🇪🇺 Policy Thoughts in the EU AI Act Implementation 🇪🇺

There is a lot to like in the first draft of the EU GPAI Code of Practice, especially as regards transparency requirements. The Systemic Risks part, on the other hand, is concerning for both smaller developers and for external stakeholders.

I wrote more on this topic ahead of the next draft. TLDR: more attention to immediate large-scale risks and to collaborative solutions supported by evidence can help everyone - as long as developers disclose sufficient information about their design choices and deployment contexts.

Full blog here, based on our submitted response with @frimelle and @brunatrevelin :

🚨 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! 👇
