New blog post on @huggingface!
An introdution to Trimming ✂️ a little-known but highly effective model reduction method. We achieved up to 87.24% size reduction while preserving performance 🧵

We surfed the dense and late-interaction waves… now it's time to SlideOn sparse retrieval 🐕
🚀 Meet SlideOn and mSlideOn, fully open SOTA sparse retrievers at 174M and 339M parameters, trained by @LightOnIO R&D

The future is sparse
(and open releases call for open release, very happy both our models and our data is useful to create other very cool open models!)

I always love models trained for one non-English models, and it's no exception here. @BdsLoick from @AI_AlphaEdge trained a French Sparse Embedding model for retrieval.
It's SOTA at its size (150M), very impressive as sparse embedding models are notoriously hard to train.

New open-source SOTA for French sparse retrieval! 👀
First, for those unfamiliar with this type of models, a sparse embedding model offers the advantage of being able to retrieve synonyms for words in a user query, whereas good old BM25 only retrieves exact matches.
What we’re sharing:
We’ve written a short blogpost sharing our experience with this successful replication. We are also making the benchmark and the trained model available on our HF organization 🤗

Everything is open: code to train, plan and reproduce every result, 93 checkpoints (4 sim envs + DROID) and the datasets.

We introduce FAT5 (Flash Attention T5) ⚡
An implementation of T5 in PyTorch with UL2 objective optimized for GPGPU for both training and inference thanks to 13 differents optimizations.
Unroll to find out more! 🧵👇 [1/8]
Replying to @BdsLoick @IBM @Microsoft @GoogleDeepMind @baai @qwen @orionweller @vllm @Google @Meta @huggingface @Nils_Reimers @jaseweston
From these 16 families, we generated more than 5,500 monolingual models in 124 different languages.
Big thanks to my HF Fellows bros for multilingual evaluation @tomaarsen, Bram Vanroy, @christopher, @w00jun_ @mrm8488, @prithivMLmods and to @AI_AlphaEdge for the time dedicated to this project 🙏
