We are proud to announce HuggingFaceFW/fineweb-2: A sparkling update to HuggingFaceFW/fineweb with 1000s of 🗣️languages.

We applied the same data-driven approach that led to SOTA English performance in🍷 FineWeb to thousands of languages.

🥂 FineWeb2 has 8TB of compressed text data and outperforms other multilingual datasets in our experiments.

The dataset is released under the permissive 📜 ODC-By 1.0 license, and the 💻 code to reproduce it and our evaluations is public.

We will very soon announce a big community project, and are working on a 📝 blogpost walking you through the entire dataset creation process. Stay tuned!

In the mean time come ask us question on our chat place: HuggingFaceFW/discussion

H/t @guipenedo @hynky @lvwerra as well as @vsabolcec Bettina Messmer @negar-foroutan and @mjaggi

[New crazy blog post alert] We are releasing an extensive blog post on the science of creating high quality web-scale datasets, detailing all the steps and learnings that came in our recent 15 trillion tokens 🍷FineWeb release

Inspired by the distill.pub interactive graphics papers, we settled to write the most extensive, enjoyable and in-depth tech report we could draft on so prepare for a 45-mmin read with interactive graphics and all.

And it's not all, in this article we also introduce 📚FineWeb-Edu a filtered subset of Common Crawl with 1.3T tokens containing only web pages with very high educational content. Up to our knowledge, FineWeb-Edu out-performs all openly release web-scale datasets by a significant margin on knowledge- and reasoning-intensive benchmarks like MMLU, ARC, and OpenBookQA

We also make a number of surprising observations on the "quality" of the internet it-self which may challenge some of the general assumptions on web data (not saying more, I'll let you draw your conclusions ;)

Is is time for the open-source AI robots revolution 🚀?

With @haixuantao and @Leyo we’ve been playing with a low-cost DJI robot controlled by three local open-source AI models (Whisper, Idefics2, Parler-TTS - all Apache2) and orchestrated by Dora-cs.

Links to find all the hardware/software we used in the demo:
- robot control framework – dora-rs: https://github.com/dora-rs/dora
- speech-to-text model – whisper: openai/whisper-base
- vision-text model – Idefics2: HuggingFaceM4/idefics2-8b-AWQ
- text-to-speech model – ParlerTTS mini: parler-tts/parler_tts_mini_v0.1
- robot: https://dji.com/robomaster-s1
- code gist: https://gist.github.com/haixuanTao/860e1740245dc2c8dd85b496150a9320
- Larger codebase: dora-rs/dora-idefics2
- laptop/pc: any with a recent GPU card (our has a RTX 4090)

Enjoy!

Very interesting model just released by MyShell: jetmoe/jetmoe-8b . It's a 8B-parameters MoE LLM so 2.2B active parameters, really efficient.

Main characteristics:
- impressive performances for its size (beating meta-llama/Llama-2-7b and huggyllama/llama-13b)
- combine Mixture of Attention heads (MoA) and Mixture of MLP Experts (MoE) – 8 experts with 2 being active for each token
- trained on a rather limited 1.25T tokens from publicly available datasets – training recipe follows the MiniCPM's two-phases training method => first time I see this for a 2B+ model
- $100k to train
- open weights - open sharing of recipes - open dataset - open code => ♡
- still interesting room to improve performances (be it only by training longer)

Links:
- report: https://research.myshell.ai/jetmoe
- model: jetmoe/jetmoe-8b
- code: https://github.com/myshell-ai/JetMoE

Note: I actually detailed all of the MiniCPM schedule, Mixture-of-expert (MoE) and many of the datasets used in this work in my recent little guide to building LLMs in 2024, so feel free to check it out if you want to learn more on these topics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-SPH9hIKT8

We would like to announce our Aurora-M multilingual models which is based on Starcoderplus.

Arxiv: Aurora-M: The First Open Source Multilingual Language Model Red-teamed according to the U.S. Executive Order (2404.00399)

Current LLMs are very susceptible to generating toxic, harmful and even dangerous content. They can also generate outputs with gender or racial biases. The Biden-Harris Executive Order https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2023/11/01/2023-24283/safe-secure-and-trustworthy-development-and-use-of-artificial-intelligence) sets forth guidelines on what is considered a safe AI system.
Following up on these guidelines, we present the world's first open source Biden-Harris Executive Order Red teamed Multilingual Language Model: Aurora-M. Inspired by BigScience, the model is trained on 5 languages: English, Hindi, Japanese, Vietnamese and Finnish.

* Red teamed model: aurora-m/aurora-m-biden-harris-redteamed tuned according to the order mentioned above)
* Base model: aurora-m/aurora-m-base (not safety tuned)
* Instruct model: aurora-m/aurora-m-instruct (not safety tuned)

A Little guide to building Large Language Models in 2024

This is a post-recording of a 75min lecture I gave two weeks ago on how to train a LLM from scratch in 2024. I tried to keep it short and comprehensive – focusing on concepts that are crucial for training good LLM but often hidden in tech reports.

In the lecture, I introduce the students to all the important concepts/tools/techniques for training good performance LLM:
* finding, preparing and evaluating web scale data
* understanding model parallelism and efficient training
* fine-tuning/aligning models
* fast inference

There is of course many things and details missing and that I should have added to it, don't hesitate to tell me you're most frustrating omission and I'll add it in a future part. In particular I think I'll add more focus on how to filter topics well and extensively and maybe more practical anecdotes and details.

Now that I recorded it I've been thinking this could be part 1 of a two-parts series with a 2nd fully hands-on video on how to run all these steps with some libraries and recipes we've released recently at HF around LLM training (and could be easily adapted to your other framework anyway):
*datatrove for all things web-scale data preparation: https://github.com/huggingface/datatrove
*nanotron for lightweight 4D parallelism LLM training: https://github.com/huggingface/nanotron
*lighteval for in-training fast parallel LLM evaluations: https://github.com/huggingface/lighteval

Here is the link to watch the lecture on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-SPH9hIKT8
And here is the link to the Google slides: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1IkzESdOwdmwvPxIELYJi8--K3EZ98_cL6c5ZcLKSyVg/edit#slide=id.p

Enjoy and happy to hear feedback on it and what to add, correct, extend in a second part.
