Want to learn to build an AI Agent? I put together a cookbook for creating your own news research agent with OpenAI GPT-OSS:
- Searches headlines & specific sites
- Pulls full articles when you need depth
- Summarizes with clickable sources
- Runs in a simple Gradio chat UI
- No GPU, no local setup — just open-weight GPT-OSS models via Hugging Face
If you’ve been wanting to try agents but weren’t sure where to start, this is an end-to-end example you can fork, run, and adapt.

What can OpenAI’s new open models do with the news? I built a News Agent to find out.
It can answer questions about the news in real time, and every answer comes with original source links so you can dive deeper.
Ask it things like:
- "What are the top news stories today?"
- "What's the latest on artificial intelligence?"
- Follow-up questions on specific stories
Runs with Hugging Face inference providers, letting you compare results from the OpenAI 20B and 120B models
So far, I’m quite impressed by the capabilities of even the smaller 20B model. Definitely not a perfect project, but curious to hear your thoughts!

OpenAI’s GPT-OSS has sparked ~400 new models on Hugging Face and racked up 5M downloads in less than a week, already outpacing DeepSeek R1’s first-week numbers.
For comparison: when R1 launched, I tracked 550 derivatives (across 8 base models) in a week, with ~3M downloads. GPT-OSS is ahead on adoption and engagement.
It’s also the most-liked release of any major LLM this summer. The 20B and 120B versions quickly shot past Kimi K2, GLM 4.5, and others in likes.
Most-downloaded GPT-OSS models include LM Studio and Unsloth AI versions:
1️⃣ openai/gpt-oss-20b - 2.0M
2️⃣ lmstudio-community/gpt-oss-20b-MLX-8bit - 750K
3️⃣ openai/gpt-oss-120b - 430K
4️⃣ unsloth/gpt-oss-20b-GGUF - 380K
5️⃣ lmstudio-community/gpt-oss-20b-GGUF - 330K
The 20B version is clearly finding its audience, showing the power of smaller, faster, more memory- and energy-efficient models. (These numbers don’t include calls to the models via inference providers, so the real usage is likely even bigger, especially for the 120B version)
Open-weight models let anyone build on top. Empower the builders, and innovation takes off. 🚀

AudioRAG is becoming real! Just built a demo with ColQwen-Omni that does semantic search on raw audio, no transcription needed.
Drop in a podcast, ask your question, and it finds the exact chunks where it happens. You can also get a written answer.
What’s exciting: it skips transcription, making it faster and better at capturing emotion, ambient sound, and tone, surfacing results text search would miss.

You might not have heard of Moonshot AI — but within 24 hours, their new model Kimi K2 shot to the top of Hugging Face’s trending leaderboard.
So… who are they, and why does it matter?
Had a lot of fun co-writing this blog post with @xianbao , with key insights translated from Chinese, to unpack how this startup built a model that outperforms GPT-4.1, Claude Opus, and DeepSeek V3 on several major benchmarks.
🧵 A few standout facts:
1. From zero to $3.3B in 18 months:
Founded in March 2023, Moonshot is now backed by Alibaba, Tencent, Meituan, and HongShan.
2. A CEO who thinks from the end:
Yang Zhilin (31) previously worked at Meta AI, Google Brain, and Carnegie Mellon. His vision? Nothing less than AGI — still a rare ambition among Chinese AI labs.
3. A trillion-parameter model that’s surprisingly efficient:
Kimi K2 uses a mixture-of-experts architecture (32B active params per inference) and dominates on coding/math benchmarks.
4. The secret weapon: Muon optimizer:
A new training method that doubles efficiency, cuts memory in half, and ran 15.5T tokens with zero failures. Big implications.
Most importantly, their move from closed to open source signals a broader shift in China’s AI scene — following Baidu’s pivot. But as Yang puts it: “Users are the only real leaderboard.”
👇 Check out the full post to explore what Kimi K2 can do, how to try it, and why it matters for the future of open-source LLMs:

AI is reshaping everything—how we work, how we feel, even how nations compete.
Today’s reads cut across power, emotion, and disruption.
Here’s what stood out and why it matters 👇
AI might “solve” loneliness, but this could be a problem, as the discomfort of loneliness shapes us in important ways. 💔 https://t.co/k2Q9le6G0P
A new study warns of significant risks in using AI therapy chatbots, highlighting issues like stigmatization and inappropriate responses. 🤖 https://t.co/EFyW0RbYVl
AI is already showing signs of slashing job openings in the UK, particularly in roles exposed to the technology, suggesting a labor market slowdown. 📉 https://t.co/hhs0BbqIMa
AI firms like OpenAI are poaching Wall Street quants with massive paydays, shifting the talent landscape for building artificial general intelligence. 💰 https://www.businessinsider.com/ai-talent-openai-wall-street-quant-trading-firms-2025-7
Speaking of which: Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang disagrees with Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei on whether AI will create more jobs—or trigger a “white-collar apocalypse.” Huang believes AI will create vastly more, and better, jobs. ⚔️ https://t.co/YHWhY7qvSq
Can Nvidia convince governments to pay for “sovereign AI”? Politicians are warming to the idea of national AI systems, but it might not reduce dependence on US tech. 🌍 https://t.co/htQDzJAIDu

What if you could extract, summarize, classify, or translate spreadsheet content with AI?
AI Sheets just dropped, and honestly I would’ve killed for this when I was doing data journalism a few years ago.
I just tested it on two real examples:
- Classified a politician's entire expense report in seconds
- Translated a blog post from English to French with one prompt
No coding, no complex formulas, no switching between different tools. You can either generate datasets from scratch, or expand and transform CSVs + Hugging Face datasets.
Kudos @dvilasuero Amélie Viallet and the team!

MCP just hit a tipping point:
- @hf .co made it dead simple: just type "hf.co/mcp" in your chat. No JSON wrestling, no config files.
- Meanwhile, OpenAI, Google, and Microsoft all adopted it as their standard.

This is the story of how open source AI created a $3M business for a news company:
Clare Spencer tells on the GAIN blog how a Danish software engineer found OpenAI's Whisper model and turned it into Good Tape. It's now generating $3M ARR for news service Zetland.
Great playbook on how to build a good product:
- This idea came from a software engineer, Jakob Steinn, who was not only able to spot a new model, but also listen to feedback from his colleagues in the newsrooms (he thought they would use it for translation, but they were more interested in transcription in Danish)
- They built iteratively: they went from running the model in the terminal to a notebook to a full-fledged web interface
- They didn't just wrap the API. They rebuilt the transcription engine from scratch, moved it to TPUs for 45-second processing of hour-long audio, and added EU-based data sovereignty
Now Good Tape has 2.5M users worldwide, with only 30-35% being journalists.
Small languages (Danish, Finnish, Croatian, Hebrew) were underserved by existing tools - suddenly there's a "very very big market" when you put them together.
This shows how open source AI can solve real workflow problems and create sustainable businesses. Sometimes the best opportunities emerge from solving your own daily problems.

Just completed the AI Agents course and wow, that capstone project really makes you understand how to build agents that can handle real-world complexity!
The final project uses the GAIA dataset - your agent has to solve tasks like analyzing Excel files, processing audio recordings, answering questions about YouTube videos, and diving into research papers. This isn't toy examples, it's the messy, multimodal stuff agents need to handle in practice.
Whether you’re just getting started with agents or want to go deeper with tools like LangChain, LlamaIndex, and SmolAgents, this course has tons of useful stuff. A few key insights:
- Code agents are incredibly versatile once you get the architecture right
- The sweet spot is finding the right balance of guidance vs autonomy for each use case
- Once the logic clicks, the possibilities really are endless - it's like letting LLMs break free from the chatbox
The course is free and the certification deadline is July 1st, 2025.
The Hugging Face team built something special here. If you're tired of AI that impresses in demos but fails in practice, this is your path to building agents that actually deliver. https://huggingface.co/learn/agents-course/unit0/introduction
Best part? There's the MCP course next!

Two lines in your terminal and you have an AI agent running whatever model and tools you want 🤯
Just tried the new Tiny Agents in Python. Asked it which team won the Italian Serie A soccer league and to export the final table to CSV. Coolest thing is you can interact with the agent, guide it, and correct its mistakes.
The agent connected to web browsing tools, searched for Serie A standings, identified the champion, and generated a CSV export.
The setup:
That's it. The MCP protocol handles all the tool integrations automatically - no custom APIs to write, no complex setups. Want file system access? It's already there. Need web browsing? Built in.
You can swap models, change inference providers, run local models, or add new tools just by editing a simple JSON config. You can also use Gradio Spaces as MCP servers! The entire agent is ~70 lines of Python - essentially a while loop that streams responses and executes tools. Everything is open-source. ❤️ Hugging Face
