I'm currently on a push to expand the scope of image based datasets on the Hub. There's certainly a lot already, but for anyone who's looked closely, there's not a whole lot of standardization. I am to fix that, datasets under the https://huggingface.co/timm and https://huggingface.co/pixparse orgs will serve as canonical examples for various task / modality combinations and be useable without fuss in libraries like
I just uploaded the first multi-label dataset that I'll support with
Next up object detection & segmentation! I've got an annotation spec sorted out, a lot of datasets ready to rip, and yeah that means
timm, OpenCLIP, and hopefully more.I just uploaded the first multi-label dataset that I'll support with
timm scripts soon:

Want to validate some hparams or figure out what
I had this sitting on my drive and forgot where I pulled it together from. It's 100 classes of imagenet, 50k train and 10k val images (from ImageNet-1k train set), and 5k test images (from ImageNet-1k val set). 7.4GB instead of > 100GB for the full ImageNet-1k. This ver is not reduced resolution like some other 'mini' versions. Super easy to use with timm train/val scripts, checkout the dataset card.
I often check fine-tuning with even smaller datasets like:
* timm/resisc45
* timm/oxford-iiit-pet
But those are a bit small to train any modest size model w/o starting from pretrained weights.
timm model to use before commiting to download or training with a large dataset? Try mini-imagenet:

@Jesse-marqo
and the Marqo team are killing it on the Hub: top embedding models and datasets!
Here's how to start using their new evaluation dataset for curation and labelling:
1. Deploy Argilla on Spaces: https://huggingface.co/new-space?template=argilla%2Fargilla-template-space
2. Load Marqo/amazon-products-eval with the UI wizard.
3. Start curating!

New MobileNetV4 weights were uploaded a few days ago -- more ImageNet-12k training at 384x384 for the speedy 'Conv Medium' models.
There are 3 weight variants here for those who like to tinker. On my hold-out eval they are ordered as below, not that different, but the Adopt 180 epochs closer to AdamW 250 than to AdamW 180.
* AdamW for 250 epochs - timm/mobilenetv4_conv_medium.e250_r384_in12k
* Adopt for 180 epochs - timm/mobilenetv4_conv_medium.e180_ad_r384_in12k
* AdamW for 180 epochs - timm/mobilenetv4_conv_medium.e180_r384_in12k
This was by request as a user reported impressive results using the 'Conv Large' ImagNet-12k pretrains as object detection backbones. ImageNet-1k fine-tunes are pending, the weights do behave differently with the 180 vs 250 epochs and the Adopt vs AdamW optimizer.

@huggingface
Hub. It wouldn't be there without the hundreds of community contributions and feedback! No matter if you are loading a model, sharing a dataset, running remote inference or starting jobs on our infra, you are for sure using it!

π Hi Gradio community,
I'm excited to share that Gradio 5 will launch in October with improvements across security, performance, SEO, design (see the screenshot for Gradio 4 vs. Gradio 5), and user experience, making Gradio a mature framework for web-based ML applications.
Gradio 5 is currently in beta, so if you'd like to try it out early, please refer to the instructions below:
---------- Installation -------------
Gradio 5 depends on Python 3.10 or higher, so if you are running Gradio locally, please ensure that you have Python 3.10 or higher, or download it here: https://www.python.org/downloads/
* Locally: If you are running gradio locally, simply install the release candidate with
* Spaces: If you would like to update an existing gradio Space to use Gradio 5, you can simply update the
In most cases, thatβs all you have to do to run Gradio 5.0. If you start your Gradio application, you should see your Gradio app running, with a fresh new UI.

A 'small' MobileNet-V4 update, I just pushed weights for the smallest model I've trained in the series, a 0.5 width multiplier version of the MobileNet-V4 Conv Small.
Now you may look at this and say hey, why is this impressive? 64.8% top-1 and 2.2M params? MobileNetV3-Small 0.75, and MobileNet-V2 0.5 are both fewer params (at ~2M) and over 65% top-1, what gives? Well this is where MobileNet-V4 differs from the previous versions of the model family, it trades off (gives up) a little parameter efficiency for some computational efficiency.
So, let's look at the speed. On a 4090 w/ torchcompile
* 98K img/sec - timm/mobilenetv4_conv_small_050.e3000_r224_in1k
* 58K img/sec - timm/mobilenetv3_small_075.lamb_in1k
* 37K img/sec - timm/mobilenetv2_050.lamb_in1k
And there you go, if you have a need for speed, MNV4 is the better option.

Hello everybody,
We've rolled out a major update to ZeroGPU! All the Spaces are now running on it.
Major improvements:
1. GPU cold starts about twice as fast!
2. RAM usage reduced by two-thirds, allowing more effective resource usage, meaning more GPUs for the community!
3. ZeroGPU initializations (coldstarts) can now be tracked and displayed (use
4. Improved compatibility and PyTorch integration, increasing ZeroGPU compatible spaces without requiring any modifications!
Feel free to answer in the post if you have any questions
π€ Best regards,
Charles

If you have documents that do not only have text and you're doing retrieval or RAG (using OCR and LLMs), give it up and give ColPali and vision language models a try π€
Why? Documents consist of multiple modalities: layout, table, text, chart, images. Document processing pipelines often consist of multiple models and they're immensely brittle and slow. π₯²
How? ColPali is a ColBERT-like document retrieval model built on PaliGemma, it operates over image patches directly, and indexing takes far less time with more accuracy. You can use it for retrieval, and if you want to do retrieval augmented generation, find the closest document, and do not process it, give it directly to a VLM like Qwen2-VL (as image input) and give your text query. π€
This is much faster + you do not lose out on any information + much easier to maintain too! π₯³

The new Qwen-2 VL models seem to perform quite well in object detection. You can prompt them to respond with bounding boxes in a reference frame of 1k x 1k pixels and scale those boxes to the original image size.

Also worth pointing out, there are three rather newish 'test' models that you'll see at the top of any samples/sec comparison:
* test_vit ( timm/test_vit.r160_in1k)
* test_efficientnet ( timm/test_efficientnet.r160_in1k)
* test_byobnet ( timm/test_byobnet.r160_in1k, a mix of resnet, darknet, effnet/regnet like blocks)
They are < 0.5M params, insanely fast and originally intended for unit testing w/ real weights. They have awful ImageNet top-1, it's rare to have anyone bother to train a model this small on ImageNet (the classifier is roughly 30-70% of the param count!). However, they are FAST on very limited hadware and you can fine-tune them well on small data. Could be the model you're looking for?
