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!

I fine-tuned a smol VLM to generate specialized art history metadata!
https://huggingface.co/davanstrien/iconclass-vlm: Qwen2.5-VL-3B trained using SFT to generate ICONCLASS codes (think Dewey Decimal for art!)
Trained with TRL + HF Jobs - single UV script, no GPU needed!
Space to explore predictions on a test set: davanstrien/iconclass-predictions
Blog soon!

Supercharge Apple’s Shortcuts using Cloudflare Workers and Gemini within minutes (and for free, up to 1,500 requests per day) ☁️✨
Hello everyone, last week, while experimenting for fun, I created an API that allows you to easily access AI models (in this case, Google's) from the Shortcut app in order to analyze data from my apps and make the most of it thanks to the generative capabilities of advanced models.
It costs me nothing, and I think it might be good to share it so that others can build on it.
In README.md, you will find everything you need to get started and put your own microservice into production, which you can call from the app’s HTTP request features.
You will simply be asked to have a free Cloudflare account and an API key obtained from Google's AI Studio.
Feel free to take a look and get back to me if you encounter any problems during deployment.
Here is the GitHub repo where you can find all the source code and run it on your own: https://github.com/louisbrulenaudet/genai-api

Although more and more code editors are aligning themselves with the AGENTS.md file standard, some still use specific nomenclatures that can make it difficult to maintain different configuration files when several people are working on the same project with different agents.
Bodyboard addresses this by generating canonical instructions for code helpers from a single AGENTS.md file, thereby streamlining the production of adapter outputs for Gemini CLI, Copilot, Cline, Claude, Rules, Windsurf, and OpenAI Codex integrations.
You just have to:
Then run, at the root of your project:
Link to npm: https://www.npmjs.com/package/bodyboard
Link to the GitHub repo: https://github.com/louisbrulenaudet/bodyboard
It's a very simple project, but it addresses certain issues I've encountered, so why not make it available to everyone...
If you have other ideas for adapters to create, feel free to open a PR on the GitHub repo.

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
- And if you're interested, some previous remarks on regulatory minimum meaningful standards for data disclosure: https://huggingface.co/blog/yjernite/naiac-data-transparency

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.

Because hackathons are often the starting point for many AI projects, I've created a Python-backend template incorporating my feedback to streamline collaboration and urgent deployments 🏎️
Within a year, I had the opportunity to participate in hackathons organized by Mistral, OpenAI, and DeepMind and this GitHub template is structured around several fundamental building blocks and recommendations I offer developers eager to participate in their first hackathon, whether as part of a team or individually. Its emphasis is on rapid setup and deployment through:
- uv as a package manager, simplifying usage via a series of pre-configured make commands.
- FastAPI for API management, structured in a modular architecture designed to minimize branch conflicts during merges to main branches (using minimal health-check and ping routes to verify Docker’s proper execution and backend accessibility on the local network).
- Pydantic for validation and type handling, which simplifies debugging and enhances understanding of data objects.
- A set of custom instructions tailored for agents (Cline and GitHub Copilot), aimed at improving overall comprehension of the application and optimizing the vibe-coding experience.
This template includes unit tests with a 100% success rate and test coverage, as well as a minimal CI file ensuring that the FastAPI application runs correctly. Thus, merging code that breaks the server into production becomes impossible ⛔️
In general, I would reiterate an essential piece of advice: your two main adversaries are branch conflicts—particularly when the same file is modified concurrently within a brief period, especially if your architecture isn’t built for scalability—and deployment issues under urgent circumstances ⏱️

🌐 Clinical Trials Dataset now available on Hugging Face! 🧬
I’ve just released a comprehensive, ML-ready dataset featuring 500,000+ clinical trial records sourced directly from ClinicalTrials.gov for biomedical NLP, healthcare analytics, and clinical research applications 🤗
I wanted to produce the most complete and up-to-date dump with all raw data partially flattened to simplify extraction, self-querying and processing.
Do you have any ideas about what we can do with it? Using descriptions to enhance specialized embedding models?
