Can you do RL over taste?
I've spent some time reproducing, in the open, Surya N's idea of training a model to paint with code. It's a coding model that learns to paint watercolours by writing JS code, trained with GRPO. I used TRL and OpenEnv for this, with the whole pipeline running on Hugging Face.
The interesting part is that the reward has no correct answer, unlike a math problem. In this case it's based on the artistic preferences of the person who builds the dataset.
Everything is published: the environment, the reference pool, the trained adapters, every painting of every run with the code that made it, and a write-up with all the decisions, including the ones that went wrong.

My (really ugly) thoughts on NVIDIA acquiring Hugging Face
I don’t care if you love me or hate me – something about one of the most open community efforts ever to achieve the tagline “The community building the future“ getting gobbled up by a company that arguably is the biggest hardware monopoly that has ever existed strikes me as deeply unsettling. I don’t like monopolies, and that is that. The whole appeal of HF for me personally was always having a neutral location where anyone could develop, deploy, and test a model on their silicon of choice without being pushed into a single “official“ proprietary infrastructure stack.
I am not going to pretend that I would believe NVIDIA “open and independent“ is ever going to happen – hell we have all heard the same lines dozens of times from every corporation that has ever uttered them before.
When the single biggest producer of compute also is one of the primary locations where all open weights live, it becomes very hard not to imagine where all of this is going to end up soon enough if we continue to let companies dictate the narrative. It might be the hyperbole but it is an absolute truth for me – open-sourced AI cannot be a slave to the whims of a trillion dollar company. It is high time we realize that open AI cannot live and breathe only on the goodwill of corporate entities.

🤖 Technology means power, and whoever owns the technology owns the power.
Thrilled to share insights from my recent interview with MIT Technology Review about the growing movement toward local LLMs and what it means for AI democratization. Read here: https://www.technologyreview.com/2025/07/17/1120391/how-to-run-an-llm-on-your-laptop/
🤔 Why this matters: When we use "free" online AI services, we're often the product. Our conversations become training data, our personal stories get "cooked into" models, and our privacy becomes a commodity. But there's an alternative path forward.
💡 The power shift is real: Local LLMs aren't just about privacy; they're about redistributing AI power away from a handful of tech giants. When individuals, organizations, and even entire nations can run their own models, we're democratizing access to AI capabilities.
🤗 At Hugging Face, we're proud to be at the center of this transformation. Our platform hosts the world's largest library of freely downloadable models, making cutting-edge AI accessible to everyone -- from researchers and developers to curious individuals who want to experiment on their laptops or even smartphones.
The technical barriers that once required $$$ server racks are crumbling. Today, anyone with basic computer skills can download a model, run it locally, and maintain complete control over their AI interactions. No sudden algorithm changes, no data harvesting, no corporate gatekeeping.
This is about technical convenience, but especially about technological sovereignty. When AI power is concentrated in a few hands, we risk creating new forms of digital dependency. Local models offer a path toward genuine AI literacy and independence.
🚀 The future of AI should be open, accessible, and in the hands of the many, not the few. What are your thoughts on AI democratization? Have you experimented with local models yet?

I couldn't watch innocent people get their rights trampled anymore. So I built something to help.
Stories of families torn apart, U.S. citizens detained for hours, people arrested just for speaking Spanish. This isn't the America I believe in.
Instead of doom-scrolling, I spent a few days building FIREWATCH - a free civil rights protection app.
What it does:
• Real-time ICE raid alerts
• Know Your Rights education in 10+ languages
• Secure evidence recording
• Emergency panic button
• Legal hotlines and resources
• 100% private, no tracking
The catch? There isn't one. You just need a free Google API key that stays on your device. Works completely offline.
https://firewatch-ice.vercel.app/
I built this because everyone deserves constitutional protection. The 4th Amendment doesn't have an asterisk.
If this helps one family stay safe, every sleepless night was worth it.
Please share with anyone who needs it.
Stay safe.
