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!
1ļøā£ Q1 ā 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)
2ļøā£ Q2 ā 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
3ļøā£ Q3 ā "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
4ļøā£ Q4 ā 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 š¤Æ
Yesterday, we dropped a new conversational viewer for datasets on the hub! š¬
Actually being able to view and inspect your data is extremely important. This is a big step in making data more accessible and actionable for everyone.
If you haven't seen yet, we just released Inference Providers š
> 4 new serverless inference providers on the Hub 𤯠> Use your HF API key or personal key with all providers š > Chat with Deepseek R1, V3, and more on HF Hub š > We support Sambanova, TogetherAI, Replicate, and Fal.ai šŖ
Best of all, we don't charge any markup on top of the provider š«° Have you tried it out yet? HF Pro accounts get $2 of free usage for the provider inference.
All the responses get saved in the cfahlgren1/react-code-instructions dataset. Hopefully we can build one of the biggest, highest quality frontend datasets on the hub šŖ
It's 2025, you shouldn't be hand writing SQL! This is a big step in making it where anyone can do in depth analysis on a dataset. Let us know what you think š¤
