👉 What happened in AI in 2025? 👈
We prepared the 2025 version of the HF AI Timeline Grid, highlighting open vs API-based model releases, and allowing you to browse and filter by access, modality, and release type!
Play with it here:
2025-ai-timeline/2025-ai-timeline
Here's my personal quarterly TL;DR:
1️⃣ Q1 — Learning to Reason
Deepseek not only releases a top-notch reasoning model, but shows how to train them and compete with closed frontier models. OpenAI debuts Deep Research.
Significant milestones: DeepSeek R1 & R1-Zero, Qwen 2.5 VL, OpenAI Deep Research, Gemini 2.5 Pro (experimental)
2️⃣ Q2 — Multimodality and Coding
More LLMs embrace multimodality by default, and there's a surge in coding agents. Strong vision, audio, and generative models emerge.
Significant milestones: Llama 4, Qwen 3, Imagen 4, OpenAI Codex, Google Jules, Claude 4
3️⃣ Q3 — "Gold" rush, OpenAI opens up, the community goes bananas
Flagship models get gold in Math olympiads and hard benchmarks. OpenAI releases strong open source models and Google releases the much anticipated nano-banana for image generation and editing. Agentic workflows become commonplace.
Significant milestones: Gemini and OpenAI IMO Gold, gpt-oss, Gemini 2.5 Flash Image, Grok 4, Claude Sonnet 4.5
4️⃣ Q4 — Mistral returns, leaderboard hill-climbing
Mistral is back with updated model families. All labs release impressive models to wrap up the year!
Significant milestones: Claude Opus 4.5, DeepSeek Math V2, FLUX 2, GPT 5.1, Kimi K2 Thinking, Nano Banana Pro, GLM 4.7, Gemini 3, Mistral 3, MiniMax M2.1 🤯

deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-OCR is out! 🔥 my take ⤵️
> pretty insane it can parse and re-render charts in HTML
> it uses CLIP and SAM features concatenated, so better grounding
> very efficient per vision tokens/performance ratio
> covers 100 languages

IBM just released small swiss army knife for the document models: granite-docling-258M on Hugging Face 🔥
> not only a document converter but also can do document question answering, understand multiple languages 🤯
> best part: released with Apache 2.0 license 👏 use it with your commercial projects!
> it supports transformers, vLLM and MLX from the get-go! 🤗
> built on SigLIP2 & granite-165M
model: ibm-granite/granite-docling-258M
demo: ibm-granite/granite-docling-258m-demo 💗

We're kick-starting the process of Transformers v5, with @ArthurZ and @cyrilvallez !
v5 should be significant: we're using it as a milestone for performance optimizations, saner defaults, and a much cleaner code base worthy of 2025.
Fun fact: v4.0.0-rc-1 came out on Nov 19, 2020, nearly five years ago!

upgrade your transformers 🔥
it comes with insanely capable models like merve/sam2-66ac9deac6fca3bc5482fe30, microsoft/kosmos-2.5, and more 🫡
I built a notebook you can run with free Colab T4 to walk through the API for new models 🙋🏻♀️ merve/smol-vision
fine-tuning will follow-up soon!

Super excited to announce that our research team at Hugging Face will be doing an AMA on reddit r/LocalLLaMA.
Come ask any questions to the team behind SmolLM, FineWeb and more! And who knows, maybe there’ll be a shiny new release to talk about?
Thursday 4th September, 8AM-11AM PST 🤗
