We release two sizes of models (2 billion and 7 billion parameters), and provide both pretrained and fine-tuned checkpoints. Gemma2 outperforms similarly sized open models on 11 out of 18 text-based tasks, and we present comprehensive evaluations of safety and responsibility aspects of the models, alongside a detailed description of our model development. We believe the responsible release of LLMs is critical for improving the safety of frontier models, and for enabling the next wave of LLM innovations</em></p> <p><img src="https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/assets/30755778/798b25f4-485a-4b60-abe5-af612def209b" alt="image" /></p> <ul> <li>Add gemma 2 by <a href="https://github.com/ArthurZucker"><code>@ArthurZucker</code></a> in <a href="https://redirect.github.com/huggingface/transformers/issues/31659">#31659</a></li> </ul> <h3>RTDETR</h3> <!-- raw HTML omitted --> </blockquote> <p>...

Semantic Kernel
Status
Overview
Semantic Kernel is an SDK that integrates Large Language Models (LLMs) like OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, and Hugging Face with conventional programming languages like C#, Python, and Java. Semantic Kernel achieves this by allowing you to define plugins that can be chained together in just a few lines of code.
What makes Semantic Kernel special, however, is its ability to automatically orchestrate plugins with AI. With Semantic Kernel planners, you can ask an LLM to generate a plan that achieves a user's unique goal. Afterwards, Semantic Kernel will execute the plan for the user.
Please star the repo to show your support for this project!
Getting started with Semantic Kernel
The Semantic Kernel SDK is available in C#, Python, and Java. To get started, choose your preferred language below. See the Feature Matrix to see a breakdown of feature parity between our currently supported languages.

|
|
The quickest way to get started with the basics is to get an API key from either OpenAI or Azure OpenAI and to run one of the C#, Python, and Java console applications/scripts below.
For C#:
- Create a new console app.
- Add the semantic kernel nuget Microsoft.SemanticKernel.
- Copy the code from here into the app
Program.csfile. - Replace the configuration placeholders for API key and other params with your key and settings.
- Run with
F5ordotnet run
For Python:
- Install the pip package:
python -m pip install semantic-kernel. - Create a new script e.g.
hello-world.py. - Store your API key and settings in an
.envfile as described here. - Copy the code from here into the
hello-world.pyscript. - Run the python script.
For Java:
- Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/microsoft/semantic-kernel.git- To access the latest Java code, clone and checkout the Java development branch:
git clone -b java-development https://github.com/microsoft/semantic-kernel.git
- To access the latest Java code, clone and checkout the Java development branch:

Learning how to use Semantic Kernel
The fastest way to learn how to use Semantic Kernel is with our C# and Python Jupyter notebooks. These notebooks demonstrate how to use Semantic Kernel with code snippets that you can run with a push of a button.
Once you've finished the getting started notebooks, you can then check out the main walkthroughs on our Learn site. Each sample comes with a completed C# and Python project that you can run locally.
