I'm an immigrant living in Paris for the past 4 years. When you're an immigrant living alone, you `` and read a lot, so I decided to write this blog. 6 | 7 | **Few facts:** 8 | - More than half of my life I've been doing [photography](https://www.instagram.com/1855mmcliches/). Less than half of my life I enjoyed cinema. 9 | - I love reading fiction & philosophy. These days I'm reading [Byung Chul Han](https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/970747.Byung_Chul_Han). 10 | - Throughout my life I learnt different sports. Last decade I sticked to strength training, and lately I started running. I also learnt how to surf and snowboard this year. 11 | - In my free time I am writing a book with my friends on [vision language models](https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/vision-language-models/9798341624030/) published by O'Reilly. I have read a ton of O'Reilly books at the beginning of my career and it helped me a lot, so I wanted to do something on my end. 12 | 13 | ## tech work 14 | 15 | I work in Hugging Face open-source team. I have developed features for, documented, yapped about a variety of libraries, primarily in vision & multimodality. Hugging Face is the type of place where what you _do_ matters.

Ever since that post I went to Alpes to celebrate xmas with my mother. I noticed during the entire trip I have spoken French to handle everything and it went smooth. I had an epiphany, I actually have come so far but I have absolutely zero feedback around it. Progress does matter and I have to see it for myself. 4 | 5 | With work I often have the feeling that the whole process never ends. It's a fast-paced field, I will fall behind if I don't ship or learn. Since it feels like sisyphos and the stone, it's pretty similar to what I felt with French too. 6 | I have I decided to take a step back on what I did in 2025 about my work and commit to new goals and build in public, maybe get feedback if my work was of use. 7 | 8 | I committed this year to lower the barrier of entry for developers to build with open-source vision and multimodal models. These models are not complex as people think they are, but I noticed that people hesitate a little. To do this, I have built smol-vision and it was loved a ton by community! 9 | 10 | smol-vision 11 | 12 | 13 | In Hugging Face we have a culture of filling-in to where needed. At the beginning of the year there was a hype around using vision language models for agency. I have integrated vision capabilities to smolagents, we planned everything on how memory should work, how use cases like agentic browsers need to be written etc, it was super fun. Read more about it [here](https://huggingface.co/blog/smolagents-can-see). Similarly, I worked with TRL team to have more alignment methods for vision LMs ([read more](https://huggingface.co/blog/trl-vlm-alignment)). 14 | 15 | We have written two major blogs around vision LMs this year, you might want to check them out. Last year we were trying to enable vision LM training in TRL, and to launch this, we have written a [blog](https://huggingface.co/blog/vlms) on vision LMs and how they work. This year we have written a follow up [blog](https://huggingface.co/blog/vlms-2025) on the paradigm changes (spoiler: it's a lot!). This year it was raining OCR models, and we were constantly receiving the question "which one is the best?" so we have written [a long post](https://huggingface.co/blog/ocr-open-models) on OCR landscape to help people get started easier. 16 | 17 | I have written a book about vision language models with my friends in SmolVLM 📖 18 | 19 |
20 | book 21 | paper 22 |
23 | 24 | 25 | This was a huge commitment. I got many questions from people whether it's worth writing a book or not. To be honest it takes almost all your weekends. This was something I wanted to do once in a lifetime. I learnt a lot from O'Reilly books when I was a junior data scientist, I even wrote [a blog](https://merveenoyan.medium.com/my-reviews-on-machine-learning-data-science-and-statistics-books-d1d70924b3d) on my honest take on those books. I wanted to give back in a way. 26 | 27 | I have also worked on big model releases ([PaliGemma2](https://huggingface.co/blog/paligemma2mix), [Gemma-3/n](https://huggingface.co/merve/smol-vision/blob/main/Gemma3n_Fine_tuning_on_All_Modalities.ipynb), DINOv3 and more!), making fine-tuning scripts, helping out with transformers etc for cutting edge models. Getting my hands on shiny models is actually favorite part of my work, quite a gift. 28 | 29 | 30 | I have done many other things on top of my responsibilities, but these ones were the largest changes I was proud of to lower barrier of entry to vision and multimodality. 31 | 32 | This year **I commit to working on** distilling vision language models for vision tasks, more on-device/real-time vision and agentic multimodality, and continue making open vision more available to developers. I will make another blog next year to look back on this next year, I'm very excited. 33 | 34 | On top of this, I firmly believe in ever growing potential of Hugging Face Hub so I want to find ways to make Hub more adopted across modalities.

I recently [read](https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/970747.Byung_Chul_Han) that we are living in a positivity & transparency society, this often reinforces everyone to share their successes and good times. You compare yourself to others' good sides and feel inadequate, work more, consume more to feel better, which the system wants you to do. Positivity isn't inherently bad, but toxic positivity is, where you avoid negativity. 6 | 7 | **Few facts to digest:** 8 | - Happiness is not something completely individual, whatever I experienced you probably did as well because the mood is macro, it's societal. 9 | - People across countries used to define themselves as "quite happy". [source](https://oskarwolthoorn.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Demographics-and-hapiness-in-the-world.pdf) This is no longer the case for the people today. 10 | - We are bombarded with ideal humans online, but they are mostly performative. Modern humans in general avoid themselves, because they're less happy and content, constantly feel "behind". My generation is even less capable of sitting with discomfort because we ignore negative part of the life (toxic positivity). 11 | - The system constantly asks to focus on positives, pushes "art of not giving a fuck", "you can do this" type of mindset, with a ton of positive psychology books and through media. Modern humans in general avoid themselves, because they're less happy and content, believing everyone but them realize their potential, so they constantly feel "behind". The system shifts the blame: _So if you fail, it's completely your fault._ ignoring the class issues. We eat this up, treat our lives as projects and constantly try to improve some metrics, ignore our conditions. I believe in growth, but this is not it. 12 | - As humans, we are all escaping from sitting with ourselves. All the fidgeting, stress eating, excessive sports, overworking, most of them helps get rid of the thoughts. It could also be that you internally think you will be loved more (or receive more attention or approval). Very rarely people are genuinely curious with no expectations of gratification. 13 | 14 | ## how it all materializes 15 | 16 | For the last seven years I have been trying to digest positive psychology, it worked well when I had a ton of energy and living with my family and friends (the first 2-3 years). I worked hard, did a master's at the same time, I was more in flow. 17 | 18 | Last four years (after immigration) living alone, I was thinking a lot (living alone does that, it's statistically proven). I was constantly telling myself I should be grateful that I have the perfect life, I'm surrounded by kindest people I can learn from, I have always dreamt of living abroad since childhood. In fact, it takes a long time to make a place home, in the meantime, it's normal to feel alone even if you're surrounded by people. This made me feel form of an emptiness, I couldn't sit with it. 19 | 20 | Last two years, living alone, I wanted to make sure to take good care of myself and achieve my goals. I had a bunch of habits to keep myself on track while living alone. I ate same thing every day, have taken French classes, did sports 4x a week, batch meal prep, full-time work, keeping track of macros, supplements, write [book](https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/vision-language-models/9798341624030/) on weekends, socialize and more. 21 | 22 | This year, on top of them, I went for a functional medicine doctor, who prescribes an [elimination diet](https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/elimination-diet) and supplements, this was the last straw for burnout. I was too stressed, too controlling over my life, I have broken down mentally. It's insanely counterproductive to do anything for your wellbeing if it increases the stress as it's the #1 detriment to your health. I burnt out, and all the realizations came after that. I also noticed I have social anxiety over French language. 23 | 24 | ## truly transparent recap 25 | 26 | **all the things I succeeded in:** 27 | 28 | - I learnt snowboarding and surfing, I started doing it to overcome my mental barriers (you fall a lot, and confidence comes when you sail smoothly). 29 | - I had a big bump in French (A2 → B1). 30 | - I started running, prepared for a 10K for 7 weeks and finished it in 1h 15m (which was shorter than anticipated). 31 | - I got rid of some of my health issues through eating well & working out. I went through a lot 10 years ago, had few issues left. It's still not perfect but hey. 32 | - Wrote a book. Overall I love working on multimodality so I learnt a ton. 33 | - I worked on many things at my job that I enjoyed and ended up impactful, which is rare. 34 | - Reduced my screen time. I don't like scrolling on social media in general and short form content anyhow, I find it very detrimental to dopamine mechanism. 35 | - I got back to reading books. It's very good to reverse brainrot if you have one. 36 | - Realized a ton of things (see below). 37 | 38 | **things I failed at:** 39 | 40 | - I was burnt out (wrote above). 41 | - I failed the diet after a month and a half, couldn't finish the procedure. 42 | - I have stopped my French classes and tracking my food/activity, to focus on the book until it's done, so my French might have regressed. 43 | - I am actually still tired as I have to keep writing the book over weekends (at least it is 99% done as of Dec 25). 44 | 45 | Some of the things I learned from the experience: 46 | 47 | - **Most important:** home is where you can completely be yourself. You unconsciously filter yourself in other places. People say "life starts outside of your comfort zone", I think once you have satisfied your needs, which includes having connections, you can flow, lock-in, thrive. Having an emotional support system where you can make a living is priceless. It takes time to build home somewhere else. 48 | - Most of the voices critical of you in your head are other people you internalized over time. You just need to notice this and get help. Trust in your potential and don't let the inner critics get ahead of you. 49 | - Also related to above, your perception of life determines your experience as well, because whatever information you receive, you frame it. Assume good intentions, if it's bad, it's on them. 50 | - You have an inner child (id) that lets you enjoy life, and an old person (superego) that keeps your life on track. You need to find balance between them to have a sustainable wellbeing. Being on top of your life is not a default, you should congratulate yourself. 51 | - If you are an immigrant living alone, you have to cheer for yourself and treat yourself kindly. (I think this applies to everyone though) 52 | - Your experience is universal, whatever you go through, others do too. There's no such thing as perfect life. Due to positivity & transparency culture people show the best parts but you eventually learn it's not the complete picture. Many people feel inadequate or "behind", which many previous generations haven't felt, so chances are when you speak to your family they won't get it, because you have a job, you have a roof over your head, it's more than enough (it actually is!). 53 | - Personal development books always tell you you can do xyz, and happiness is individual. You can do xyz but should you? I completely quit them, it's a whole industry. I just read philosophy and psychology now, which I find more genuine with no ulterior motives. 54 | - You need 7-8 hours of sleep, eat healthy, be physically active. There's no "hack", taking supplements without supervision will mess your system (human body is more complex than you think it is), if you take too much caffeine you will mess your dopamine system, none of these are sustainable, it's not worth messing your health and trying to fix it. 55 | - **Progress counts.** I learnt this while trying to learn French for my citizenship process. I have been taking classes for the last two years, especially with all the responsibility I have, it's immensely tiring to do context switching. I need to attend the exam in a year, but it feels like I've been learning the language, it's very slow, ungrateful process, I keep forgetting things. I can hold a conversation, my colleagues appreciated me many times, but due to how sluggish the process was, I felt very tired. I am sometimes rejected or people switch to English, I feel disappointed. I overlooked over the process itself. It actually counts, but it's hard to take a step back and see how far you've come when you are so intertwined in the process. 56 | 57 | Overall I've grown to be kinder to myself and others and noticed what was wrong with my life and mindset, which matter the most. Sometimes when we constantly move to make our lives _put together_ we don't question our patterns, our counterintuitive habits. We need to stop and do introspection. 58 | 59 | I wrote this blog hoping you can find a piece for yourself in case you think similarly. Remembering that our experience is universal helps a lot. On the next post I will talk about some habits that actually worked for me, and again with complete transparency, because I don't want to paint an ideal picture. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /LICENSE: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | Apache License 2 | Version 2.0, January 2004 3 | http://www.apache.org/licenses/ 4 | 5 | TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR USE, REPRODUCTION, AND DISTRIBUTION 6 | 7 | 1.
