Coqui, a prominent open source text-to-speech project from the Mozilla ML group, officially shut down. Discussions in the HuggingFace Discord highlighted skepticism about the claimed
3X faster speed of sdxl, attributing improvements more to techniques like torch.compile and removal of fp16 and attention rather than diffusers 0.25 features. Users confirmed that a HuggingFace user token can be used across multiple machines, though distinct tokens are recommended for safety. The Learning Loss Minimization (LLM) Leaderboard briefly experienced issues but was later confirmed operational. A Kaggle notebook was shared demonstrating how to build Transformer architectures from scratch using PyTorch. Additionally, a new image dataset with 15k shoe, sandal, and boot images was introduced for multiclass classification tasks. Explanations about the workings of the Common Crawl web-crawling process were also shared.
