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!

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!)

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!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TgmRq45tW4

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:
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. 🙏

Why choose between strong LLM reasoning and efficient models?
Use DeepSeek to generate high-quality training data, then distil that knowledge into ModernBERT answerdotai/ModernBERT-base for fast, efficient classification.

Updated the ColPali Query Generator Space
davanstrien/ColPali-Query-Generator to use
Qwen/Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct.
Given an input image, it generates several queries along with explanations to justify them. This approach can generate synthetic data for fine-tuning ColPali models.
