Sharing how I built the LongCat-Video-Avatar 1.5 Space (+500k views on X) in one agent session. Gave a coding agent its own AI lab on ZeroGPU, framed the goal, walked away. It designed, deployed, tested against the live API, fixed, shipped.

Open agents on AWS SageMaker AI with open models from the Hugging Face Hub!

> Deploy an open model from the Hugging Face Hub on SageMaker AI
> Connect the deployed model to Strands Agents
> Add built-in and custom tools for tool calling
> Expose external capabilities through MCP integration
> Bonus: talk to your agent and visualize traces with Gradio

Latest hf-mem release added a breakdown of Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) memory usage!

TL; DR MoEs can be misleading to reason about from active parameters alone, since each token only activates a subset of experts, while the serving setup still needs to account for the full resident memory footprint.

🧠 hf-mem now splits MoE memory into base model weights, routed experts, and KV cache
🏗️ Dense models usually load and use most weights every forward pass, while MoEs load many experts but only route each token to a few of them
⚡ Active params isn't the same as memory footprint, especially for sparse architectures
📦 Runtime memory is about what is used per request/token, while loading memory also includes the expert weights that need to be resident
📚 KV cache can still dominate depending on context length, batch size, and concurrency
🔀 Expert Parallelism (EP) helps shard experts across accelerators when expert weights dominate
🚀 Data Parallelism (DP) + EP is often a good fit for throughput-oriented MoE serving

Want to share my enthusiasm for zai-org/GLM-5.1 here too 🔥

I think we have it: our open source Claude Code = GLM-5.1 + Pi (https://pi.dev/) - Built a Three.js racing game to eval and it's extremely impressive. Thoughts:

- One-shot car physics with real drift mechanics (this is hard)

- My fav part: Awesome at self iterating (with no vision!) created 20+ Bun.WebView debugging tools to drive the car programmatically and read game state. Proved a winding bug with vector math without ever seeing the screen

- 531-line racing AI in a single write: 4 personalities, curvature map, racing lines, tactical drifting. Built telemetry tools to compare player vs AI speed curves and data-tuned parameters

- All assets from scratch: 3D models, procedural textures, sky shader, engine sounds, spatial AI audio!

- Can do hard math: proved road normals pointed DOWN via vector cross products, computed track curvature normalized by arc length to tune AI cornering speed

You are going to hear about this model a lot in the next months - open source let's go - and thanks z-ai🚀🚀

Interesting article: use Claude Code to help open models write CUDA kernels (for eg) by turning CC traces into Skills. They made a library out of it 👀

💥 hf-mem v0.4.1 now also estimates KV cache memory requirements for any context length and batch size with the --experimental flag!

uvx hf-mem --model-id ... --experimental will automatically pull the required information from the Hugging Face Hub to include the KV cache estimation, when applicable.

💡 Alternatively, you can also set the --max-model-len, --batch-size and --kv-cache-dtype arguments (à la vLLM) manually if preferred.

👉 What happened in AI in 2025? 👈

We prepared the 2025 version of the HF AI Timeline Grid, highlighting open vs API-based model releases, and allowing you to browse and filter by access, modality, and release type!

Play with it here:
2025-ai-timeline/2025-ai-timeline

Here's my personal quarterly TL;DR:

1️⃣ Q1 — Learning to Reason
Deepseek not only releases a top-notch reasoning model, but shows how to train them and compete with closed frontier models. OpenAI debuts Deep Research.

Significant milestones: DeepSeek R1 & R1-Zero, Qwen 2.5 VL, OpenAI Deep Research, Gemini 2.5 Pro (experimental)

2️⃣ Q2 — Multimodality and Coding
More LLMs embrace multimodality by default, and there's a surge in coding agents. Strong vision, audio, and generative models emerge.

Significant milestones: Llama 4, Qwen 3, Imagen 4, OpenAI Codex, Google Jules, Claude 4

3️⃣ Q3 — "Gold" rush, OpenAI opens up, the community goes bananas
Flagship models get gold in Math olympiads and hard benchmarks. OpenAI releases strong open source models and Google releases the much anticipated nano-banana for image generation and editing. Agentic workflows become commonplace.

Significant milestones: Gemini and OpenAI IMO Gold, gpt-oss, Gemini 2.5 Flash Image, Grok 4, Claude Sonnet 4.5

4️⃣ Q4 — Mistral returns, leaderboard hill-climbing
Mistral is back with updated model families. All labs release impressive models to wrap up the year!

Significant milestones: Claude Opus 4.5, DeepSeek Math V2, FLUX 2, GPT 5.1, Kimi K2 Thinking, Nano Banana Pro, GLM 4.7, Gemini 3, Mistral 3, MiniMax M2.1 🤯

🙏 NHLOCAL for the source data https://github.com/NHLOCAL/AiTimeline

🫡 @reach-vb for the original idea, design and recipe

🙌 @ariG23498 and yours truly for compiling and verifying the 2025 edition

🥳 Here's to 2026, wishing it becomes the best year ever for open releases and on-device-first use-cases! 🥂

We've improved the Deploy button on Hugging Face model pages for Microsoft Azure

1/ no more long waits before seeing model support status

2/ ready-to-use CLI and Python snippets

3/ redirection to Azure AI Foundry rather than Azure ML
