AI for Scientific Discovery Won't Work Without Fixing How We Collaborate.
My co-author @cgeorgiaw and I just published a paper challenging a core assumption: that the main barriers to AI in science are technical. They're not. They're social.
Key findings:
🚨 The "AI Scientist" myth delays progress: Waiting for AGI devalues human expertise and obscures science's real purpose: cultivating understanding, not just outputs.
📊 Wrong incentives: Datasets have 100x longer impact than models, yet data curation is undervalued.
⚠️ Broken collaboration: Domain scientists want understanding. ML researchers optimize performance. Without shared language, projects fail.
🔍 Fragmentation costs years: Harmonizing just 9 cancer files took 329 hours.
Why this matters: Upstream bottlenecks like efficient PDE solvers could accelerate discovery across multiple sciences. CASP mobilized a community around protein structure, enabling AlphaFold. We need this for dozens of challenges.
Thus, we're launching Hugging Science! A global community addressing these barriers through collaborative challenges, open toolkits, education, and community-owned infrastructure. Please find all the links below!

This is what Hugging Face is all about. We want everyone, hobbyists, researchers and industry alike, to be able to contribute to AI because everyone is affected by it. Kudos to HF's @irenesolaiman for spreading the word!🔥🤗

New blog post alert! "What is the Hugging Face Community Building?", with @yjernite and @irenesolaiman
What 1.8 Million Models Reveal About Open Source Innovation: Our latest deep dive into the Hugging Face Hub reveals patterns that challenge conventional AI narratives:
🔗 Models become platforms for innovation Qwen, Llama, and Gemma models have spawned entire ecosystems of specialized variants. Looking at derivative works shows community adoption better than any single metric.
📊 Datasets reveal the foundation layer → Most downloaded datasets are evaluation benchmarks (MMLU, Squad, GLUE) → Universities and research institutions dominate foundational data → Domain-specific datasets thrive across finance, healthcare, robotics, and science → Open actors provide the datasets that power most AI development
🏛️ Research institutions lead the charge: AI2 (Allen Institute) emerges as one of the most active contributors, alongside significant activity from IBM, NVIDIA, and international organizations. The open source ecosystem spans far beyond Big Tech.
🔍 Interactive exploration tools: We've built several tools to help you discover patterns!
ModelVerse Explorer - organizational contributions
DataVerse Explorer - dataset patterns
Organization HeatMap - activity over time
Base Model Explorer - model family trees
Semantic Search - find models by capability
📚 Academic research is thriving: Researchers are already producing valuable insights, including recent work at FAccT 2025: "The Brief and Wondrous Life of Open Models." We've also made hub datasets, weekly snapshots, and other data available for your own analysis.
The bottom line: AI development is far more distributed, diverse, and collaborative than popular narratives suggest. Real innovation happens through community collaboration across specialized domains.

Excited to onboard FeatherlessAI on Hugging Face as an Inference Provider - they bring a fleet of 6,700+ LLMs on-demand on the Hugging Face Hub 🤯
Starting today, you'd be able to access all those LLMs (OpenAI compatible) on HF model pages and via OpenAI client libraries too! 💥
Go, play with it today: https://huggingface.co/blog/inference-providers-featherless
P.S. They're also bringing on more GPUs to support all your concurrent requests!

hey hey @mradermacher - VB from Hugging Face here, we'd love to onboard you over to our optimised xet backend! 💥
as you know we're in the process of upgrading our storage backend to xet (which helps us scale and offer blazingly fast upload/ download speeds too): https://huggingface.co/blog/xet-on-the-hub and now that we are certain that the backend can scale with even big models like Llama 4/ Qwen 3 - we;re moving to the next phase of inviting impactful orgs and users on the hub over as you are a big part of the open source ML community - we would love to onboard you next and create some excitement about it in the community too!
in terms of actual steps - it should be as simple as one of the org admins to join hf.co/join/xet - we'll take care of the rest.
p.s. you'd need to have a the latest hf_xet version of huggingface_hub lib but everything else should be the same: https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/storage-backends#using-xet-storage
p.p.s. this is fully backwards compatible so everything will work as it should! 🤗

AI agents are transforming how we interact with technology, but how sustainable are they? 🌍
Design choices — like model size and structure — can massively impact energy use and cost. ⚡💰 The key takeaway: smaller, task-specific models can be far more efficient than large, general-purpose ones.
🔑 Open-source models offer greater transparency, allowing us to track energy consumption and make more informed decisions on deployment. 🌱 Open-source = more efficient, eco-friendly, and accountable AI.
Read our latest, led by @sasha with assists from myself + @yjernite 🤗
