Just open sourced LavaSR v2: a model that can enhance 5000 seconds of audio in 1 second while being higher quality than giant and slow 6gb diffusion models!

It works with any sampling rate from 8-48khz and is nearly 5000x faster than competition while being superior in objective benchmarks.

LavaSR v2 is Perfect for
- Enhancing TTS models.
- Fixing old audio datasets.
- Restoring low quality recordings.

You can check out the examples and run it locally or online:

I just released NovaSR, a tiny 52kb audio upsampler that can enhance 3600 seconds of muffled 16khz audio in to clearer 48khz audio in just 1 second!

NovaSR can
- Enhance TTS model quality.
- Restore poor quality datasets.
- Work on any device(just 52kb which is smaller than a 3 second audio file!)

👉 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 🤯

🙌 @ariG23498 and yours truly for compiling and verifying the 2025 edition

🥳 Here's to 2026, wishing it becomes the best year ever for open releases and on-device-first use-cases! 🥂

I just released LayaCodec, a highly efficient neural audio tokenizer/codec for TTS models, far better than most previous audio tokenizers.

🤯 Next-gen TTS models that use this could achieve several 100s of times real-time speed while producing clearer audio!! 🤯

Excited to share that I've joined the Hugging Face Fellows program! 🤗

Looking forward to contributing to & working more closely with the open-source ecosystem - huge thanks to everyone who's supported me on this journey! 🚀
