An assembly of 18 European companies, labs, and universities have banded together to launch 🇪🇺 EuroBERT! It's a state-of-the-art multilingual encoder for 15 European languages, designed to be finetuned for retrieval, classification, etc.
🇪🇺 15 Languages: English, French, German, Spanish, Chinese, Italian, Russian, Polish, Portuguese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Dutch, Arabic, Turkish, Hindi
3️⃣ 3 model sizes: 210M, 610M, and 2.1B parameters - very very useful sizes in my opinion
➡️ Sequence length of 8192 tokens! Nice to see these higher sequence lengths for encoders becoming more common.
⚙️ Architecture based on Llama, but with bi-directional (non-causal) attention to turn it into an encoder. Flash Attention 2 is supported.
🔥 A new Pareto frontier (stronger *and* smaller) for multilingual encoder models
📊 Evaluated against mDeBERTa, mGTE, XLM-RoBERTa for Retrieval, Classification, and Regression (after finetuning for each task separately): EuroBERT punches way above its weight.
📝 Detailed paper with all details, incl. data: FineWeb for English and CulturaX for multilingual data, The Stack v2 and Proof-Pile-2 for code.
Check out the release blogpost here: https://huggingface.co/blog/EuroBERT/release
* EuroBERT/EuroBERT-210m
* EuroBERT/EuroBERT-610m
* EuroBERT/EuroBERT-2.1B
The next step is for researchers to build upon the 3 EuroBERT base models and publish strong retrieval, zero-shot classification, etc. models for all to use. I'm very much looking forward to it!

I was chatting with
@peakji
, one of the cofounders of Manu AI, who told me he was on Hugging Face (very cool!).
He shared an interesting insight which is that agentic capabilities might be more of an alignment problem rather than a foundational capability issue. Similar to the difference between GPT-3 and InstructGPT, some open-source foundation models are simply trained to 'answer everything in one response regardless of the complexity of the question' - after all, that's the user preference in chatbot use cases. Just a bit of post-training on agentic trajectories can make an immediate and dramatic difference.
As a thank you to the community, he shared 100 invite code first-come first serve, just use “HUGGINGFACE” to get access!

We crossed 1B+ tokens routed to inference providers partners on HF, that we released just a few days ago.
Just getting started of course but early users seem to like it & always happy to be able to partner with cool startups in the ecosystem.
Have you been using any integration and how can we make it better?

IBM released
ibm-granite/granite-vision-3.1-2b-preview, a small vision LM with impressive performance on different tasks 😮🔥
it comes with transformers and vLLM support from the get-go 💗
you can run it in Colab T4, so I built a notebook to put it to test, find it here: https://github.com/merveenoyan/smol-vision/blob/main/inference_gists/IBM_Granite_Vision.ipynb

Simple Paper Review #5
I briefly reviewed the paper "SFT Memorizes, RL Generalizes," which compares SFT and RL in post-training of LLM/VLM from HKU, UC Berkeley, Google DeepMind, and New York University
The conclusion suggests SFT excels in memorization, while RL is better for generalization. However, since LLM/VLM should benefit humans beyond just generalization, a mix of SFT and RL is advisable. Typically, some SFT is followed by RL to understand prompt formats and enhance generalization through trial and error.
The study focused on one model, Llama-3.2-Vision-11B, using environments like General Points for arithmetic reasoning and V-IRL for spatial reasoning. Training data was used for both SFT and RL, with evaluations on in-distribution and out-of-distribution data to assess memorization and generalization.
I want to apply RL extensively, but it requires building a similar simulation environment. For domain-specific models, significant investment in creating a "playground" for the model is crucial, as the effort will directly influence the outcomes.

A brief summary of the o3-mini
The OpenAI o3-mini model is a significant improvement over the o1-mini, reaching o1 performance levels. While generally good, its performance isn't universally better than previous models (o1, o1-prev.) or GPT-4o across all benchmarks. This means workflows should be re-evaluated with each model upgrade.
The o3-mini has "low," "medium," and "high" versions, with "low" being the base model used for benchmarking. It's speculated that the higher versions simply involve more processing. A fair comparison with other models like Gemini 2.0 Thinking or DeepSeek-R1 would likely need to use the "low" version and a similar "think more" mechanism.
The system card is recommended reading due to its comprehensive benchmark data.

Explain like i'm 5 the last take from
@thomwolf
on X about Dario's essay on DeepSeek:
—› Open-source AI is like a big cookbook that everyone can read and improve. Instead of a few chefs keeping their recipes secret, anyone can cook, test, and invent new things.
If only one company controls AI, everything stops if they have a problem—like when the internet goes down. With open-source, many people can help, making sure it keeps running smoothly.
AI isn’t just a race between two countries; it’s a team effort around the world. By sharing, we move faster and create safer technology for everyone.
