mervenoyann · x · 2026-07-31
A developer from Hugging Face shared advanced tips on training AI agents.
The core insight is that you can train agents by distilling code traces, which works particularly well on isolated tasks like triaging and fixing PRs. To help developers with this, Hugging Face has released a workshop series on YouTube covering the entire pipeline, from Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) to distillation, GRPO reinforcement learning, and environment setup.
