๐Ÿ‘‰ What happened in AI in 2025? ๐Ÿ‘ˆ

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:

1๏ธโƒฃ Q1 โ€” 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)

2๏ธโƒฃ Q2 โ€” 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

3๏ธโƒฃ Q3 โ€” "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

4๏ธโƒฃ Q4 โ€” 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 ๐Ÿคฏ

FineVision: Open Data Is All You Need (2510.17269)

If you've ever trained a VLM, you know this problem: nobody shares their data mixtures. It's a black box, making replicating SOTA work impossible.
We wanted to change that.

FineVision unifies 200 sources into 24 million samples. With 17.3 million images and 9.5 billion answer tokens, it's the largest open resource of its kind.

In the paper, we share how we built it:
๐Ÿ” finding and cleaning data at scale
๐Ÿงน removing excessive duplicates across sources
๐Ÿค— decontaminating against 66 public benchmarks

My favorite part is Figure 6 (in the video!). It's our visual diversity analysis. It shows that FineVision isn't just bigger; it's more balanced and conceptually richer than other open datasets.
NVIDIA's Eagle 2 paper highlighted just how critical this visual diversity is, and our results confirm it: models trained on FineVision consistently outperform those trained on any other open dataset on 11 benchmarks!

๐ŸŽ‰ To celebrate the paper, Iโ€™m also releasing a concatenated and shuffled version of the full dataset! ๐Ÿ‘‰HuggingFaceM4/FineVision_full_shuffled

Itโ€™s ready to stream, so you can start training your own models right away:

from datasets import load_dataset
d = load_dataset("HuggingFaceM4/FineVision_full_shuffled", split="train", streaming=True)
print(next(iter(d)))

A big shoutout to the first authors: Luis Wiedmann and Orr Zohar. They are rockstars!

Many VLMs claim to process hours of video. But can they follow the story?๐Ÿค”
Today, we introduce TimeScope: The benchmark that separates true temporal understanding from marketing hype. Let's see how much VLMs really understand!โณ

We test three skills that matter for real-world use:
๐Ÿ”Ž Localized Retrieval: Find a specific action.
๐Ÿงฉ Information Synthesis: Piece together scattered clues.
๐Ÿƒ Fine-Grained Perception: Analyze detailed motion (e.g., count how many times a person swings an axe).

The results are in, and they're revealing. Only Gemini 2.5 pro handles 1-hour-long videos.
Performance drops sharply with duration, proving that long video understanding is still challenging. We've found the breaking pointsโ€”now the community can start fixing them.๐Ÿ“ˆ

Want to learn more? TimeScope is 100% open-source. Benchmark your model and help us build the next generation of video AI.

๐Ÿง ๐Ÿ‘๏ธ Can AI visualize solutions?

Humans often solve visual problems by sketching ideas in our minds. What if Vision-Language Models (VLMs) could do something similar, not by generating full images, but by using internal โ€œmental sketchesโ€?

Thatโ€™s the idea behind Mirage, a new framework that empowers VLMs to reason using latent visual tokens. Instead of just thinking in words, Mirage mixes in abstract visual representations that help the model solve complex tasks.

These aren't photorealistic images. They're compact, internal representations optimized purely to support reasoning.

๐Ÿ”ง Mirage is trained in two phases:

1) Grounding: It learns to produce latent tokens anchored in real images.
2) Refinement: The model drops the images and learns to generate visual tokens on its own.

๐Ÿ“ˆ And yes, it works!
On challenging benchmarks like Visual Spatial Planning, Jigsaw puzzles, and Spatial Attention Tasks, Mirage clearly outperforms GPT-4o and other strong baselines.
Smart sketches > empty words.

By mimicking the way humans visualize solutions, Mirage gives AI a new kind of imagination, one thatโ€™s faster, more efficient, and more human-like.
Kudos to the teams at UMass Amherst and MIT behind this exciting work.
