I saw this yesterday. I'm wondering how hard it would be to pair the Mini Lite with a @homeassistant back end and let #HomeAssistant use it for sensors and as a satellite for voice commands. The article says they're "fully programmable in Python", so it FEELS like that should be a possibility, but I don't have the skill set that would be required to do that. I might buy one if I thought I could use one that way.

Hugging Face Reachy Mini: An open-source AI robot companion https://iottechnews.com/news/hugging-face-reachy-mini-an-open-source-ai-robot-companion/ #huggingface #robotics #opensource #developers #coding #programming #javascript #python #ai #robots #tech #news #technology

Hugging Face's $299 Reachy Mini just crashed the robotics pricing party. While others charge $70k for lab access, this 11-inch desk companion brings AI robotics to the masses. Sometimes disruption comes in surprisingly small packages.

Hugging Face’s Reachy Mini is an open source robot aimed at developers, priced at $299 and up

AI software company Hugging Face is now taking pre-orders for a small robot aimed at developers an folks learning to code. It’s called Reachy Mini, and it’s basically a programmable toy that sits on your desk and interacts with people around it by moving its head, rotating its body, or waving its antenna.

The robot comes in two versions: there’s a Reachy Mini Lite that costs $299 and which […]

Thrilled to share that, through a collaborative effort between the @OpenSearchProject and @huggingface neural sparse models are now available in the Sentence Transformers library.

The Sentence Transformers (a.k.a. SBERT) library, developed by @UKPLab and maintained by #HuggingFace, is a Python framework designed to generate semantically meaningful embeddings for sentences, paragraphs, and images.

Congrats to all involved!

We're like 2.5 years into this generative #AI thing and I *still* don't know what #huggingface is for except to charge me money to download models.

How have they managed to prevent #stableDiffusion from being free for this long?

Собираем MVP product search: дообучение E5 и веб-сервис для сравнения поисквых выдач

Что важнее: создать продукт , или доставить его до пользователя ? Оба этапа необходимы. Сегодня обсудим второй . Как нам построить поисковую e-com систему. Покажем, что в слово логистика товара входят сложные задачи не только: перевезти наушники из Китая в Америку , но и настройка поисковой выдачи по запросу. Быстро соберем поисковой MVP-сервис . Дообучим модель E5 на реальных данных от Amazon . Определим метрики качества и сравним BM25 , pretrain E5 и fine-tune E5 . Так же взглянем глазами с отладочной информацией и проанализируем изменения поисковых выдач . И под конец обсудим каких технологий еще не хватает и можно добавить, если возникают соответствующие трудности. Погрузиться в семантический поиск →

Cutting corners, reinventing the wheel, what could go wrong?!

I have not seen this in a long time.. It is modernity seemingly, they have to shut down the service in order to upgrade it.
Now, I am sure "AI/agentic" is NOT improving anything. Because it is Hugging Face, the face of "AI", they are at the forefront seemingly..

Hat hier jemand Erfahrung mit dem Betrieb eigener KI-Systeme? Nachdem der Chat von HuggingFace seine Tore sehr unerwartet und spontan geschlossen hat, bin ich auf der Suche nach freien Alternativen.
Eine Option könnte sein, so einen Chat mit den passenden LLMs selbst zu betreiben. Dafür wird dann aber eine vernünftige GPU nötig. GPU-Hosting scheint im Vergleich mit den gängigen V-Servern recht teuer zu sein. Zumindest für mich, ist das nichts, was ich ohne Finanzkonzept mal kurz buche ... Die günstigsten Preise lagen bei etwa um die 200 - 300 € pro Monat. Da scheint mir die Anschaffung eines lokalen Servers mit einer passenden Grafikkarte von Nvidia die mittelfristig günstigere Lösung.
Stimmt das? Übersehe ich dabei etwas?

Wie viele User können eigentlich auf so einem "simplen" Computer mit einer etwas besseren Grafikkarte parallel Anfragen stellen?

Hat hier einer / eine von euch Erfahrung und Tipps?
