🌧️❄️ Free demo: remove rain, raindrops, or snow from a photo with a single model

I put together an unofficial demo for **Histoformer** (ECCV 2024, arXiv: 2407.10172), a 16.6M-parameter transformer that handles three different weather degradations, rain streaks, adherent raindrops, and snow, in one unified model. It uses a "histogram self-attention" mechanism that groups pixels by degradation intensity instead of spatial position, which is a
neat way to sidestep the usual spatial-window tradeoffs in restoration transformers.

Try it here, free on ZeroGPU: dronefreak/histoformer-weather-restoration

Upload a photo and get a before/after slider. Two checkpoints available: one tuned for real-world photos, one for the paper's synthetic benchmarks.

Also put together a cleaner, easy-to-use model card with a copy-pasteable Quickstart if you'd rather run it yourself: dronefreak/Histoformer

This is an unofficial demo/mirror, not affiliated with the original authors. All credit for the actual research goes to Shangquan Sun, Wenqi Ren, Xinwei Gao, Rui Wang, and Xiaochun Cao (@sunsean ). Official repo: https://github.com/sunshangquan/Histoformer. Weights are MIT-licensed.

Reported numbers from the paper: 32.1 PSNR on rain+fog (Outdoor-Rain), 33.1 on raindrops, 37.4 / 32.2 on light/heavy snow (Snow100K-S/L).

🚀 Excited to open-source the SeaDronesSee Object Detection Model Zoo on Hugging Face.

This release includes:

- 🤖 YOLOv8, YOLOv11, YOLOv26 and RF-DETR object detection models trained on SeaDronesSee, spanning nano through x-large YOLO variants plus RF-DETR Nano/Small/Medium.
- 🌊 Benchmarked on SeaDronesSee's maritime search-and-rescue setting — swimmers, boats, jet skis, life-saving appliances and buoys captured by UAVs over open water, at varying altitudes and non-uniform image resolutions (1080p up to 4K+).
- 📊 Detailed model cards with mAP/precision/recall, per-class breakdowns, PR/F1 curves and confusion matrices (YOLO), qualitative detection showcases, and full training configurations for reproducibility.

Headline numbers:
- 🏆 Best mAP@50: 83.47% (RF-DETR Medium), 47.49% mAP@50:95, 87.01% precision.
- ⚡ Best efficiency tradeoff: YOLOv26s hits 80.14% mAP@50 at just 22.8 GFLOPs (10.0M params) — within ~3 points of the top RF-DETR variant, while actually beating YOLOv11x's 74.82% mAP@50 using ~8.6x fewer FLOPs (196.0 GFLOPs).

The goal is to make benchmarking and experimenting with maritime UAV perception easier by providing ready-to-use pretrained checkpoints, all trained and evaluated under one shared pipeline (DetectionBench: https://github.com/dronefreak/DetectionBench).

Full credit for the underlying dataset goes to Leon Amadeus Varga, Benjamin Kiefer, Martin Messmer, and Andreas Zell (University of Tübingen, WACV 2022) — this release is an unofficial, YOLO-ready reformatting of their work (CC0-licensed), not a new dataset.

If you're working on maritime search-and-rescue, UAV perception, autonomous drones, or real-time object detection, I hope these resources are useful.

Title: 🧬 Experimenting with "Dynamic Chaos" in Tamil SLMs

Hi everyone! I just published a new experimental study on Small Language Model (SLM) resilience.

I took the Qwen2.5-0.5B model and put it through a "Chaos Phase" to see how much weight data a tiny model can lose before its understanding of classical Tamil grammar breaks.

Key highlights of the study:

Target Data: Fine-tuned on the Thirukkural (1,330 couplets + modern explanations).
The Chaos Step: Applied 20% random weight pruning but implemented "Layer Protection" for the Token Embeddings and LM Head to keep the characters readable.
Compression: 4-bit (Q4_K_M) quantization for extreme efficiency.
Result: A surrealist classical Tamil model that is ultra-light (~300MB) and ultra-fast!

Check out the model and the experiment logic here: Sri-Vigneshwar-DJ/qwen-tamil-chaos-v1

Performance Marketing meets "Thinking Mode" 🧠

I’m excited to release hawky-ai-Qwen3-0.6B-Marketing-MoT, a specialized SLM designed for deep strategic reasoning in performance marketing.

While small at 0.6B parameters, this model punches way above its weight class by utilizing a Mixture of Thoughts (MoT) framework. It doesn't just give you an answer; it thinks through the logic of Meta Ads scaling, GA4 attribution, and unit economics before providing a strategic recommendation.

Key Features:

Thinking-First: Trained on 1,500+ critical thinking scenarios.
MoT Framework: 5 distinct reasoning styles (Linear, Exploratory, Critical, Deconstructive, Analogical).
SLM Speed: Perfect for low-latency, high-precision marketing audits.

Introducing Hawky-AI H1 4B PM: The First Open-Source LLM for Performance Marketing 🎯

Hey HF Community! 👋

Just released the first LLM fine-tuned specifically for Performance Marketing.
What is it?
Gemma 3 4B distilled from Claude Opus 4.5 with expert-level marketing knowledge.
Covers:
📱 Meta Ads (campaign structure, bidding, scaling, creative fatigue)
🔍 Google Ads (Quality Score, Performance Max, lead gen)
📊 Measurement (ROAS vs MER, incrementality, LTV:CAC)
🎨 Creative Strategy (hook rates, A/B testing, funnel creative)
Why we built it:
Generic LLMs say "optimize your targeting" — not helpful. This model gives specific frameworks like "frequency at 4.5 + CTR drop = creative fatigue, here's the fix..."
Technical:

Base: Gemma 3 4B
Method: QLoRA (r=64)
Teacher: Claude Opus 4.5

🔗 Model: Sri-Vigneshwar-DJ/hawky-ai-H1-4b-PM
Built by Hawky.ai

🦅 Introducing Hawky AI H1 Mini 4B: A Domain-Specific Model for Performance Marketing

Hey HuggingFace community! 👋

We're excited to share our first open-source release: **Hawky AI H1 Mini 4B Experimental** - a Gemma 3 4B model fine-tuned specifically for Meta advertising and performance marketing strategy.

🎯 Why We Built This

At [Hawky.ai](https://hawky.ai), we build AI-powered creative intelligence tools for performance marketers. We work with major agencies (WPP, Madison, GroupM) and brands (TVS Motors, Tanishq, Bajaj Finserv) on campaign optimization.

We wanted to explore: Can a small, domain-specific model provide expert-level guidance on performance marketing?

Specifically, we focused on Meta's Andromeda algorithm - the AI system that now powers ad delivery across Facebook and Instagram. Understanding Andromeda is crucial for modern media buying, but the knowledge is scattered and constantly evolving.

🧠 What Makes This Different

Chain-of-Thought Reasoning
The model doesn't just answer - it **thinks through problems** step-by-step:

Domain-specific reasoning is crucial when working with big-budget campaigns on Meta. That's why we've launched an experimental Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning model for critical thinking, tailored to Meta's Andromeda algorithm-based campaign structuring and optimization.

The recent update to Meta's ad algorithm is very difficult to crack, and even the latest models struggle to keep up with it. To address this, we've created a small experimental dataset for fine-tuning models to better tackle Meta's Andromeda algorithm: Sri-Vigneshwar-DJ/hawky-ai-andromeda-dataset

this is big... 50 AI researchers from Bytedance, Alibaba, Tencent, and other labs/universities just published a 300-page paper with surprising lessons about coding models and agents (data, pre and post-training, etc).

key highlights:

> small LLMs can beat proprietary giants
RL (RLVR specifically) gives small open-source models an edge over big models in reasoning. a 14B model trained with RLVR on high-quality verified problems can match the performance of OpenAI's o3.

> models have a hard time learning Python.
mixing language models during pre-training is good, but Python behaves different from statically typed languages. languages with similar syntax (Java and C#, or JavaScript and TypeScript) creates high positive synergy. mixing Python heavily into the training of statically typed languages can actually hurt because of Python's dynamic typing.

> not all languages are equal (coding scaling laws)
the amount of data required to specialize a model on a language drastically depends on the language. paper argues like C# and Java are easier to learn (less training data required). languages like Python and Javascript are actually more tricky to learn, ironically (you see AI most used for these languages :)

> MoE vs Dense (ability vs stability)
MoE models offer higher capacity, but are much more fragile during SFT than dense models. hyperparams in training have a more drastic effect in MoE models, while dense models are more stable. MoE models also require constant learning rate schedules to avoid routing instability.

> code models are "insecure" by default (duh)
training on public repos makes models learn years of accumulated insecure coding patterns. safety fine-tuning often fails to work much on code. a model might refuse to write a hate speech email but will happily generate a SQL-injection vulnerable function because it "works."
