𝗙𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗚𝗣𝗔𝗜 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗘𝗨 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 𝗧𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲? 🇪🇺

With the release of the EU data transparency template this week, we finally got to see one of the most meaningful artifacts to come out of the AI Act implementation so far (haven't you heard? AI's all about the data! 📊📚)

The impact of the template will depend on how effectively it establishes a minimum meaningful transparency standard for companies that don't otherwise offer any transparency into their handling of e.g. personal data or (anti?-)competitive practices in commercial licensing - we'll see how those play out as new models are released after August 2nd 👀


In the meantime, I wanted to see how the template works for a fully open-source + commercially viable model, so I filled it out for the SmolLM3 - which my colleagues at Hugging Face earlier this month 🤗 ICYMI, it's fully open-source with 3B parameters and performance matching the best similar-size models (I've switched all my local apps from Qwen3 to it, you should too 💡)

Verdict: congrats to the European Commission AI Office for making it so straightforward! Fully open and transparent models remain a cornerstone of informed regulation and governance, but the different organizational needs of their developers aren't always properly accounted for in new regulation. In this case, it took me all of two hours to fill out and publish the template (including reading the guidelines) - so kudos for making it feasible for smaller and distributed organizations 🙌 Definitely a step forward for transparency 🔍

To learn more have a look at:

- The SmolLM3 model: HuggingFaceTB/SmolLM3-3B
- Its filled out Public Summary of Training Content: hfmlsoc/smollm3-eu-data-transparency

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!)

Today in Privacy & AI Tooling - introducing a nifty new tool to examine where data goes in open-source apps on 🤗

HF Spaces have tons (100Ks!) of cool demos leveraging or examining AI systems - and because most of them are OSS we can see exactly how they handle user data 📚🔍

That requires actually reading the code though, which isn't always easy or quick! Good news: code LMs have gotten pretty good at automatic review, so we can offload some of the work - here I'm using Qwen/Qwen2.5-Coder-32B-Instruct to generate reports and it works pretty OK 🙌

The app works in three stages:
1. Download all code files
2. Use the Code LM to generate a detailed report pointing to code where data is transferred/(AI-)processed (screen 1)
3. Summarize the app's main functionality and data journeys (screen 2)
4. Build a Privacy TLDR with those inputs

It comes with a bunch of pre-reviewed apps/Spaces, great to see how many process data locally or through (private) HF endpoints 🤗

Note that this is a POC, lots of exciting work to do to make it more robust, so:
- try it: yjernite/space-privacy
- reach out to collab: yjernite/space-privacy

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.

📊 Introducing "Hugging Face Dataset Spotlight" 📊

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 😅

Here is an example for eth-nlped/stepverify

Hacked together a way to log trl GRPO training completions to a 🤗 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
Colab: https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1wzBFPVthRYYTp-mEYlznLg_e_0Za1M3g

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. 🙏
