What are you using to evaluate models or AI systems? So far we're building lighteval & leaderboards on the hub but still feels early & a lot more to build. What would be useful to you?

Forget everything you know about transcription models - NVIDIA's parakeet-tdt-0.6b-v2 changed the game for me!
Just tested it with Steve Jobs' Stanford speech and was speechless (pun intended). The video isn’t sped up.
3 things that floored me:
- Transcription took just 10 seconds for a 15-min file
- Got a CSV with perfect timestamps, punctuation & capitalization
- Stunning accuracy (correctly captured "Reed College" and other specifics)
NVIDIA also released a demo where you can click any transcribed segment to play it instantly.
The improvement is significant: number 1 on the ASR Leaderboard, 6% error rate (best in class) with complete commercial freedom (cc-by-4.0 license).
Time to update those Whisper pipelines! H/t @Steveeeeeeen for the finding!

PSA for anyone using
Both of these themes have been updated to fix some of the long-standing inconsistencies ever since the transition to Gradio v5. Textboxes are no longer bright green and
If your space is already using one of these themes, you just need to restart your space to get the latest version. No code changes needed.

I just gave my chatbots a massive upgrade: they can now generate audio from text, modify images — you name it. Here’s how:
The Gradio team shipped MCP support. That means you can plug any AI app built with it into Claude or Cursor using the Model Context Protocol (MCP) — think of it like a USB port for LLMs.
I put it to the test:
- Whipped up a quick text-to-speech app with Kokoro on HF (with an LLM riding shotgun, naturally)
- Added "mcp_server=True" in the code
- Connected it to Claude
Now I can generate audio from any text. The possibilities are next-level: you can potentially plug any of the 500K+ AI apps on Hugging Face to your favorite LLM.
Is this the new UI for AI?

Want to know which AI models are least likely to hallucinate — and how to keep yours from spiking hallucinations by 20%?
A new benchmark called Phare, by Giskard, tested leading models across multiple languages, revealing three key findings:
1️⃣ Popular models aren't necessarily factual. Some models ranking highest in user satisfaction benchmarks like LMArena are actually more prone to hallucination.
2️⃣ The way you ask matters - a lot. When users present claims confidently ("My teacher said..."), models are 15% less likely to correct misinformation vs. neutral framing ("I heard...").
3️⃣ Telling models to "be concise" can increase hallucination by up to 20%.
What's also cool is that the full dataset is public - use them to test your own models or dive deeper into the results! H/t @davidberenstein1957 for the link.

Energy is a massive constraint for AI but do you even know what energy your chatGPT convos are using?
We're trying to change this by releasing ChatUI-energy, the first interface where you see in real-time what energy your AI conversations consume. Great work from @jdelavande powered by spaces & TGI, available for a dozen of open-source models like Llama, Mistral, Qwen, Gemma and more.

Should all chat interfaces have this? Just like ingredients have to be shown on products you buy, we need more transparency in AI for users!
