AI startup Hugging Face and ServiceNow Research, ServiceNow’s R&D division, have released StarCoder, a free alternative to code-generating AI systems along the lines of GitHub’s Copilot.

Researchers have discovered about 100 machine learning (ML) models that have been uploaded to the Hugging Face artificial intelligence (AI) platform and potentially enable attackers to inject ...

China’s open source AI models have been making the news lately for their strong performance on various AI tasks such as coding and “reasoning.” However, they have also attracted criticism — including ...

At least 100 instances of malicious AI ML models were found on the Hugging Face platform, some of which can execute code on the victim's machine, giving attackers a persistent backdoor. Hugging Face ...

Attackers are finding more and more ways to post malicious projects to Hugging Face and other repositories for open source artificial intelligence (AI) models, while dodging the sites' security checks ...

There are numerous ways to run large language models such as DeepSeek, Claude or Meta's Llama locally on your laptop, including Ollama and Modular's Max platform. But if you want to fully control the ...

In a new case study, Hugging Face researchers have demonstrated how small language models (SLMs) can be configured to outperform much larger models. Their findings show that a Llama 3 model with 3B ...
