🚀 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.

@CohereLabs just released 🌿 Tiny Aya: a fully open-source 3B parameter model that speaks 70+ languages 🌍! But there’s a catch:
Tiny Aya is just a language model. It doesn’t support tool calling, the key capability that turns frontier models into powerful *agents*.
So the real question is:
How hard is it to turn Tiny Aya into an agent?
Turns out… it’s simple, thanks to Hugging Face TRL.
We’re sharing a hands-on example showing how to train Tiny Aya to turn it into a tool-calling agent using TRL, unlocking what could become the first *massively multilingual open agent*.
Small model. Global reach. Agent capabilities.

Interesting article: use Claude Code to help open models write CUDA kernels (for eg) by turning CC traces into Skills. They made a library out of it 👀

👉 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 🤯

🫡 @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! 🥂

Nvidia is on a roll lately. Nemotron 3 Nano is my new fav local model, but here's the real flex: they published the entire evaluation setup. Configs, prompts, logs, all of it. This is how you do open models 🔥

🐦🔥 I've just published Sentence Transformers v5.2.0! It introduces multi-processing for CrossEncoder (rerankers), multilingual NanoBEIR evaluators, similarity score outputs in mine_hard_negatives, Transformers v5 support and more. Details:
- CrossEncoder multi-processing: Similar to SentenceTransformer and SparseEncoder, you can now use multi-processing with CrossEncoder rerankers. Useful for multi-GPU and CPU settings, and simple to configure: just
- Multilingual NanoBEIR Support: You can now use community translations of the tiny NanoBEIR retrieval benchmark instead of only the English one, by passing
- Similarity scores in Hard Negatives Mining: When mining for hard negatives to create a strong training dataset, you can now pass
- Transformers v5: This release works with both Transformers v4 and the upcoming v5. In the future, Sentence Transformers will only work with Transformers v5, but not yet!
- Python 3.9 deprecation: Now that Python 3.9 has lost security support, Sentence Transformers no longer supports it.
Check out the full changelog for more details: https://github.com/huggingface/sentence-transformers/releases/tag/v5.2.0
I'm quite excited about what's coming. There's a huge draft PR with a notable refactor in the works that should bring some exciting support. Specifically, better multimodality, rerankers, and perhaps some late interaction in the future!

device=["cuda:0", "cuda:1"] or device=["cpu"]*4 on the model.predict or model.rank calls.- Multilingual NanoBEIR Support: You can now use community translations of the tiny NanoBEIR retrieval benchmark instead of only the English one, by passing
dataset_id, e.g. dataset_id="lightonai/NanoBEIR-de" for the German benchmark.- Similarity scores in Hard Negatives Mining: When mining for hard negatives to create a strong training dataset, you can now pass
output_scores=True to get similarity scores returned. This can be useful for some distillation losses!- Transformers v5: This release works with both Transformers v4 and the upcoming v5. In the future, Sentence Transformers will only work with Transformers v5, but not yet!
