The Ledger
Every statement that passed quotation and attribution checks. Mix any filter with any other: certainty 1/5, debate potential 5/5, or both at once.
why aren't all 12 resolved? a statement only gets an assessment when the public record can support or contradict it. opinions and what-ifs never can, and 0 checkable ones are still open, waiting for their date. predictions held up or didn't; assertions are supported or contradicted. on every card: ▮▮▮▮▮ certainty · ▮▮▮▮▮ debate potential. speakers are clickable
Wolf: OpenAI Model Attacked Hugging Face as Autonomous 'Side Quest'
“What people quickly discovered is that the model was not at all task with attacking us, but decided to do that as a side quest of something else.”
50% of Hugging Face model derivatives are now based on Qwen
“I think 50% of all model derivatives being downloaded from Hugging Face or Quen base now.”
Delangue: OpenAI uses open source and is a Hugging Face customer
“As a matter of fact, open AI is using open source as a customer of Fergingface”
Lambert: Kernel differences between vLLM and Hugging Face cause RL numerical instability
“VLLM and HuggingFace use different kernels to do the actual internal computation of the model. So these kernels are the things that make things like vLLM really fast. But these things, this then results in subtle numerical differences between the completions t…”
Over 500 DeepSeek model variants hit Hugging Face within a month
“DeepSeq for example, just within one month of releasing their new models, There are, despite DeepSeq model, extremely hard to tune and optimize, extremely hard. There are 500, more than 500 variants published on Hugging Face, optimizing for local device, optim…”
Delangue: Hugging Face has 5M builders and 1M public models
“Today, as I mentioned, where we have five million AI builders using, using our platform, who collaboratively shared one million public models.”
Delangue: Hugging Face built the most popular open-source NLP library
“We mostly known For having built the most popular open source NLP library, which is on GitHub, that is called Transformers.”
Benaich: Hugging Face data shows over 500M Llama derivative downloads
“The data as of like a week or two ago from his platform, Hugging Faces, like there's probably over half a billion Lama derivative models that have been downloaded.”
Delangue: Users contributed over 200k datasets to Hugging Face
“They also contributed, I think it's more than 200,000 data sets to the platform.”
Delangue: Users built over 300k app spaces on Hugging Face
“And collectively they built over 300,000 spaces which are the apps, ah, on, on the Hugging Face platform.”
