Today we make the biggest release in smolagents so far: 𝘄𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗺𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹𝘀, 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝘄𝗲𝗯 𝗯𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀! 🥳

Our agents can now casually open up a web browser, and navigate on it by scrolling, clicking elements on the webpage, going back, just like a user would.

The demo below shows Claude-3.5-Sonnet browsing GitHub for task: "Find how many commits the author of the current top trending repo did over last year."
Hi @mlabonne !

Go try it out, it's the most cracked agentic stuff I've seen in a while 🤯 (well, along with OpenAI's Operator who beat us by one day)

For more detail, read our announcement blog 👉 https://huggingface.co/blog/smolagents-can-see
The code for the web browser example is here 👉 https://github.com/huggingface/smolagents/blob/main/examples/vlm_web_browser.py

𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗠𝗮𝘅'𝘀 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗠𝗼𝗘 𝗟𝗟𝗠 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘀 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘂𝗱𝗲-𝗦𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝘁 𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝟰𝗠 𝘁𝗼𝗸𝗲𝗻𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵 💥

This work from Chinese startup @MiniMax-AI introduces a novel architecture that achieves state-of-the-art performance while handling context windows up to 4 million tokens - roughly 20x longer than current models. The key was combining lightning attention, mixture of experts (MoE), and a careful hybrid approach.

𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀:

🏗️ MoE with novel hybrid attention:
‣ Mixture of Experts with 456B total parameters (45.9B activated per token)
‣ Combines Lightning attention (linear complexity) for most layers and traditional softmax attention every 8 layers

🏆 Outperforms leading models across benchmarks while offering vastly longer context:
‣ Competitive with GPT-4/Claude-3.5-Sonnet on most tasks
‣ Can efficiently handle 4M token contexts (vs 256K for most other LLMs)

🔬 Technical innovations enable efficient scaling:
‣ Novel expert parallel and tensor parallel strategies cut communication overhead in half
‣ Improved linear attention sequence parallelism, multi-level padding and other optimizations achieve 75% GPU utilization (that's really high, generally utilization is around 50%)

🎯 Thorough training strategy:
‣ Careful data curation and quality control by using a smaller preliminary version of their LLM as a judge!

Overall, not only is the model impressive, but the technical paper is also really interesting! 📝
It has lots of insights including a great comparison showing how a 2B MoE (24B total) far outperforms a 7B model for the same amount of FLOPs.

The main bottleneck in building GUI agents it to find training data.
GUI Agent trajectories are not easy to get by. Crowdsourcing trajectories, then manually annotating them, could be an option, but at scale, it's hard to do

You could use synthetic data generation (ask 1000s small existing GUI agents to solve tasks, keep only successful runs). But then it's hard to come up with many high level-tasks.

➡️ Well, a novel technique was just published that creates a new promising paradigm for synthetic data generation: Shanghai AI Lab researchers propose OS-Genesis, a novel way to create training data for GUI agents that flips the traditional approach on its head. Instead of starting with predefined tasks and having humans or machines execute them, OS-Genesis first explores the interface naturally, then derives meaningful tasks from those interactions.

🔍 Exploration-driven vs task-driven approach:
‣ Instead of starting with tasks, OS-Genesis first explores GUIs by clicking and interacting
‣ It then reverse-engineers high-level tasks from successful interaction patterns
‣ This leads to more natural and diverse training data than predefined tasks

🎯 Novel reward model for trajectory quality:
‣ Rather than discarding incomplete trajectories, OS-Genesis scores them based on coherence and completion
‣ This preserves valuable partial successes that would otherwise be wasted

🏆 Superior results across environments:
‣ Nearly doubles performance on AndroidWorld (9.8% → 17.4%)

By the way, this field of GUI agents is still in infancy, so you can still make a difference with "low-cost" setups: their paper gets SOTA results with only 8xA100!

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!

🕰️ 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)

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!

‣ Can natively use tools like Google Search and execute code

➡️ If the price is on par with previous Flash iteration ($0.30 / M tokens, to compare with GPT-4o's $1.25) the competition will have a big problem with this 4x cheaper model that gets better benchmarks 🤯

𝐒𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐥𝐚𝐰𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐲𝐞𝐭! New blog post suggests Anthropic might have an extremely strong Opus-3.5 already available, but is not releasing it to keep their edge over the competition. 🧐

❓Since the release of Opus-3.5 has been delayed indefinitely, there have been lots of rumors and articles about LLMs plateauing. Scaling laws, the main powering factor of the LLM competence increase, could have stopped, according to these rumors, being the cause of this stalling of progress.

These rumors were quickly denied by many people at the leading LLM labs, including OpenAI and Anthropic. But these people would be expected to hype the future of LLMs even if scaling laws really plateaued, so the jury is still out.

🗞️ This new article by Semianalysis (generally a good source, specifically on hardware) provides a counter-rumor that I find more convincing:

➡️ Maybe scaling laws still work, Opus-3.5 is ready and as good as planned, but they just don't release it because the synthetic data it helps provide can bring cheaper/smaller models Claude and Haiku up in performance, without risking to leak this precious high-quality synthetic data to competitors.

Time will tell! I feel like we'll know more soon.

Last week was crazy in OS AI, with important models and datasets releases every day.

Here are the most important ones I've pinned:

🌎 Cohere relased GLobal-MMLU, a multilingual version of MMLU, to evaluate AI models' world knowledge in many languages!

🦙 Meta released Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct, a 70B model that's on par with Llama-3.1-405B-Instruct, GPT-4o and Claude. Probably my new go-to for agentic workflows.

🔉 FishAudio released fish-speech-1.5, multilingual text to speech model

🎨 Microsoft Research released TRELLIS, an extremely impressive image-to-3D model, which you can try here: JeffreyXiang/TRELLIS

📚 Yesterday, Hugging Face release FineWeb 2, a new version that extends the previous FineWeb to over 1000 languages, including extended coverage in Russina, Mandarin, German, Japanese, Spanish, French, so a huge, high-quality dataset of > 3 trillion words! HuggingFaceFW/fineweb-2

Now let's go build to make this week as productive as last one!

A team from NUS and Microsoft just released an agent that can act on any UI (Desktop, Android, Web) without needing additional text information. It works extremely well : they applied their method on a tiny Qwen2-VL-2B, and they managed to beat methods that use either much more powerful vision models (like GPT-4V) without using any additional info (e.g. leveraging the DOM of a webpage) like previous methods did ! 👏👏

They started from the idea that most existing methods rely heavily on text, which makes them less generalizable, while letting aside rich UI structure that user actually rely on when navigating this interfaces.

⚙️ They put several good ideas to work:

💡 Simplify screenshots to the max:
They prune a lot the heavy visual content of UI screenshots, by removing cloned image patches (like any vast patch of the same color will be reduced to a small patch, while maintaining positional embeddings), then group patches from the same GUI elements together to simplify even further

💡 Build a truly generalist dataset:
To train a general UI agent, you need trajectories from each possible UI, and express them in a common language. Authors merge datasets like OmniAct for Desktop, Mind2Web for websites, AMEX for Android trajectories to create a high-quality and diverse dataset.

➡️ Nice results ensued:
They fine-tune a tiny Qwen-2-VL-2B on their method, and it reaches SOTA on several task (element identification, web navigation), even beating methods that either use additional info from the DOM or use much bigger VLMS like GPT-4v! 🏆

And performance could certainly jump with a slightly bigger vision model. Let's hope the community builds this soon! 🚀

🤖 𝗔𝗱𝗼𝗯𝗲'𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗱𝗲-𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝗼𝗳 𝗚𝗔𝗜𝗔 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗯𝗼𝗮𝗿𝗱 - and their paper cites my work!

💡 Reminder: In short, Agentic systems are a vehicle in which you put your LLM to allow it access to the outside world.

➡️ The team of researchers at Adobe started from the idea that current agentic systems lack the ability to define their own tools. So they decided to make an agent that writes actions as code, thus allowing it to write python functions that can be re-used later as tools!

Here's what the LLM generations can look like with the proper prompt:

Thought: I need to access the excel file using a different method.
Action:

def access_excel_file(file_path)
	... # rest of the code (the agent does writes it, but I don't have room in this post)
	return rows

Then your system executes this and appends the observation to the agent's memory.

Why is this code formulation better than classical tool use formulation as JSON? The paper explains:

"Most existing work uses text or JSON as the representation of actions, which significantly lacks the two criteria mentioned earlier: generality and composability. In contrast, DynaSaur can utilize available actions or create new ones if necessary, using code as a unified representation. In principle, acting with code enables agents to solve any Turing-complete problem."

The idea of using code is not new: in fact, we do it in transformers.agents (thus the citation that I got). They implementation adds further refinements, like using RAG to retrieve relevant functions before generating an action, which increases performance further.

And they observe that code agents perform much better, reaching the top of GAIA leaderboard! 🥇

Go take a look, it's really clear and informative!

Made a new app to visualize the LLM race ⇒ 𝗡𝗼 𝗘𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝟭𝟬 🇪🇺❌

See the app here 👉 m-ric/llm-race-to-the-top

I've adapted an app by @andrewrreed that tracks progress of LLMs ( andrewrreed/closed-vs-open-arena-elo), on the Chatbot Arena leaderboard, to compare companies from different countries.

The outcome is quite sad, as a Frenchman and European.

The top 10 is exclusively US 🇺🇸 and Chinese 🇨🇳 companies (after great Chinese LLM releases recently, like the Qwen2.5 series), with the notable exception of Mistral AI 🇫🇷.

American companies are making fast progress, Chinese ones even faster. Europe is at risk of being left behind. And the EU AI Act hasn't even come into force yet to slow down the EU market. We need to wake up 😬

⚠️ Caution: This Chatbot Arena ELO ranking is not the most accurate, especially at high scores like this, because LLM makers can game it to some extent.

Evaluating systems is critical during prototyping and in production, and LLM-as-a-judge has become a standard technique to do it.

First, what is "LLM-as-a-judge"?
👉 It's a very useful technique for evaluating LLM outputs. If anything you're evaluating cannot be properly evaluated with deterministic criteria, like the "politeness" of an LLM output, or how faithful it is to an original source, you can use LLM-judge instead : prompt another LLM with "Here's an LLM output, please rate this on criterion {criterion} on a scale of 1 to 5", then parse the number from its output, and voilà, you get your score.

🧐 But who judges the judge?
How can you make sure your LLM-judge is reliable? You can have a specific dataset annotated with scores provided by human judges, and compare how LLM-judge scores correlate with human judge scores.

📊 Before even running that benchmark, to get you started, there's a new option to get you started: a leaderboard that measures how well different model perform as judges!

And the outcome is surprising, models come in quite different orders from what we're used to in general rankings: probably some have much better bias mitigation than others!
