DeepThought-8B Leverages LLaMA-3.1 8B to Create a Compact Reasoning Model

DeepThought-8B is a small “reasoning” model built on LLaMA-3.1 8B that can carry through decision-making processes step by step, similarly to how OpenAI o1 does but in a much smaller package.

Hugging Face Smolagents is a Simple Library to Build LLM-Powered Agents

Smolagents is a library created at Hugging Face to build agents based on large language models (LLMs). Hugging Faces says its new library aims to be simple and LLM-agnostic. It supports secure “agents that write their actions in code” and is integrated with Hugging Face Hub.

Nvidia Nemotron Models Aim to Accelerate AI Agent Development

Nvidia has launched Llama Nemotron large language models (LLMs) and Cosmos Nemotron vision language models (VLMs) with a special emphasis on workflows powered by AI agents such as customer support, fraud detection, product supply chain optimization, and more. Models in the Nemotron family come in Nano, Super, and Ultra sizes to better fit the requirements of diverse systems.

Nvidia Announces Arm-Powered Project Digits, Its First Personal AI Computer

Capable of running 200B-parameter models, Nvidia Project Digits packs the new Nvidia GB10 Grace Blackwell chip to allow developers to fine-tune and run AI models on their local machines. Starting at $3,000, Project Digits targets AI researchers, data scientists, and students to allow them to create their models using a desktop system and then deploy them on cloud or data center infrastructure.

Major LLMs Have the Capability to Pursue Hidden Goals, Researchers Find

Researchers at AI safety firm Apollo Research found that AI agents may covertly pursue misaligned goals and hide their true objectives. Known as in-context scheming, this behavior does not seem to be accidental as LLMs explicitly reason about deceptive strategies and consider them a viable strategy.
