🚀 Ever dreamed of training your own Large Language Model from scratch? What if I told you it doesn't require a supercomputer or PhD in ML? 🤯
Introducing LLM Trainer - the educational framework that makes LLM training accessible to EVERYONE! Whether you're on a CPU-only laptop or scaling to distributed GPUs, we've got you covered. 💻➡️🖥️
Why LLM Trainer? Because existing tools are either too simplistic (hiding the magic) or too complex (requiring expert knowledge). We bridge the gap with:
🎓 Educational transparency - every component built from scratch with clear code
💻 CPU-first approach - start training immediately, no GPU needed
🔧 Full customization - modify anything you want
📈 Seamless scaling - from laptop to cluster without code changes
🤝 HuggingFace integration - works with existing models & tokenizers
Key highlights:
✅ Built-in tokenizers (BPE, WordPiece, HF wrappers)
✅ Complete Transformer implementation from scratch
✅ Optimized for CPU training
✅ Advanced features: mixed precision, gradient checkpointing, multiple generation strategies
✅ Comprehensive monitoring & metrics
Perfect for:
- Students learning transformers
- Researchers prototyping new ideas
- Developers building domain-specific models
Ready to train your first LLM? It's easier than you think!

I fine-tuned a smol VLM to generate specialized art history metadata!
https://huggingface.co/davanstrien/iconclass-vlm: Qwen2.5-VL-3B trained using SFT to generate ICONCLASS codes (think Dewey Decimal for art!)
Trained with TRL + HF Jobs - single UV script, no GPU needed!
Space to explore predictions on a test set: davanstrien/iconclass-predictions
Blog soon!

> Think → Answer → Rethink → Improve → Rethink again if needed.
🔗 Try it now: HelpingAI/Dhanishtha-2.0-preview-0825
🔞 Dhanishtha NSFW Preview
For those exploring more expressive and immersive roleplay scenarios, we’re also releasing:
HelpingAI/Dhanishtha-nsfw
A specialized version tuned for adult-themed interactions and character-driven roleplay.
🔗 Explore it here: HelpingAI/Dhanishtha-nsfw
💬 You can also try all of these live at chat.helpingai.co

🚀 Optimum: The Last v1 Release 🚀
Optimum v1.27 marks the final major release in the v1 series. As we close this chapter, we're laying the groundwork for a more modular and community-driven future:
- Optimum v2: A lightweight core package for porting Transformers, Diffusers, or Sentence-Transformers to specialized AI hardware/software/accelerators..
- Optimum‑ONNX: A dedicated package where the ONNX/ONNX Runtime ecosystem lives and evolves, faster-moving and decoupled from the Optimum core.
🎯 Why this matters:
- A clearer governance path for ONNX, fostering stronger community collaboration and improved developer experience..
- Enable innovation at a faster pace in a more modular, open-source environment.
💡 What this means:
- More transparency, broader participation, and faster development driven by the community and key actors in the ONNX ecosystem (PyTorch, Microsoft, Joshua Lochner 👀, ...)
- A cleaner, more maintainable core Optimum, focused on extending HF libraries to special AI hardware/software/accelerators tooling and used by our partners (Intel Corporation, Amazon Web Services (AWS), AMD, NVIDIA, FuriosaAI, ...)
🛠️ Major updates I worked on in this release:
✅ Added support for Transformers v4.53 and SmolLM3 in ONNX/ONNXRuntime.
✅ Solved batched inference/generation for all supported decoder model architectures (LLMs).
✨ Big shoutout to @echarlaix for leading the refactoring work that cleanly separated ONNX exporter logic and enabled the creation of Optimum‑ONNX.
📝 Release Notes: https://lnkd.in/gXtE_qji

Qwen 3 Coder is a personal attack to k2, and I love it.
It achieves near SOTA on LCB while not having reasoning.
Finally people are understanding that reasoning isnt necessary for high benches...
Qwen ftw!

🎉 Dhanishtha-2.0-preview-0725 is Now Live
The Intermediate Thinking Model just got even better.
With the new update, Dhanishtha is now sharper, smarter, and trained further on tool use
🧠 What Makes Dhanishtha Different?
Unlike standard COT models that give one-shot responses, Dhanishtha thinks in layers:
> Think → Answer → Rethink → Improve → Rethink again if needed.

YAML engineering becomes more and more important than ever from infra provisioning to model training (recipes).
Here, I built a simple editor first for @dstackai , and I will share the live endpoint this week. Let me know what you think about this approach.
Based on this approach, if people think this is useful, I am going to do the same thing for the LLM training recipes for popular frameworks such as Hugging Face open-r1, Axolotl, and so on. Let me hear.

🎉 Dhanishtha 2.0 Preview is Now Open Source!
The world's first Intermediate Thinking Model is now available to everyone!
Dhanishtha 2.0 Preview brings revolutionary intermediate thinking capabilities to the open-source community. Unlike traditional reasoning models that think once, Dhanishtha can think, answer, rethink, answer again, and continue rethinking as needed using multiple
🚀 Key Features
- Intermediate thinking: Think → Answer → Rethink → Answer → Rethink if needed...
- Token efficient: Uses up to 79% fewer tokens than DeepSeek R1 on similar queries
- Transparent thinking: See the model's reasoning process in real-time
- Open source: Freely available for research and development

Introducing Dhanishtha 2.0: World's first Intermediate Thinking Model
Dhanishtha 2.0 is the world's first LLM designed to think between the responses. Unlike other Reasoning LLMs, which think just once.
Dhanishtha can think, rethink, self-evaluate, and refine in between responses using multiple <think> blocks.
This technique makes it Hinghlt Token efficient it Uses up to 79% fewer tokens than DeepSeek R1
---
You can try our model from: https://helpingai.co/chat
Also, we're gonna Open-Source Dhanistha on July 1st.

Inspired by Hugging Face's official MCP server, I've developed a complementary tool that exposes my semantic search API to enhance discovery across the HF platform.
Key capabilities:
- AI-powered semantic search for models and datasets
- Parameter count analysis via safetensors metadata
- Trending content discovery
- Find similar models/datasets functionality
- 11 tools total for enhanced ecosystem navigation
The semantic search goes beyond simple keyword matching, understanding context and relationships between different models and datasets.
Example query: "Find around 10 reasoning Hugging Face datasets published in 2025 focusing on topics other than maths and science. Show a link and a short summary for each dataset." (results in video!)
