👉 What happened in AI in 2025? 👈
We prepared the 2025 version of the HF AI Timeline Grid, highlighting open vs API-based model releases, and allowing you to browse and filter by access, modality, and release type!
Play with it here:
2025-ai-timeline/2025-ai-timeline
Here's my personal quarterly TL;DR:
1️⃣ Q1 — Learning to Reason
Deepseek not only releases a top-notch reasoning model, but shows how to train them and compete with closed frontier models. OpenAI debuts Deep Research.
Significant milestones: DeepSeek R1 & R1-Zero, Qwen 2.5 VL, OpenAI Deep Research, Gemini 2.5 Pro (experimental)
2️⃣ Q2 — Multimodality and Coding
More LLMs embrace multimodality by default, and there's a surge in coding agents. Strong vision, audio, and generative models emerge.
Significant milestones: Llama 4, Qwen 3, Imagen 4, OpenAI Codex, Google Jules, Claude 4
3️⃣ Q3 — "Gold" rush, OpenAI opens up, the community goes bananas
Flagship models get gold in Math olympiads and hard benchmarks. OpenAI releases strong open source models and Google releases the much anticipated nano-banana for image generation and editing. Agentic workflows become commonplace.
Significant milestones: Gemini and OpenAI IMO Gold, gpt-oss, Gemini 2.5 Flash Image, Grok 4, Claude Sonnet 4.5
4️⃣ Q4 — Mistral returns, leaderboard hill-climbing
Mistral is back with updated model families. All labs release impressive models to wrap up the year!
Significant milestones: Claude Opus 4.5, DeepSeek Math V2, FLUX 2, GPT 5.1, Kimi K2 Thinking, Nano Banana Pro, GLM 4.7, Gemini 3, Mistral 3, MiniMax M2.1 🤯

Supercharge Apple’s Shortcuts using Cloudflare Workers and Gemini within minutes (and for free, up to 1,500 requests per day) ☁️✨
Hello everyone, last week, while experimenting for fun, I created an API that allows you to easily access AI models (in this case, Google's) from the Shortcut app in order to analyze data from my apps and make the most of it thanks to the generative capabilities of advanced models.
It costs me nothing, and I think it might be good to share it so that others can build on it.
In README.md, you will find everything you need to get started and put your own microservice into production, which you can call from the app’s HTTP request features.
You will simply be asked to have a free Cloudflare account and an API key obtained from Google's AI Studio.
Feel free to take a look and get back to me if you encounter any problems during deployment.
Here is the GitHub repo where you can find all the source code and run it on your own: https://github.com/louisbrulenaudet/genai-api

Although more and more code editors are aligning themselves with the AGENTS.md file standard, some still use specific nomenclatures that can make it difficult to maintain different configuration files when several people are working on the same project with different agents.
Bodyboard addresses this by generating canonical instructions for code helpers from a single AGENTS.md file, thereby streamlining the production of adapter outputs for Gemini CLI, Copilot, Cline, Claude, Rules, Windsurf, and OpenAI Codex integrations.
You just have to:
Then run, at the root of your project:
Link to npm: https://www.npmjs.com/package/bodyboard
Link to the GitHub repo: https://github.com/louisbrulenaudet/bodyboard
It's a very simple project, but it addresses certain issues I've encountered, so why not make it available to everyone...
If you have other ideas for adapters to create, feel free to open a PR on the GitHub repo.

🚀 smolagents v1.21.0 is here!
Now with improved safety in the local Python executor: dunder calls are blocked!
⚠️ Still, not fully isolated: for untrusted code, use a remote executor instead: Docker, E2B, Wasm.
✨ Many bug fixes: more reliable code.
👉 https://github.com/huggingface/smolagents/releases/tag/v1.21.0

🚀 New in smolagents v1.20.0: Remote Python Execution via WebAssembly (Wasm)
We've just merged a major new capability into the smolagents framework: the CodeAgent can now execute Python code remotely in a secure, sandboxed WebAssembly environment!
🔧 Powered by Pyodide and Deno, this new WasmExecutor lets your agent-generated Python code run safely: without relying on Docker or local execution.
Why this matters:
✅ Isolated execution = no host access
✅ No need for Python on the user's machine
✅ Safer evaluation of arbitrary code
✅ Compatible with serverless / edge agent workloads
✅ Ideal for constrained or untrusted environments
This is just the beginning: a focused initial implementation with known limitations. A solid MVP designed for secure, sandboxed use cases. 💡
💡 We're inviting the open-source community to help evolve this executor:
• Tackle more advanced Python features
• Expand compatibility
• Add test coverage
• Shape the next-gen secure agent runtime
🔗 Check out the PR: https://github.com/huggingface/smolagents/pull/1261
Let's reimagine what agent-driven Python execution can look like: remote-first, wasm-secure, and community-built.
This feature is live in smolagents v1.20.0!
Try it out.
Break things. Extend it. Give us feedback.
Let's build safer, smarter agents; together 🧠⚙️

Because hackathons are often the starting point for many AI projects, I've created a Python-backend template incorporating my feedback to streamline collaboration and urgent deployments 🏎️
Within a year, I had the opportunity to participate in hackathons organized by Mistral, OpenAI, and DeepMind and this GitHub template is structured around several fundamental building blocks and recommendations I offer developers eager to participate in their first hackathon, whether as part of a team or individually. Its emphasis is on rapid setup and deployment through:
- uv as a package manager, simplifying usage via a series of pre-configured make commands.
- FastAPI for API management, structured in a modular architecture designed to minimize branch conflicts during merges to main branches (using minimal health-check and ping routes to verify Docker’s proper execution and backend accessibility on the local network).
- Pydantic for validation and type handling, which simplifies debugging and enhances understanding of data objects.
- A set of custom instructions tailored for agents (Cline and GitHub Copilot), aimed at improving overall comprehension of the application and optimizing the vibe-coding experience.
This template includes unit tests with a 100% success rate and test coverage, as well as a minimal CI file ensuring that the FastAPI application runs correctly. Thus, merging code that breaks the server into production becomes impossible ⛔️
In general, I would reiterate an essential piece of advice: your two main adversaries are branch conflicts—particularly when the same file is modified concurrently within a brief period, especially if your architecture isn’t built for scalability—and deployment issues under urgent circumstances ⏱️

Simply issue these commands and you can ship your code at the speed of light:
