Hugging Face compares all LoRA alternatives: who wins at fine-tuning LLMs
The Hugging Face team tested five PEFT methods for fine-tuning LLMs — from DoRA to GaLore — and found out when LoRA can be beaten, and exactly what it costs.

ServiceNow: AI agent leaks corporate secrets through a chain of search queries
ServiceNow researchers have shown that a deep-research agent unintentionally exposes corporate secrets — each query is harmless on its own, but the whole chain forms a mosaic.

PaddleOCR releases PP-OCRv6: text recognition in 50 languages from 1.5 to 34.5 million parameters
PP-OCRv6 from Baidu PaddlePaddle: a universal OCR system for 50 languages in three configurations ranging from 1.5 to 34.5 million parameters, with an accuracy gain of +4.6-5.1 percentage points over the previous server

Hybrid models predict content words better than transformers — Allen AI study
Allen AI compared the OLMo 3 and OLMo Hybrid architectures: hybrid models predict nouns, verbs, and adjectives more accurately, but lag behind transformers on repetitive text spans.

Hugging Face: launch a vLLM server on HF Jobs with a single command
Hugging Face has added vLLM support to the HF Jobs platform: a production-ready inference server for any model from the Hub can now be deployed with a single CLI command.
