I was initially pretty sceptical about Meta's Coconut paper [1] because the largest perf gains were reported on toy linguistic problems. However, these results on machine translation are pretty impressive!

Together with the recent PRIME method [2] for scaling RL, reasoning for open models is looking pretty exciting for 2025!

This paper ( HuatuoGPT-o1, Towards Medical Complex Reasoning with LLMs (2412.18925)) has a really interesting recipe for inducing o1-like behaviour in Llama models:

* Iteratively sample CoTs from the model, using a mix of different search strategies. This gives you something like Stream of Search via prompting.
* Verify correctness of each CoT using GPT-4o (needed because exact match doesn't work well in medicine where there are lots of aliases)
* Use GPT-4o to reformat the concatenated CoTs into a single stream that includes smooth transitions like "hmm, wait" etc that one sees in o1
* Use the resulting data for SFT & RL
* Use sparse rewards from GPT-4o to guide RL training. They find RL gives an average ~3 point boost across medical benchmarks and SFT on this data already gives a strong improvement.

Applying this strategy to other domains could be quite promising, provided the training data can be formulated with verifiable problems!

We outperform Llama 70B with Llama 3B on hard math by scaling test-time compute 🔥

How? By combining step-wise reward models with tree search algorithms :)

We show that smol models can match or exceed the performance of their much larger siblings when given enough "time to think"

We're open sourcing the full recipe and sharing a detailed blog post.

In our blog post we cover:

📈 Compute-optimal scaling: How we implemented DeepMind's recipe to boost the mathematical capabilities of open models at test-time.

🎄 Diverse Verifier Tree Search (DVTS): An unpublished extension we developed to the verifier-guided tree search technique. This simple yet effective method improves diversity and delivers better performance, particularly at large test-time compute budgets.

🧭 Search and Learn: A lightweight toolkit for implementing search strategies with LLMs and built for speed with vLLM

Here's the links:

We are proud to announce HuggingFaceFW/fineweb-2: A sparkling update to HuggingFaceFW/fineweb with 1000s of 🗣️languages.

We applied the same data-driven approach that led to SOTA English performance in🍷 FineWeb to thousands of languages.

🥂 FineWeb2 has 8TB of compressed text data and outperforms other multilingual datasets in our experiments.

The dataset is released under the permissive 📜 ODC-By 1.0 license, and the 💻 code to reproduce it and our evaluations is public.

We will very soon announce a big community project, and are working on a 📝 blogpost walking you through the entire dataset creation process. Stay tuned!

In the mean time come ask us question on our chat place: HuggingFaceFW/discussion

[New crazy blog post alert] We are releasing an extensive blog post on the science of creating high quality web-scale datasets, detailing all the steps and learnings that came in our recent 15 trillion tokens 🍷FineWeb release

Inspired by the distill.pub interactive graphics papers, we settled to write the most extensive, enjoyable and in-depth tech report we could draft on so prepare for a 45-mmin read with interactive graphics and all.

And it's not all, in this article we also introduce 📚FineWeb-Edu a filtered subset of Common Crawl with 1.3T tokens containing only web pages with very high educational content. Up to our knowledge, FineWeb-Edu out-performs all openly release web-scale datasets by a significant margin on knowledge- and reasoning-intensive benchmarks like MMLU, ARC, and OpenBookQA

We also make a number of surprising observations on the "quality" of the internet it-self which may challenge some of the general assumptions on web data (not saying more, I'll let you draw your conclusions ;)

Is is time for the open-source AI robots revolution 🚀?

With @haixuantao and @Leyo we’ve been playing with a low-cost DJI robot controlled by three local open-source AI models (Whisper, Idefics2, Parler-TTS - all Apache2) and orchestrated by Dora-cs.

Links to find all the hardware/software we used in the demo:
- robot control framework – dora-rs: https://github.com/dora-rs/dora
- speech-to-text model – whisper: openai/whisper-base
- vision-text model – Idefics2: HuggingFaceM4/idefics2-8b-AWQ

Introducing Zephyr 141B-A35B 🪁:

HuggingFaceH4/zephyr-orpo-141b-A35b-v0.1

Yesterday, Mistral released their latest base model (via magnet link of course 😅) and the community quickly converted it to transformers format and pushed it to the Hub: mistral-community/Mixtral-8x22B-v0.1

Early evals of this model looked extremely strong, so we teamed up with Argilla and KAIST AI to cook up a Zephyr recipe with a few new alignment techniques that came out recently:

🧑‍🍳 Align the base model with Odds Ratio Preference Optimisation (ORPO). This novel algorithm developed by @JW17 and @nlee-208 and @j6mes and does not require an SFT step to achieve high performance and is thus much more computationally efficient than methods like DPO and PPO.

🦫 Use a brand new dataset of 7k high-quality, multi-turn preferences that has been developed by our friends at Argilla. To create this dataset, they took the excellent Capybara SFT dataset from @LDJnr LDJnr/Capybara and converted it into a preference dataset by augmenting the final turn with responses from new LLMs that were then ranked by GPT-4.

What we find especially neat about this approach is that training on 7k samples only takes ~1.3h on 4 H100 nodes, yet produces a model that is very strong on chat benchmarks like IFEval and BBH.

Kudos to @alvarobartt @JW17 and @nlee-208 for this very nice and fast-paced collab!

Very interesting model just released by MyShell: jetmoe/jetmoe-8b . It's a 8B-parameters MoE LLM so 2.2B active parameters, really efficient.

Main characteristics:
- impressive performances for its size (beating meta-llama/Llama-2-7b and huggyllama/llama-13b)
- combine Mixture of Attention heads (MoA) and Mixture of MLP Experts (MoE) – 8 experts with 2 being active for each token
- trained on a rather limited 1.25T tokens from publicly available datasets – training recipe follows the MiniCPM's two-phases training method => first time I see this for a 2B+ model
- $100k to train
- open weights - open sharing of recipes - open dataset - open code => ♡
- still interesting room to improve performances (be it only by training longer)

Links:
- report: https://research.myshell.ai/jetmoe
- model: jetmoe/jetmoe-8b
- code: https://github.com/myshell-ai/JetMoE

Note: I actually detailed all of the MiniCPM schedule, Mixture-of-expert (MoE) and many of the datasets used in this work in my recent little guide to building LLMs in 2024, so feel free to check it out if you want to learn more on these topics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-SPH9hIKT8
