👉 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 🤯

🥳 Here's to 2026, wishing it becomes the best year ever for open releases and on-device-first use-cases! 🥂

We just released our latest Shisa V2.1 Japanese multi-lingual models: https://huggingface.co/collections/shisa-ai/shisa-v21
Besides updates to our 14B, and 70B, we have a new LFM2-based 1.2B, Llama 3.2-based 3B, and Qwen 3-based 8B, all with class-leading Japanese language capabilities.
Per usual, lots of details in the Model Cards for those interested.

Excited to share that I've joined the Hugging Face Fellows program! 🤗
Looking forward to contributing to & working more closely with the open-source ecosystem - huge thanks to everyone who's supported me on this journey! 🚀

Trained a model for emotion-controllable TTS based on MiMo audio on LAION's dataset.
Still very early and does have an issue with hallucinating but results seem pretty good so far, given that it is very early into the training run.
Will probably kick off a new run later with some settings tweaked.
Put up a demo here: https://huggingface.co/spaces/mrfakename/EmoAct-MiMo
(Turn 🔊 on to hear audio samples)

COMPUTER CONTROL IS ON-DEVICE !
🏡🤖 78 % of EU smart-home owners DON’T trust cloud voice assistants.
So we killed the cloud.
Meet Exté: a palm-sized Android device that sees, hears & speaks your language - 100 % offline, 0 % data sent anywhere.
🔓 We submitted our technologies for consideration to the Liquid AI hackathon.
📊 Dataset: 79 k UI-action pairs on Hugging Face (largest Android-control corpus ever) Tonic/android-operator-episodes
⚡ Model: 98 % task accuracy, 678MB compressed , fits on existing android devices ! Tonic/l-android-control
🛤️ Experiment Tracker : check out the training on our TrackioApp Tonic/l-android-control
🎮 Live Model Demo: Upload an Android Screenshot and instructions to see the model in action ! Tonic/l-operator-demo
Built in a garage, funded by pre-orders, no VC. Now we’re scaling to 1 k installer units.
We’re giving 50 limited-edition prototypes to investors , installers & researchers who want to co-design the sovereign smart home.
👇 Drop “EUSKERA” in the comments if you want an invite, tag a friend who still thinks Alexa is “convenient,” and smash ♥️ if AI should belong to people - not servers.

🙋🏻♂️ Hey there folks ,
Just wanted to annouce 🏭SmolFactory : it's the quickest and best way to finetune SmolLM3 and GPT-OSS-20B on huggingface !
Basicaly it's an app you can run on huggingface by duplicating the space and running your training directly on huggingface GPUs .
It will help you basically select datasets and models, fine tune your model , make an experiment tracker you can use on your mobile phone , push all your model card and even automatically make a demo for you on huggingface so you can directly test it out when it's done !
check out the blog to learn more : https://huggingface.co/blog/Tonic/smolfactory
or just try the app directly :
Tonic/SmolFactory
you can vibe check the cool models I made :
French SmolLM3 : Tonic/Petite-LLM-3
Medical GPT-OSS : Tonic/med-gpt-oss-20b-demo
check out the model cards :
multilingual reasoner (gpt-oss) - Tonic/gpt-oss-20b-multilingual-reasoner
med-gpt-oss : Tonic/med-gpt-oss-20b
petite-elle-l-aime : Tonic/petite-elle-L-aime-3-sft
github repo if you like command line more than gradio : https://github.com/josephrp/smolfactory
drop some likes on these links it's really much appreciated !
feedback and PRs are welcome !

I fine-tuned a smol VLM to generate specialized art history metadata!
https://huggingface.co/davanstrien/iconclass-vlm: Qwen2.5-VL-3B trained using SFT to generate ICONCLASS codes (think Dewey Decimal for art!)
Trained with TRL + HF Jobs - single UV script, no GPU needed!
Space to explore predictions on a test set: davanstrien/iconclass-predictions
Blog soon!

👋 Hey there folks,
just submitted my plugin idea to the G-Assist Plugin Hackathon by @nvidia . Check it out, it's a great way to use a local SLA model on a windows machine to easily and locally get things done ! https://github.com/NVIDIA/G-Assist

🙋🏻♂️ Hey there folks ,
Yesterday , Nvidia released a reasoning model that beats o3 on science, math and coding !
Today you can try it out here : Tonic/Nvidia-OpenReasoning
hope you like it !

Inspired by Hugging Face's official MCP server, I've developed a complementary tool that exposes my semantic search API to enhance discovery across the HF platform.
Key capabilities:
- AI-powered semantic search for models and datasets
- Parameter count analysis via safetensors metadata
- Trending content discovery
- Find similar models/datasets functionality
- 11 tools total for enhanced ecosystem navigation
The semantic search goes beyond simple keyword matching, understanding context and relationships between different models and datasets.
Example query: "Find around 10 reasoning Hugging Face datasets published in 2025 focusing on topics other than maths and science. Show a link and a short summary for each dataset." (results in video!)

I'm excited to announce the official release of our Shisa V2 405B model:
shisa-ai/shisa-v2-llama3.1-405b
It's the strongest model ever trained in Japan, and even goes toe-to-toe w/ GPT-4o and DeepSeek-V3 in JA MT-Bench.
For all the details, be sure to check out post and overview report here: https://shisa.ai/posts/shisa-v2-405b/

🙋🏻♂️ hey there folks ,
So every bio/med/chem meeting i go to i always the same questions "why are you sharing a gdrive link with me for this?" and "Do you have any plans to publish your model weights and datasets on huggingface?" and finally i got a good answer today which explains everything :
basically there is some kind of government censorship on this (usa, but i'm sure others too) and they are told they are not allowed as it is considered a "dataleak" which is illegal !!!!
this is terrible ! but the good news is that we can do something about it !
so there is this "call for opinions and comments" here from the NIH (usa) , and here we can make our opinion on this topic known : https://osp.od.nih.gov/comment-form-responsibly-developing-and-sharing-generative-artificial-intelligence-tools-using-nih-controlled-access-data/
kindly consider dropping your opinion and thoughts about this censorship of science , and share this post , link or thoughts widely .
Together maybe we can start to share data and model weights appropriately and openly in a good way 🙏🏻🚀
