I drove the Volvo EX40 for a week — here’s my pros and cons

Just last fall, I tested Volvo’s first ever all-electric vehicle: the 2024 Volvo XC40 Recharge. For 2025, it’s been replaced by the EX40, namely to unify the nomenclature of its EVs — which actually sits in between the EX30 and EX90. The base trim, a single motor extended range ‘Core’ model, has an EPA estimated range of 296 miles and starts at $53,975. I drove the 2025 Volvo EX40 Twin Moto Ultra for a week, which has a stronger 402 hp performance, range of 260 miles, and a $62,045 starting cost. I know it’s pricey, but given Volvo’s reputation for

Using Machine Learning to Improve Language Metadata on the Hugging Face Hub

tl;dr: We’re using machine learning to detect the language of Hub datasets with no language metadata, and librarian-bots to make pull requests to add this metadata. The Hugging Face Hub has become the repository where the community shares machine learning models, datasets, and applications. As the number of datasets grows, metadata becomes increasingly important as a tool for finding the right resource for your use case. In this blog post, I’m excited to share some early experiments which seek to use machine learning to improve the metadata for datasets hosted on the Hugging Face Hub.
