huggingchat/chat-ui · NEW BETTER OPEN-SOURCE MODELS 2025

Dear Hugging Face Team,

First of all, thank you for building and continuously improving HuggingChat — it's an excellent platform that provides an accessible and user-friendly interface to powerful AI models. Your efforts have truly made Hugging Face a go-to destination for developers, researchers, and AI enthusiasts around the world.

As a regular user and fan of HuggingChat, I’d like to propose an enhancement that could significantly enrich the overall user experience:

Suggestion: Integrate More Up-to-Date Open-Source LLMs into HuggingChat (not just in the Playground)

While HuggingChat currently offers great performance, expanding the selection of available models—especially directly within HuggingChat and not only in the Hugging Playground—would provide users with more flexibility, comparison opportunities, and better alignment with the rapidly evolving open-source LLM landscape.

Recommended Models for Inclusion:
1)DeepSeek-V3
2)LLaMA-4 Maverick 03-26 (Experimental)
3)LLaMA-4 Maverick-17B-128E Instruct
4)LLaMA 4 Scout
and MORE Other top-tier open-source models as of May 2025 (newer versions of Gemma, Falcon, Qwen, Mistral Large, Dolphin etc.) unlike only ONE MODEL IS QUITE GOOD IN HUGGINGCHAT (LLAMA 3.3 - 70B) AND ALL OTHERS ARE OLDER/SLOWER AND OUTDATED(YOU CAN REPLACE THEM WITH NEWER AND HIGHLY CAPABLE, OPEN-SOURCE MODELS)...refer the images in the end.

These models represent the latest advancements in open-source LLMs, and their integration into HuggingChat would enable users to experiment with, compare, and build upon a wider variety of model architectures and training paradigms.

✅ Why This Matters:

Encourages using high performance open-source models instead of paying for the premium
Helps showcase Hugging Face as a leader in open-source AI access
Provides a better and more flexible user experience, by relevant AI responses from the new free competitive LLMs
Supports the budget WebDevs, researchers and developers interested in the cutting edge

Once again, thank you for the amazing tools you’re creating and maintaining. I hope this suggestion adds value to the future roadmap of HuggingChat. Keep up the incredible work! 💙
