π What happened in AI in 2025? π
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:
1οΈβ£ Q1 β 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)
2οΈβ£ Q2 β 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
3οΈβ£ Q3 β "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
4οΈβ£ Q4 β 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 π€―

We're kick-starting the process of Transformers v5, with @ArthurZ and @cyrilvallez !
v5 should be significant: we're using it as a milestone for performance optimizations, saner defaults, and a much cleaner code base worthy of 2025.
Fun fact: v4.0.0-rc-1 came out on Nov 19, 2020, nearly five years ago!

Say hello to
We are glad to announce a long-awaited quality-of-life improvement: the Hugging Face CLI has been officially renamed from huggingface-cli to hf!
So... why this change?
Typing huggingface-cli constantly gets old fast. More importantly, the CLIβs command structure became messy as new features were added over time (upload, download, cache management, repo management, etc.). Renaming the CLI is a chance to reorganize commands into a clearer, more consistent format.
We decided not to reinvent the wheel and instead follow a well-known CLI pattern: hf <resource> <action>. Isn't
The full rationale, implementation details, and migration notes are in the blog post: https://huggingface.co/blog/hf-cli

β¨ Today weβre releasing Tiny Agents in Python β an MCP-powered Agent in ~70 lines of code π
Inspired by Tiny Agents in JS from @julien-c , we ported the idea to Python and integrated it directly into

We wrote a blog post where we show how to run Tiny Agents, and dive deeper into how they work and how to build your own.

BOOOOM: Today I'm dropping TINY AGENTS
the 50 lines of code Agent in Javascript π₯
I spent the last few weeks working on this, so I hope you will like it.
I've been diving into MCP (Model Context Protocol) to understand what the hype was all about.
It is fairly simple, but still quite powerful: MCP is a standard API to expose sets of Tools that can be hooked to LLMs.
But while doing that, came my second realization:
Once you have a MCP Client, an Agent is literally just a while loop on top of it. π€―

βΌοΈ huggingface_hub's v0.30.0 is out with our biggest update of the past two years!
Full release notes: https://github.com/huggingface/huggingface_hub/releases/tag/v0.30.0.
π Ready. Xet. Go!
Xet is a groundbreaking new protocol for storing large objects in Git repositories, designed to replace Git LFS. Unlike LFS, which deduplicates files, Xet operates at the chunk levelβmaking it a game-changer for AI builders collaborating on massive models and datasets. Our Python integration is powered by [xet-core](https://github.com/huggingface/xet-core), a Rust-based package that handles all the low-level details.
You can start using Xet today by installing the optional dependency:
With that, you can seamlessly download files from Xet-enabled repositories! And donβt worryβeverything remains fully backward-compatible if youβre not ready to upgrade yet.

Docs: https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/en/storage-backends#xet
β‘ Inference Providers
- Weβre thrilled to introduce Cerebras and Cohere as official inference providers! This expansion strengthens the Hub as the go-to entry point for running inference on open-weight models.
- Novita is now our 3rd provider to support text-to-video task after Fal.ai and Replicate.
- Centralized billing: manage your budget and set team-wide spending limits for Inference Providers! Available to all Enterprise Hub organizations.
- No more timeouts when generating videos, thanks to async calls. Available right now for Fal.ai, expecting more providers to leverage the same structure very soon!

Important notice π¨
For Inference Providers who have built support for our Billing API (currently: Fal, Novita, HF-Inference β with more coming soon), we've started enabling Pay as you go (=PAYG)
What this means is that you can use those Inference Providers beyond the free included credits, and they're charged to your HF account.
You can see it on this view: any provider that does not have a "Billing disabled" badge, is PAYG-compatible.

SmolVLM-2 and SigLIP-2 are now part of
They're added on top of the v4.49.0 release, and can be installed from the following tags:
This marks a new beginning for the release process of transformers. For the past five years, we've been doing monthly releases featuring many models (v4.49.0, the latest release, features 9 new architectures).
Starting with SmolVLM-2 & SigLIP2, we'll now additionally release tags supporting new models on a stable branch. These models are therefore directly available for use by installing from the tag itself. These tags will continue to be updated with fixes applied to these models.
Going forward, continue expecting software releases following semantic versioning: v4.50.0 will have ~10 new architectures compared to v4.49.0, as well as a myriad of new features, improvements and bug fixes. Accompanying these software releases, we'll release tags offering brand new models as fast as possible, to make them accessible to all immediately.
