Why I think local, open-source models will eventually win.

The most useful AI applications are moving toward multi-turn agentic behavior: systems that take hundreds or even thousands of iterative steps to complete a task, e.g. Claude Code, computer-control agents that click, type, and test repeatedly.

In these cases, the power of the model is not how smart it is per token, but in how quickly it can interact with its environment and tools across many steps. In that regime, model quality becomes secondary to latency.

An open-source model that can call tools quickly, check that the right thing was clicked, or verify that a code change actually passes tests can easily outperform a slightly โ€œsmarterโ€ closed model that has to make remote API calls for every move.

Eventually, the balance tips: it becomes impractical for an agent to rely on remote inference for every micro-action. Just as no one would tolerate a keyboard that required a network request per keystroke, users wonโ€™t accept agent workflows bottlenecked by latency. All devices will ship with local, open-source models that are โ€œgood enoughโ€ and the expectation will shift toward everything running locally. Itโ€™ll happen sooner than most people think.

Okay this is insane... WebGPU-accelerated semantic video tracking, powered by DINOv3 and Transformers.js! ๐Ÿคฏ
Demo (+ source code): webml-community/DINOv3-video-tracking

This will revolutionize AI-powered video editors... which can now run 100% locally in your browser, no server inference required (costs $0)! ๐Ÿ˜

How does it work? ๐Ÿค”
1๏ธโƒฃ Generate and cache image features for each frame
2๏ธโƒฃ Create a list of embeddings for selected patch(es)
3๏ธโƒฃ Compute cosine similarity between each patch and the selected patch(es)
4๏ธโƒฃ Highlight those whose score is above some threshold

... et voilร ! ๐Ÿฅณ

You can also make selections across frames to improve temporal consistency! This is super useful if the object changes its appearance slightly throughout the video.

Excited to see what the community builds with it!

The next generation of AI-powered websites is going to be WILD! ๐Ÿคฏ

In-browser tool calling & MCP is finally here, allowing LLMs to interact with websites programmatically.

To show what's possible, I built a demo using Liquid AI's new LFM2 model, powered by ๐Ÿค— Transformers.js: LiquidAI/LFM2-WebGPU

As always, the demo is open source (which you can find under the "Files" tab), so I'm excited to see how the community builds upon this! ๐Ÿš€

Excited to onboard FeatherlessAI on Hugging Face as an Inference Provider - they bring a fleet of 6,700+ LLMs on-demand on the Hugging Face Hub ๐Ÿคฏ

Starting today, you'd be able to access all those LLMs (OpenAI compatible) on HF model pages and via OpenAI client libraries too! ๐Ÿ’ฅ

Go, play with it today: https://huggingface.co/blog/inference-providers-featherless

P.S. They're also bringing on more GPUs to support all your concurrent requests!

The Gradio x Agents x MCP hackathon keeps growing! We now have more $1,000,000 in credit for participants and and >$16,000 in cash prizes for winners.

We've kept registration open until the end of this week, so join and let's build cool stuff together as a community: https://huggingface.co/spaces/ysharma/gradio-hackathon-registration-2025

hey hey @mradermacher - VB from Hugging Face here, we'd love to onboard you over to our optimised xet backend! ๐Ÿ’ฅ

as you know we're in the process of upgrading our storage backend to xet (which helps us scale and offer blazingly fast upload/ download speeds too): https://huggingface.co/blog/xet-on-the-hub and now that we are certain that the backend can scale with even big models like Llama 4/ Qwen 3 - we;re moving to the next phase of inviting impactful orgs and users on the hub over as you are a big part of the open source ML community - we would love to onboard you next and create some excitement about it in the community too!

in terms of actual steps - it should be as simple as one of the org admins to join hf.co/join/xet - we'll take care of the rest.

p.s. you'd need to have a the latest hf_xet version of huggingface_hub lib but everything else should be the same: https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/storage-backends#using-xet-storage

p.p.s. this is fully backwards compatible so everything will work as it should! ๐Ÿค—

HOW TO ADD MCP SUPPORT TO ANY ๐Ÿค— SPACE

Gradio now supports MCP! If you want to convert an existing Space, like this one hexgrad/Kokoro-TTS, so that you can use it with Claude Desktop / Cursor / Cline / TinyAgents / or any LLM that supports MCP, here's all you need to do:

1. Duplicate the Space (in the Settings Tab)
2. Upgrade the Gradio sdk_version to 5.28 (in the README.md)
3. Set mcp_server=True in launch()
4. (Optionally) add docstrings to the function so that the LLM knows how to use it, like this:

def generate(text, speed=1):
    """
    Convert text to speech audio.

    Parameters:
        text (str): The input text to be converted to speech.
        speed (float, optional): Playback speed of the generated speech.


That's it! Now your LLM will be able to talk to you ๐Ÿคฏ

Hi folks! Excited to share a new feature from the Gradio team along with a tutorial.

If you don't already know, Gradio is an open-source Python library used to build interfaces for machine learning models. Beyond just creating UIs, Gradio also exposes API capabilities and now, Gradio apps can be launched Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers for LLMs.

If you already know how to use Gradio, there are only two additional things you need to do:
* Add standard docstrings to your function (these will be used to generate the descriptions for your tools for the LLM)
* Set mcp_server=True in launch()


Here's a complete example (make sure you already have the latest version of Gradio installed):


import gradio as gr

def letter_counter(word, letter):
    """Count the occurrences of a specific letter in a word.
    
    Args:
        word: The word or phrase to analyze
        letter: The letter to count occurrences of
        
    Returns:
        The number of times the letter appears in the word
    """
    return word.lower().count(letter.lower())

demo = gr.Interface(
    fn=letter_counter,
    inputs=["text", "text"],
    outputs="number",
    title="Letter Counter",
    description="Count how many times a letter appears in a word"
)

demo.launch(mcp_server=True)



This is a very simple example, but you can add the ability to generate Ghibli images or speak emotions to any LLM that supports MCP. Once you have an MCP running locally, you can copy-paste the same app to host it on [Hugging Face Spaces](https://huggingface.co/spaces/) as well.

All free and open-source of course! Full tutorial: https://www.gradio.app/guides/building-mcp-server-with-gradio
