@krasul and @NielsRogge are 100% the best people on time-series (w or without transformers)

I love those sections on the experimental nitty gritty of LLM training. I think they could be titled "Is this Machine learning, or Alchemy" 😅 From the OPT paper https://t.co/mw8ny2Yf6j by @stephenroller and team 🔥 PS/ Hopefully weights will be soon on @huggingface!

And @mervenoyann is working on some Keras and TF training scripts!! 🔥🔥

We just started our first ever ✨ Computer Vision ✨ community event. Register on Discord, or just jump straight to the really awesome material/code from @NielsRogge @_nateraw @osanseviero, at https://t.co/HM2EQsBDXI Hoping to upload a few models and demos too 🤞

The training of @BigScienceLLM aka. the largest *open source* language model has started a few days ago We track the training's progress in real-time on @huggingface homepage 🔥🔥 Let's see if that loss converges 👀 H/t @severo_dev @StasBekman and the whole @BigscienceW team!

Are you interested in Inference optimization? 🔥 Step 1: export your model to ONNX directly from transformers: https://t.co/fpkNozOCHZ 🏎 Step 2: Use our new repo Optimum https://t.co/GcgwzGzf2R to optimize your ONNX (operator fusion etc), including to a target hardware

if you have any custom model implementation, it now takes 1 line of code to have a `from_pretrained` method that loads pretrained weights from https://t.co/BW2WwWwU96 ❤️ Doc page: https://t.co/syIoDUwv0P cc @GuggerSylvain @LysandreJik 💙

Phil Wang aka `lucidrains` wrote yet another awesome PyTorch implementation, this time of Enformer, Deepmind's model for predicting gene expression. Thanks to @NielsRogge we can now load the pretrained models from the huggingface hub directly from the Enformer codebase 🔥

Had a great lunch with @mnlpariente creator of the Asteroid open source library for audio source separation 🔥 Fun fact: along with @ai2_allennlp Asteroid was the first third-party library that supported loading models from the @huggingface Hub 😎

Anyone knows what a Feature store is (in the context of ML) and can ELI5 it to me?

Shared by Julien Chaumond at 11/15/2021

It’s been one year to the day that we implemented git hosting for models and datasets on @huggingface 🎂1️⃣ Before that we had our own custom solution on top of S3. I think it was a really good decision to switch 🙂

GAME-CHANGING FEATURE! So proud of the whole team for shipping this.

personally a bit bored by 530 billion parameters models I'd be more interested in a model that can be used or researched by 530 million humans

Congrats on the 1.0 release, @streamlit! 🔥🔥 And very timely blog from @mervenoyann on how to build cool Streamlit apps for dataset visualization or model inference, on https://t.co/BW2WwWfiKw ⤵️

Woohoo! Some of my models are now compatible with @huggingface AutoNLP! 😍 Fine-tuning them on your own domain or task is now just a matter of minutes Try it out by clicking on "Train" on these model pages: https://t.co/SaDXXl17Qy

🔥 Hub Update: We now validate the license identifiers you can use in your models & dataset cards. We also migrated the existing repos to those standardized identifiers, hat/tip @elias_showk 🙏. Full list of licenses is at https://t.co/0s5eU1vun9 ➡️we now have cleaner filter:

We just added support for **Tensorboard for private models** 🔥 Just push your TensorBoard traces to any model repo (public or private) and we automatically spawn a TensorBoard server to visualize them. See latest models that include TensorBoard traces➡️ https://t.co/weJdTmjroI

Reminder that if you're building a @gradio app (for instance on @huggingface Spaces) and computation time is long, you should add `enable_queue=True` to your gr.Interface() so user requests are queued (with a position indicator) 🔥 See screencap to see the UI in action
