Quite excited by the ModernBERT release! 0.15/0.4B small, 2T modern pre-training data and tokenizer with code, 8k context window, great efficient model for embeddings & classification!

This will probably be the basis for many future SOTA encoders! And I can finally stop using DeBERTav3 from 2021 :D

Congrats @answerdotai , @LightOnIO and collaborators like @tomaarsen !

After 6 years, BERT, the workhorse of encoder models, finally gets a replacement: 𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗕𝗘𝗥𝗧! 🤗

We talk a lot about ✨Generative AI✨, meaning "Decoder version of the Transformers architecture", but this is only one of the ways to build LLMs: encoder models, that turn a sentence in a vector, are maybe even more widely used in industry than generative models.

The workhorse for this category has been BERT since its release in 2018 (that's prehistory for LLMs).

It's not a fancy 100B parameters supermodel (just a few hundred millions), but it's an excellent workhorse, kind of a Honda Civic for LLMs.

Many applications use BERT-family models - the top models in this category cumulate millions of downloads on the Hub.

➡️ Now a collaboration between Answer.AI and LightOn just introduced BERT's replacement: ModernBERT.

𝗧𝗟;𝗗𝗥:
🏛️ Architecture changes:
⇒ First, standard modernizations:
- Rotary positional embeddings (RoPE)
- Replace GeLU with GeGLU,
- Use Flash Attention 2
✨ The team also introduced innovative techniques like alternating attention instead of full attention, and sequence packing to get rid of padding overhead.

🥇 As a result, the model tops the game of encoder models:
It beats previous standard DeBERTaV3 for 1/5th the memory footprint, and runs 4x faster!

𝐇𝐮𝐠𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐏𝐢𝐜𝐨𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐧, 𝐚 𝐦𝐢𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐜 𝐥𝐢𝐛 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐋𝐋𝐌 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝟒𝐃 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 🥳

🕰️ Llama-3.1-405B took 39 million GPU-hours to train, i.e. about 4.5 thousand years.

👴🏻 If they had needed all this time, we would have GPU stories from the time of Pharaoh 𓂀: "Alas, Lord of Two Lands, the shipment of counting-stones arriving from Cathay was lost to pirates, this shall delay the building of your computing temple by many moons "

🛠️ But instead, they just parallelized the training on 24k H100s, which made it take just a few months.
This required parallelizing across 4 dimensions: data, tensor, context, pipeline.
And it is infamously hard to do, making for bloated code repos that hold together only by magic.

🤏 𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘄𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗵𝘂𝗴𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗼𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝘆𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲! Instead of building mega-training codes, Hugging Face colleagues cooked in the other direction, towards tiny 4D parallelism libs. A team has built Nanotron, already widely used in industry.
And now a team releases Picotron, a radical approach to code 4D Parallelism in just a few hundred lines of code, a real engineering prowess, making it much easier to understand what's actually happening!

⚡ 𝗜𝘁'𝘀 𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘆, 𝘆𝗲𝘁 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗳𝘂𝗹:
Counting in MFU (Model FLOPs Utilization, how much the model actually uses all the compute potential), this lib reaches ~50% on SmolLM-1.7B model with 8 H100 GPUs, which is really close to what huge libs would reach. (Caution: the team is leading further benchmarks to verify this)

Doing some testing with HunyuanVideo on the Hugging Face Inference Endpoints 🤗

prompt: "a Shiba Inu is acting as a DJ, he wears sunglasses and is mixing and scratching with vinyl discs at a Ibiza sunny sand beach party"

1280x720, 22 steps, 121 frames

There are still some things to iron out regarding speed and memory usage, right now it takes 20min on an A100 (see attached charts)

but you can check it out here:

https://huggingface.co/jbilcke-hf/HunyuanVideo-for-InferenceEndpoints

There are various things I want to try like the 100% diffusers version and other models (LTX-Video..)

Apollo is a new family of open-source video language models by Meta, where 3B model outperforms most 7B models and 7B outperforms most 30B models 🧶

✨ the models come in 1.5B https://huggingface.co/Apollo-LMMs/Apollo-1_5B-t32, 3B https://huggingface.co/Apollo-LMMs/Apollo-3B-t32 and 7B https://huggingface.co/Apollo-LMMs/Apollo-7B-t32 with A2.0 license, based on Qwen1.5 & Qwen2
✨ the authors also release a benchmark dataset https://huggingface.co/spaces/Apollo-LMMs/ApolloBench

The paper has a lot of experiments (they trained 84 models!) about what makes the video LMs work ⏯️

Try the demo for best setup here https://huggingface.co/spaces/Apollo-LMMs/Apollo-3B
they evaluate sampling strategies, scaling laws for models and datasets, video representation and more!
> The authors find out that whatever design decision was applied to small models also scale properly when the model and dataset are scaled 📈 scaling dataset has diminishing returns for smaller models
> They evaluate frame sampling strategies, and find that FPS sampling is better than uniform sampling, and they find 8-32 tokens per frame optimal
> They also compare image encoders, they try a variation of models from shape optimized SigLIP to DINOv2
they find google/siglip-so400m-patch14-384 to be most powerful 🔥
> they also compare freezing different parts of models, training all stages with some frozen parts give the best yield

They eventually release three models, where Apollo-3B outperforms most 7B models and Apollo 7B outperforms 30B models 🔥

We outperform Llama 70B with Llama 3B on hard math by scaling test-time compute 🔥

How? By combining step-wise reward models with tree search algorithms :)

We show that smol models can match or exceed the performance of their much larger siblings when given enough "time to think"

We're open sourcing the full recipe and sharing a detailed blog post.

In our blog post we cover:

📈 Compute-optimal scaling: How we implemented DeepMind's recipe to boost the mathematical capabilities of open models at test-time.

🎄 Diverse Verifier Tree Search (DVTS): An unpublished extension we developed to the verifier-guided tree search technique. This simple yet effective method improves diversity and delivers better performance, particularly at large test-time compute budgets.

🧭 Search and Learn: A lightweight toolkit for implementing search strategies with LLMs and built for speed with vLLM

Here's the links:

- Blog post: HuggingFaceH4/blogpost-scaling-test-time-compute

- Code: https://github.com/huggingface/search-and-learn

Enjoy!

𝗣𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗴𝗺 𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗳𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗟𝗟𝗠𝘀: 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗽𝗮𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗯𝘆 𝗠𝗲𝘁𝗮 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗺𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗿𝗶𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗼𝗸𝗲𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗿𝘀! 🥳

Current LLMs process text by first splitting it into tokens. They use a module named "tokenizer", that -spl-it-s- th-e- te-xt- in-to- arbitrary tokens depending on a fixed dictionnary.
On the Hub you can find this dictionary in a model's files under tokenizer.json.

➡️ This process is called BPE tokenization. It is suboptimal, everyone says it. It breaks text into predefined chunks that often fail to capture the nuance of language. But it has been a necessary evil in language models since their inception.

💥 In Byte Latent Transformer (BLT), Meta researchers propose an elegant solution by eliminating tokenization entirely, working directly with raw bytes while maintaining efficiency through dynamic "patches."

This had been tried before with different byte-level tokenizations, but it's the first time that an architecture of this type scales as well as BPE tokenization. And it could mean a real paradigm shift! 👏👏

🏗️ 𝗔𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲:
Instead of a lightweight tokenizer, BLT has a lightweight encoder that process raw bytes into patches. Then the patches are processed by the main heavy-duty transformers as we do normally (but for patches of bytes instead of tokens), before converting back to bytes.

🧩 𝗗𝘆𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴:
Instead of fixed tokens, BLT groups bytes based on their predictability (measured by entropy) - using more compute for complex sequences and efficiently handling simple ones. This allows efficient processing while maintaining byte-level understanding.

I hope this breakthrough is confirmed and we can get rid of all the tokenizer stuff, it will make model handling easier!

🇪🇺 Policy Thoughts in the EU AI Act Implementation 🇪🇺

There is a lot to like in the first draft of the EU GPAI Code of Practice, especially as regards transparency requirements. The Systemic Risks part, on the other hand, is concerning for both smaller developers and for external stakeholders.

I wrote more on this topic ahead of the next draft. TLDR: more attention to immediate large-scale risks and to collaborative solutions supported by evidence can help everyone - as long as developers disclose sufficient information about their design choices and deployment contexts.

Full blog here, based on our submitted response with @frimelle and @brunatrevelin :

I've been building a small library for working with prompt templates on the HF hub: pip install prompt-templates. Motivation:

The community currently shares prompt templates in a wide variety of formats: in datasets, in model cards, as strings in .py files, as .txt/.yaml/.json/.jinja2 files etc. This makes sharing and working with prompt templates unnecessarily complicated.

Prompt templates are currently the main hyperparameter that people tune when building complex LLM systems or agents. If we don't have a common standard for sharing them, we cannot systematically test and improve our systems. After comparing different community approaches, I think that working with modular .yaml or .json files is the best approach.

The prompt-templates library :
- proposes a standard for sharing prompts (entirely locally or on the HF hub)
- provides some utilities that are interoperable with the broader ecosystem

Try it: 
# !pip install prompt-templates
from prompt_templates import PromptTemplateLoader 
prompt_template = PromptTemplateLoader.from_hub(repo_id="MoritzLaurer/closed_system_prompts", filename="claude-3-5-artifacts-leak-210624.yaml")


The library is in early stages, feedback is welcome!

Performance leap: TGI v3 is out. Processes 3x more tokens, 13x faster than vLLM on long prompts. Zero config !



3x more tokens.

By reducing our memory footprint, we’re able to ingest many more tokens and more dynamically than before. A single L4 (24GB) can handle 30k tokens on llama 3.1-8B, while vLLM gets barely 10k. A lot of work went into reducing the footprint of the runtime and its effect are best seen on smaller constrained environments.
13x faster

On long prompts (200k+ tokens) conversation replies take 27.5s in vLLM, while it takes only 2s in TGI. How so ? We keep the initial conversation around, so when a new reply comes in, we can answer almost instantly. The overhead of the lookup is ~5us. Thanks @Dani ël de Kok for the beast data structure.
Zero config

That’s it. Remove all the flags your are using and you’re likely to get the best performance. By evaluating the hardware and model, TGI carefully selects automatic values to give best performance. In production, we don’t have any flags anymore in our deployments. We kept all existing flags around, they may come in handy in niche scenarios.
