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! 🤗

Introducing OlympicCoder: a series of open reasoning models that can solve olympiad-level programming problems 🧑💻
- 7B open-r1/OlympicCoder-7B
- 32B open-r1/OlympicCoder-32B
We find that OlympicCoder models outperform Claude 3.7 Sonnet, as well as others over 100x larger 💪
Together with the models, we are releasing:
📊CodeForces-CoTs: new dataset of code problems from the most popular competitive coding platform, with R1 traces in C++ and Python open-r1/codeforces-cots
🏆 IOI'2024: a new benchmark of VERY hard programming problems where even frontier models struggle to match human performance open-r1/ioi
For links to the models and datasets, check out our latest progress report from Open R1: https://huggingface.co/blog/open-r1/update-3

Introducing OpenR1-Math-220k!
open-r1/OpenR1-Math-220k
The community has been busy distilling DeepSeek-R1 from inference providers, but we decided to have a go at doing it ourselves from scratch 💪
What’s new compared to existing reasoning datasets?
♾ Based on AI-MO/NuminaMath-1.5: we focus on math reasoning traces and generate answers for problems in NuminaMath 1.5, an improved version of the popular NuminaMath-CoT dataset.
🐳 800k R1 reasoning traces: We generate two answers for 400k problems using DeepSeek R1. The filtered dataset contains 220k problems with correct reasoning traces.
📀 512 H100s running locally: Instead of relying on an API, we leverage vLLM and SGLang to run generations locally on our science cluster, generating 180k reasoning traces per day.
⏳ Automated filtering: We apply Math Verify to only retain problems with at least one correct answer. We also leverage Llama3.3-70B-Instruct as a judge to retrieve more correct examples (e.g for cases with malformed answers that can’t be verified with a rules-based parser)
📊 We match the performance of DeepSeek-Distill-Qwen-7B by finetuning Qwen-7B-Math-Instruct on our dataset.
🔎 Read our blog post for all the nitty gritty details: https://huggingface.co/blog/open-r1/update-2

We are reproducing the full DeepSeek R1 data and training pipeline so everybody can use their recipe. Instead of doing it in secret we can do it together in the open!
🧪 Step 1: replicate the R1-Distill models by distilling a high-quality reasoning corpus from DeepSeek-R1.
🧠 Step 2: replicate the pure RL pipeline that DeepSeek used to create R1-Zero. This will involve curating new, large-scale datasets for math, reasoning, and code.
🔥 Step 3: show we can go from base model -> SFT -> RL via multi-stage training.
Follow along: https://github.com/huggingface/open-r1

I was initially pretty sceptical about Meta's Coconut paper [1] because the largest perf gains were reported on toy linguistic problems. However, these results on machine translation are pretty impressive!
https://x.com/casper_hansen_/status/1875872309996855343
Together with the recent PRIME method [2] for scaling RL, reasoning for open models is looking pretty exciting for 2025!

This paper (
HuatuoGPT-o1, Towards Medical Complex Reasoning with LLMs (2412.18925)) has a really interesting recipe for inducing o1-like behaviour in Llama models:
* Iteratively sample CoTs from the model, using a mix of different search strategies. This gives you something like Stream of Search via prompting.
* Verify correctness of each CoT using GPT-4o (needed because exact match doesn't work well in medicine where there are lots of aliases)
* Use GPT-4o to reformat the concatenated CoTs into a single stream that includes smooth transitions like "hmm, wait" etc that one sees in o1
* Use the resulting data for SFT & RL
* Use sparse rewards from GPT-4o to guide RL training. They find RL gives an average ~3 point boost across medical benchmarks and SFT on this data already gives a strong improvement.
Applying this strategy to other domains could be quite promising, provided the training data can be formulated with verifiable problems!

We outperform Llama 70B with Llama 3B on hard math by scaling test-time compute 🔥
How? By combining step-wise reward models with tree search algorithms :)
We show that smol models can match or exceed the performance of their much larger siblings when given enough "time to think"
We're open sourcing the full recipe and sharing a detailed blog post.
In our blog post we cover:
📈 Compute-optimal scaling: How we implemented DeepMind's recipe to boost the mathematical capabilities of open models at test-time.
🎄 Diverse Verifier Tree Search (DVTS): An unpublished extension we developed to the verifier-guided tree search technique. This simple yet effective method improves diversity and delivers better performance, particularly at large test-time compute budgets.
🧭 Search and Learn: A lightweight toolkit for implementing search strategies with LLMs and built for speed with vLLM
Here's the links:
- Blog post: HuggingFaceH4/blogpost-scaling-test-time-compute
- Code: https://github.com/huggingface/search-and-learn
Enjoy!
