It's just become easier to share your apps on the biggest AI app store (aka HF spaces) for unlimited storage, more visibility and community interactions.
Just pick a React, Svelte, or Vue template when you create your space or add app_build_command: npm run build in your README's YAML and app_file: build/index.html in your README's YAML block.
Playing with Veo3 this morning. Share your prompt if you want me to create videos for you (bonus point if they funnily reference HF/open-source). These videos are "a cat on the moon rapping "I love Hugging Face""!
hey hey @mradermacher - VB from Hugging Face here, we'd love to onboard you over to our optimised xet backend! π₯
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.
What are you using to evaluate models or AI systems? So far we're building lighteval & leaderboards on the hub but still feels early & a lot more to build. What would be useful to you?
I just launched TTS Arena V2 - a platform for benchmarking TTS models by blind A/B testing. The goal is to make it easy to compare quality between open-source and commercial models, including conversational ones.
What's new in V2:
- **Conversational Arena**: Evaluate models like CSM-1B, Dia 1.6B, and PlayDialog in multi-turn settings - **Personal Leaderboard**: Optional login to see which models you tend to prefer - **Multi-speaker TTS**: Random voices per generation to reduce speaker bias - **Performance Upgrade**: Rebuilt from Gradio β Flask. Much faster with fewer failed generations. - **Keyboard Shortcuts**: Vote entirely via keyboard
Also added models like MegaTTS 3, Cartesia Sonic, and ElevenLabs' full lineup.
I'd love any feedback, feature suggestions, or ideas for models to include.
The meta-llama org just crossed 40,000 followers on Hugging Face. Grateful for all their impact on the field sharing the Llama weights openly and much more!
We need more of this from all other big tech to make the AI more open, collaborative and beneficial to all!
