Open source is having a moment and a lot of those moments happen on Hugging Face
We put together a State of Open Source on HF that shows 🚀growth in open models, geographic trends (Chinamaxxing), and some fun tidbits (open source robotics is a next moment...)

Introducing Carbon-X: The best open DNA model.
We midtrained a 14B model on DNA and text, and it beats every open language model and matches GPT-6.1 Sol at 1,000x lower cost.
Ask it about a sequence, what a mutation does, or to generate new DNA.

SFC is offering a prize of $5MM - $20MM for a non-government entity getting frontier AI labs to help audit each other, for pre-deployment security risks like lab leaks or sandbox exfiltration. It's called an “Independently Supervised Peer-Assisted” (ISPA) inspection:

Thank you @jnbarrot & @UN for inviting me to share our lessons to the Security Council
Being the first company to disclose an agent cyberattack taught us that we need a lot more transparency in AI and more open-source AI to fight asymmetry and empower defenders!

🚨The @AISecurityInst has teamed up with @evaluatingevals to make AI evaluation results more reproducible! 🚀
Many of UK AISI’s publicly reported evaluation methods and findings will now live on Eval Cards, under the EEE Schema. More details 👇

open source AI just got a lot bigger!
@huggingface is staying open and compute agnostic, now with the support of the biggest open source champion and contributor @nvidia
excited for our community and for the future 💛💚

Super happy to share our intention to join forces with NVIDIA in a $12,930,300,000 acquisition 💛💚
10 years after starting Hugging Face, open-source AI is at an inflection point. Thanks to the community, we’ve shown that it can be a complement, and even an alternative, to for it to happen at larger scale, it needs more compute, more support, more collaboration and more visibility. That’s why we went to talk to Jensen, who offered to do exactly that with us.
In addition to doubling down on NVIDIA’s massive contributions to open-source AI (I called them the “King of American open-source AI” earlier this year), they’ve committed to strongly supporting Hugging Face and our mission while keeping the platform open, independent and compute agnostic. The founders and the team are all staying to keep pushing this mission forward.
Together, we think we can make open source the default way to build AI, with the goal of empowering 100 million AI builders to own their intelligence rather than rent it.
Excited about the next 10 years! 🤗🤗🤗

Exciting day for NVIDIA and @huggingface.
Open models strengthen safety and cybersecurity, accelerate innovation and diffusion, and enable sovereignty. They allow every developer, startup, university, industry and country to build with, customize and benefit from AI.
Thank you @ClementDelangue for coming to me.
NVIDIA is going to be a great home for Hugging Face, its community and the future of open models. 🤗

The first autonomous agent cyberattack is an unprecedented event that deserves unprecedented transparency. Today we’re sharing everything we can: a full technical timeline, an interactive replay, and how we used an open model to defend ourselves, so defenders everywhere can learn what’s next.

the AI security world is going to keep getting weirder. we need open weight models, regardless of where they come from.

OpenClaw landed on @huggingface local apps 🦞🤝🤗
1. Pick any GGUF/MLX model on hf
2. Copy the openclaw onboard setup
3. Volla you've got a tool-calling agent running fully local. no cloud, no keys, no one watching.
Get your claw localmaxxing. resistance is futile 🦞

🚀We launch Evaluation Cards (beta): a centralized public record of AI evaluation results 🚀
Not another leaderboard. Every score comes with who ran it, the settings they used, what the benchmark tests and the other results reported for the same model, side by side. 🧵👇

(2) Model training choices are diversifying. Among developers that disclose training hardware NVIDIA still dominates across both US and Chinese labs. That said, we find Chinese developers increasingly mix in domestic accelerators, notably Huawei’s Ascend series.

in one of the first comprehensive analyses on saturation, we studied 60 popular benchmarks and busted some myths
private test sets and open-ended tasks do not prevent saturation. benchmarks are evolving measurement instruments with lifecycles, not static artifacts

🚨 As AI models improve, many benchmarks are becoming saturated and losing their ability to distinguish between models. 🚨
