multi-agents orchestration is old news by now. Try multi-teams of agents ! that is a whole different nightmare ... This is the real signal about the sparks of AGI.

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!)

Came across a very nice submission from @marcodsn for the reasoning datasets competition (https://huggingface.co/blog/bespokelabs/reasoning-datasets-competition).

The dataset distils reasoning chains from arXiv research papers in biology and economics. Some nice features of the dataset:

- Extracts both the logical structure AND researcher intuition from academic papers
- Adopts the persona of researchers "before experiments" to capture exploratory thinking
- Provides multi-short and single-long reasoning formats with token budgets - Shows 7.2% improvement on MMLU-Pro Economics when fine-tuning a 3B model

It's created using the Curator framework with plans to scale across more scientific domains and incorporate multi-modal reasoning with charts and mathematics.

I personally am very excited about datasets like this, which involve creativity in their creation and don't just rely on $$$ to produce a big dataset with little novelty.

Dataset can be found here: marcodsn/academic-chains (give it a like!)

I've created a v1 dataset ( davanstrien/reasoning-required) and model ( davanstrien/ModernBERT-based-Reasoning-Required) to help curate "wild text" data for generating reasoning examples beyond the usual code/math/science domains.

- I developed a "Reasoning Required" dataset with a 0-4 scoring system for reasoning complexity
- I used educational content from HuggingFaceFW/fineweb-edu, adding annotations for domains, reasoning types, and example questions

My approach enables a more efficient workflow: filter text with small models first, then use LLMs only on high-value content.

This significantly reduces computation costs while expanding reasoning dataset domain coverage.

๐Ÿ“Š Introducing "Hugging Face Dataset Spotlight" ๐Ÿ“Š

I'm excited to share the first episode of our AI-generated podcast series focusing on nice datasets from the Hugging Face Hub!

This first episode explores mathematical reasoning datasets:

- SynthLabsAI/Big-Math-RL-Verified: Over 250,000 rigorously verified problems spanning multiple difficulty levels and mathematical domains
- open-r1/OpenR1-Math-220k: 220,000 math problems with multiple reasoning traces, verified for accuracy using Math Verify and Llama-3.3-70B models.
- facebook/natural_reasoning: 1.1 million general reasoning questions carefully deduplicated and decontaminated from existing benchmarks, showing superior scaling effects when training models like Llama3.1-8B-Instruct.

Plus a bonus segment on bespokelabs/bespoke-manim!

Quick POC: Turn a Hugging Face dataset card into a short podcast introducing the dataset using all open models.

I think I'm the only weirdo who would enjoy listening to something like this though ๐Ÿ˜…

Here is an example for eth-nlped/stepverify

Hacked together a way to log trl GRPO training completions to a ๐Ÿค— dataset repo. This allows you to:

- Track rewards from multiple reward functions
- Treat the completion and rewards from training as a "proper" dataset and do EDA
- Share results for open science

The implementation is super hacky, but I'm curious if people would find this useful.

To push completions to the Hub, you just need two extra parameters:

log_completions=True
log_completions_hub_repo='your-username/repo-name'

Example dataset: davanstrien/test-logs

๐Ÿšจ Arabic LLM Evaluation ๐Ÿšจ

Few models join the ranking of https://huggingface.co/spaces/inceptionai/AraGen-Leaderboard Today.

The new MistralAI model, Saba, is quite impressive, Top10 ! Well done @arthurmensch and team.

Sadly Mistral did not follow its strategy about public weights this time, we hope this changes soon and we get the model with a permissive license.

We added other Mistral models and apparently, we have been sleeping on mistralai/Mistral-Large-Instruct-2411 !

Another impressive model that joined the ranking today is https://huggingface.co/ALLaM-AI/ALLaM-7B-Instruct-preview. After a long wait finally ALLaM is here and it is IMPRESSIVE given its size !

ALLaM is ranked on OALL/Open-Arabic-LLM-Leaderboard as well.

How do you make 1M+ Hugging Face models & datasets more discoverable?

davanstrien/Smol-Hub-tldr!

I fine-tuned HuggingFaceTB/SmolLM2-360M to generate one-line summaries from a model or dataset README.

Its own self-description?
"A model for generating concise summaries of model & dataset cards from the Hugging Face Hub"

The goal? Make it easier to find the right models and datasets for your specific needs. It's already powering a semantic search for datasets Space.

It's still a WIP but thanks to @loubnabnl , @anton-l , @eliebak et al, for cooking such a nice base model for fine-tuning small, efficient models for specific domains and tasks. ๐Ÿ™

๐ŸŒ Big step for multilingual AI data!

The Hugging Face community has rated educational content in languages spoken by 1.6 billion people! New additions:
โ€ข Japanese
โ€ข Italian
โ€ข Old High German

Learn more and contribute: https://huggingface.co/blog/davanstrien/fineweb2-community

These ratings can help enhance training data for major world languages.

Introducing scandi-fine-web-cleaner davanstrien/scandi-fine-web-cleaner, the first model trained on FineWeb-C community annotations!

FineWeb2 is a massive multilingual dataset for pre-training language models. Like any web-scale dataset, it contains low-quality content. How can we improve it?

Over the past months, an amazing community of 400+ annotators has been labelling content quality (using Argilla) across 23 languages through the FineWeb-C initiative.

Today, I'm happy to share the first classifier trained on this data.

๐Ÿ” What we've built:

- A lightweight classifier that efficiently removes low-quality content
- 90%+ precision demonstrated on Danish & Swedish
- Can process the 43M+ documents in Danish FineWeb2 with minimal compute

๐ŸŒ Why this matters: The approach can be reproduced for any of the 23 languages in FineWeb-C ( data-is-better-together/fineweb-c). We can improve training data quality at scale without massive compute resources by starting with community annotations and training small, efficient classifiers.

Want to build a classifier for your language? Check out the full blog post with code examples and implementation details: https://danielvanstrien.xyz/posts/2025/FineWeb-c/scandinavian-content-filtering-fineweb.html
