Introducing FineWeb-C 🌐🎓, a community-built dataset for improving language models in ALL languages.

Inspired by FineWeb-Edu the community is labelling the educational quality of texts for many languages.

318 annotators, 32K+ annotations, 12 languages - and growing! 🌍

Unpopular opinion: Open Source takes courage to do !

Not everyone is brave enough to release what they have done (the way they've done it) to the wild to be judged !
It really requires a high level of "knowing wth are you doing" ! It's kind of a super power !

Cheers to the heroes here who see this!

Apparently i forgot to put this here !

Well, this is a bit late but consider given our recent blog a read if you are interested in Evaluation.

You don't have to be into Arabic NLP in order to read it, the main contribution we are introducing is a new evaluation measure for NLG. We made the fisrt application of this measure on Arabic for now and we will be working with colleagues from the community to expand it to other languages.

My latest project is the outcome of the last 2+ years working with TPUs from the amazing TPU Research Cloud (TRC) program and training Encoder-only LMs with the TensorFlow Model Garden library.

👉 Link: https://github.com/stefan-it/model-garden-lms

An overview of some features:

- Cheatsheet for setting-up a TPU VM Pod (with all necessary dependencies) to pretrain LMs with TF Model Garden
- Conversion scripts that convert TF Model Garden weights to Hugging Face Transformers-compatible models
- Supported architectures include BERT, BERT with Token Dropping and TEAMS

I also released BERT-based models pretrained on the great Hugging Face FineWeb and FineWeb-Edu datasets (10BT subset). With more to come!

👉 Model Hub Link: https://huggingface.co/model-garden-lms

If you find these resources useful, please give them a like!

Made from Bavarian Oberland with ❤️ and 🥨.

Increasingly, LLMs are becoming very useful for helping scale annotation tasks, i.e. labelling and filtering. When combined with the structured generation, this can be a very scalable way of doing some pre-annotation without requiring a large team of human annotators.

However, there are quite a few cases where it still doesn't work well. This is a nice paper looking at the limitations of LLM as an annotator for Low Resource Languages: On Limitations of LLM as Annotator for Low Resource Languages (2411.17637).

Humans will still have an important role in the loop to help improve models for all languages (and domains).

First dataset for the new Hugging Face Bluesky community organisation: bluesky-community/one-million-bluesky-posts 🦋

📊 1M public posts from Bluesky's firehose API
🔍 Includes text, metadata, and language predictions
🔬 Perfect to experiment with using ML for Bluesky 🤗

Excited to see people build more open tools for a more open social media platform!

The Bluesky AT Protocol unlocks exciting possibilities:
- Building custom feeds using ML
- Creating dashboards for data exploration
- Developing custom models for Bluesky
To gather Bluesky resources on the Hub, I've created a community org: https://huggingface.co/bluesky-community

My first rather modest contribution is a dashboard that shows the number of posts every second. Drinking straight from the firehose API 🚰

🚨 How green is your model? 🌱 Introducing a new feature in the Comparator tool: Environmental Impact for responsible #LLM research!
👉 open-llm-leaderboard/comparator
Now, you can not only compare models by performance, but also by their environmental footprint!

🌍 The Comparator calculates CO₂ emissions during evaluation and shows key model characteristics: evaluation score, number of parameters, architecture, precision, type... 🛠️
Make informed decisions about your model's impact on the planet and join the movement towards greener AI!

🚀 New feature of the Comparator of the 🤗 Open LLM Leaderboard: now compare models with their base versions & derivatives (finetunes, adapters, etc.). Perfect for tracking how adjustments affect performance & seeing innovations in action. Dive deeper into the leaderboard!

🛠️ Here's how to use it:
1. Select your model from the leaderboard.
2. Load its model tree.
3. Choose any base & derived models (adapters, finetunes, merges, quantizations) for comparison.
4. Press Load.
See side-by-side performance metrics instantly!

Ready to dive in? 🏆 Try the 🤗 Open LLM Leaderboard Comparator now! See how models stack up against their base versions and derivatives to understand fine-tuning and other adjustments. Easier model analysis for better insights! Check it out here: open-llm-leaderboard/comparator 🌐

🚨 Instruct-tuning impacts models differently across families! Qwen2.5-72B-Instruct excels on IFEval but struggles with MATH-Hard, while Llama-3.1-70B-Instruct avoids MATH performance loss! Why? Can they follow the format in examples? 📊 Compare models: open-llm-leaderboard/comparator

Finding the Best SmolLM for Your Project

Need an LLM assistant but unsure which hashtag#smolLM to run locally? With so many models available, how can you decide which one suits your needs best? 🤔

If the model you’re interested in is evaluated on the Hugging Face Open LLM Leaderboard, there’s an easy way to compare them: use the model Comparator tool: open-llm-leaderboard/comparator
Let’s walk through an example👇

Let’s compare two solid options:
- Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct from Alibaba Cloud Qwen (1.5B params)
- gemma-2-2b-it from Google (2.5B params)

For an assistant, you want a model that’s great at instruction following. So, how do these two models stack up on the IFEval task?

What about other evaluations?
Both models are close in performance on many other tasks, showing minimal differences. Surprisingly, the 1.5B Qwen model performs just as well as the 2.5B Gemma in many areas, even though it's smaller in size! 📊

This is a great example of how parameter size isn’t everything. With efficient design and training, a smaller model like Qwen2.5-1.5B can match or even surpass larger models in certain tasks.

Looking for other comparisons? Drop your model suggestions below! 👇
