Playing around with AI agents, and I reckon Gradio spaces on the hub make the perfect tools. - super easy to connect your agents to a bunch of useful tools and apps. - find a Space you like on Hugging Face Hub or make your own with Gradio. - link it up with smolagents. 🧵

What does o3 mean for small open source models on real domains? I've been asking myself this question a lot the last week, and I think it sets up an interesting path forward. OpenAI, is calling o3 a new paradigm. If that's true, then these two developments illustrate how that paradigm plays out: 🧵

Lack of data is often the first challenge when you're building real AI systems for specific languages or use cases. If you're dealing with this, try out this dataset generator. It generates a custom dataset for your use case, which you can use to train a model for classification or chat.

who's fine-tuning LLMs for reasoning? This dataset has been trending for a few weeks and there's a list of models trained on it. - It has SFT formatted reasoning sequences, like those in o1. - You could incorporate these into post training to boost reasoning abilities.

came across this example in agent-as-a-judge from Meta. It uses agent-as-a-judge to evaluate the effectiveness of a DevAI app. - It's based on an open dataset. - It's more accurate than LLM as a judge - It explains its evaluation based on preferences, and requirements. buff.ly/49tN6CQ
