Since I published it on GitHub a few days ago,
Hugging Face's new agentic library ๐˜€๐—บ๐—ผ๐—น๐—ฎ๐—ด๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜๐˜€ has gathered nearly 4k stars ๐Ÿคฏ

โžก๏ธ But we are just getting started on agents: so we are hiring an ML Engineer to join me and double down on this effort!

The plan is to build GUI agents: agents that can act on your computer with mouse & keyboard, like Claude Computer Use.

We will make it work better, and fully open. โœจ

OpenAI is losing money on the $200/month subscription ๐Ÿคฏ. It's crazy how expensive it is to run these largest LLMs:

- ChatGPT Pro costs $200/month ($2,400/year) and is still unprofitable for OpenAI due to higher-than-expected usage.
- OpenAI reportedly expected losses of about $5 billion on revenue of $3.7 billion last year, with ChatGPT alone once costing an estimated $700,000 per day to operate. ๐Ÿ’ธ๐Ÿ”ฅ
- They build strong models and do great research. Whether this business model will work in the long run is one of the biggest questions in the AI economy today.

๐Ÿš€ Releasing a new zeroshot-classifier based on ModernBERT! Some key takeaways:

- โšก Speed & efficiency: It's multiple times faster and uses significantly less memory than DeBERTav3. You can use larger batch sizes and enabling bf16 (instead of fp16) gave me a ~2x speed boost as well
- ๐Ÿ“‰ Performance tradeoff: It performs slightly worse than DeBERTav3 on average across my zeroshot classification task collection
- ๐Ÿง  Use cases: I recommend using it for scenarios requiring speed and a larger context window (8k).
- ๐Ÿ’ก Whatโ€™s next? Iโ€™m preparing a newer version trained on better + longer synthetic data to fully leverage the 8k context window and improve upon the training mix of my older zeroshot-v2.0 models. I also hope that there will be a multilingual variant in the future.

Great work by https://huggingface.co/answerdotai !

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: ๐—ช๐—ฒ๐—น๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ฒ ๐— ๐—ผ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ป๐—•๐—˜๐—ฅ๐—ง! ๐Ÿค—

We talk a lot about โœจGenerative AIโœจ, 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.

โžก๏ธ Now a collaboration between Answer.AI and LightOn just introduced BERT's replacement: ModernBERT.

๐—ง๐—Ÿ;๐——๐—ฅ:
๐Ÿ›๏ธ Architecture changes:
โ‡’ First, standard modernizations:
- Rotary positional embeddings (RoPE)
- Replace GeLU with GeGLU,
- Use Flash Attention 2
โœจ The team also introduced innovative techniques like alternating attention instead of full attention, and sequence packing to get rid of padding overhead.

๐Ÿฅ‡ 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!

๐Ÿ› ๏ธ 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.

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!

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.

โžก๏ธ 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.

๐Ÿ’ฅ 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! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

๐Ÿ—๏ธ ๐—”๐—ฟ๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—ถ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐˜๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ฒ:
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.

๐Ÿงฉ ๐——๐˜†๐—ป๐—ฎ๐—บ๐—ถ๐—ฐ ๐—ฃ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด:
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!

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!

โ“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.

๐Ÿ—ž๏ธ This new article by Semianalysis (generally a good source, specifically on hardware) provides a counter-rumor that I find more convincing:

โžก๏ธ 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:

๐ŸŒŽ Cohere relased GLobal-MMLU, a multilingual version of MMLU, to evaluate AI models' world knowledge in many languages!

๐Ÿฆ™ 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.

๐Ÿ”‰ FishAudio released fish-speech-1.5, multilingual text to speech model

๐ŸŽจ Microsoft Research released TRELLIS, an extremely impressive image-to-3D model, which you can try here: JeffreyXiang/TRELLIS

๐Ÿ“š 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 ! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

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.

โš™๏ธ They put several good ideas to work:

๐Ÿ’ก 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

๐Ÿ’ก 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.

โžก๏ธ 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! ๐Ÿ†

And performance could certainly jump with a slightly bigger vision model. Let's hope the community builds this soon! ๐Ÿš€

๐Ÿ’ก Reminder:ย In short, Agentic systems are a vehicle in which you put your LLM to allow it access to the outside world.

โžก๏ธ 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! ๐Ÿฅ‡

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

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

The top 10 is exclusively US ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ and Chinese ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ companies (after great Chinese LLM releases recently, like the Qwen2.5 series), with the notable exception of Mistral AI ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท.

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 ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

โš ๏ธ 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"?
๐Ÿ‘‰ 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 voilร , you get your score.

๐Ÿง 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.

๐Ÿ“Š 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!
