downloaded repeatedly. "Recently Created/Recently Updated" don't solve the discovery problem considering the amount of noise to sift through.
Slight caveat: Trending actually does have some recency bias, but it's not strong/precise enough.

🚀 TRL v0.29.0 introduces trl-training: an agent-native training skill.
This makes the TRL CLI a structured, agent-readable capability, allowing AI agents to reliably execute training workflows such as:
- Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT)
- Direct Preference Optimization (DPO)
- Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO)
We’re excited to see what the community builds on top of this.
If you’re working on AI agents, alignment research, or scalable RL training infrastructure: give TRL v0.29.0 a try! 🤗
The future of ML tooling is agent-native.

Genuine recommendation: You should really use this AutoHotKey macro. Save the file as
In my experience the past few months,
macros.ahk and run it. Before sending a prompt to your coding agent, press Ctrl + Alt + 1 and paste your prompt to any regular chatbot. Then send the output to the agent. This is the actual, boring, real way to "10x your prompting". Use the other number keys to avoid repeating yourself over and over again. I use this macro prolly 100-200 times per day. AutoHotKey isn't as new or hype as a lot of other workflows, but there's a reason it's still widely used after 17 years. Don't overcomplicate it.; Requires AutoHotkey v1.1+
; All macros are `Ctrl + Alt + <variable>`

Send, Please help me more clearly articulate what I mean with this message (write the message in a code block):

^!2::
Send, Please make the following changes:

^!3::
Send, It seems you got cut off by the maximum response limit. Please continue by picking up where you left off.
returnIn my experience the past few months,
Ctrl + Alt + 1 works best with Instruct models (non-thinking). Reasoning causes some models to ramble and miss the point. I've just been using GPT-5.x for this.

👉 What happened in AI in 2025? 👈
We prepared the 2025 version of the HF AI Timeline Grid, highlighting open vs API-based model releases, and allowing you to browse and filter by access, modality, and release type!
Play with it here:
2025-ai-timeline/2025-ai-timeline
Here's my personal quarterly TL;DR:
1️⃣ Q1 — Learning to Reason
Deepseek not only releases a top-notch reasoning model, but shows how to train them and compete with closed frontier models. OpenAI debuts Deep Research.
Significant milestones: DeepSeek R1 & R1-Zero, Qwen 2.5 VL, OpenAI Deep Research, Gemini 2.5 Pro (experimental)
2️⃣ Q2 — Multimodality and Coding
More LLMs embrace multimodality by default, and there's a surge in coding agents. Strong vision, audio, and generative models emerge.
Significant milestones: Llama 4, Qwen 3, Imagen 4, OpenAI Codex, Google Jules, Claude 4
3️⃣ Q3 — "Gold" rush, OpenAI opens up, the community goes bananas
Flagship models get gold in Math olympiads and hard benchmarks. OpenAI releases strong open source models and Google releases the much anticipated nano-banana for image generation and editing. Agentic workflows become commonplace.
Significant milestones: Gemini and OpenAI IMO Gold, gpt-oss, Gemini 2.5 Flash Image, Grok 4, Claude Sonnet 4.5
4️⃣ Q4 — Mistral returns, leaderboard hill-climbing
Mistral is back with updated model families. All labs release impressive models to wrap up the year!
Significant milestones: Claude Opus 4.5, DeepSeek Math V2, FLUX 2, GPT 5.1, Kimi K2 Thinking, Nano Banana Pro, GLM 4.7, Gemini 3, Mistral 3, MiniMax M2.1 🤯
Credits

🫡 @reach-vb for the original idea, design and recipe
🙌 @ariG23498 and yours truly for compiling and verifying the 2025 edition
🥳 Here's to 2026, wishing it becomes the best year ever for open releases and on-device-first use-cases! 🥂
