Introducing FineWeb-C 🌐🎓, a community-built dataset for improving language models in ALL languages.

Inspired by FineWeb-Edu the community is labelling the educational quality of texts for many languages.

318 annotators, 32K+ annotations, 12 languages - and growing! 🌍

Apollo is a new family of open-source video language models by Meta, where 3B model outperforms most 7B models and 7B outperforms most 30B models 🧶

✨ the models come in 1.5B https://huggingface.co/Apollo-LMMs/Apollo-1_5B-t32, 3B https://huggingface.co/Apollo-LMMs/Apollo-3B-t32 and 7B https://huggingface.co/Apollo-LMMs/Apollo-7B-t32 with A2.0 license, based on Qwen1.5 & Qwen2
✨ the authors also release a benchmark dataset https://huggingface.co/spaces/Apollo-LMMs/ApolloBench

The paper has a lot of experiments (they trained 84 models!) about what makes the video LMs work ⏯️

Try the demo for best setup here https://huggingface.co/spaces/Apollo-LMMs/Apollo-3B
they evaluate sampling strategies, scaling laws for models and datasets, video representation and more!
> The authors find out that whatever design decision was applied to small models also scale properly when the model and dataset are scaled 📈 scaling dataset has diminishing returns for smaller models
> They evaluate frame sampling strategies, and find that FPS sampling is better than uniform sampling, and they find 8-32 tokens per frame optimal
> They also compare image encoders, they try a variation of models from shape optimized SigLIP to DINOv2
they find google/siglip-so400m-patch14-384 to be most powerful 🔥
> they also compare freezing different parts of models, training all stages with some frozen parts give the best yield

They eventually release three models, where Apollo-3B outperforms most 7B models and Apollo 7B outperforms 30B models 🔥

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🎄 Diverse Verifier Tree Search (DVTS): An unpublished extension we developed to the verifier-guided tree search technique.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:

- Blog post: HuggingFaceH4/blogpost-scaling-test-time-compute

- Code: https://github.com/huggingface/search-and-learn

Enjoy!

A complete RAG pipeline includes a reranker, which ranks the documents to find the best document 📓
Same goes for multimodal RAG, multimodal rerankers which we can integrate to multimodal RAG pipelines!
Learn how to build a complete multimodal RAG pipeline with vidore/colqwen2-v1.0 as retriever, lightonai/MonoQwen2-VL-v0.1 as reranker, Qwen/Qwen2-VL-7B-Instruct as VLM in this notebook that runs on a GPU as small as L4 🔥 https://huggingface.co/learn/cookbook/multimodal_rag_using_document_retrieval_and_reranker_and_vlms

After some heated discussion 🔥, we clarify our intent re. storage limits on the Hub

TL;DR:
- public storage is free, and (unless blatant abuse) unlimited. We do ask that you consider upgrading to PRO and/or Enterprise Hub if possible
- private storage is paid above a significant free tier (1TB if you have a paid account, 100GB otherwise)

docs: https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/storage-limits

We optimize our infrastructure continuously to scale our storage for the coming years of growth in Machine learning, to the benefit of the community 🔥

small but mighty 🔥
you can fine-tune SmolVLM on an L4 with batch size of 4 and it will only take 16.4 GB VRAM 🫰🏻 also with gradient accumulation simulated batch size is 16 ✨
I made a notebook that includes all the goodies: QLoRA, gradient accumulation, gradient checkpointing with explanations on how they work 💝 https://github.com/huggingface/smollm/blob/main/finetuning/Smol_VLM_FT.ipynb

Increasingly, LLMs are becoming very useful for helping scale annotation tasks, i.e. labelling and filtering. When combined with the structured generation, this can be a very scalable way of doing some pre-annotation without requiring a large team of human annotators.

However, there are quite a few cases where it still doesn't work well. This is a nice paper looking at the limitations of LLM as an annotator for Low Resource Languages: On Limitations of LLM as Annotator for Low Resource Languages (2411.17637).

Humans will still have an important role in the loop to help improve models for all languages (and domains).

The authors of ColPali trained a retrieval model based on SmolVLM 🤠 vidore/colsmolvlm-alpha
TLDR;

- ColSmolVLM performs better than ColPali and DSE-Qwen2 on all English tasks

- ColSmolVLM is more memory efficient than ColQwen2 💗

The Bluesky AT Protocol unlocks exciting possibilities:
- Building custom feeds using ML
- Creating dashboards for data exploration
- Developing custom models for Bluesky
To gather Bluesky resources on the Hub, I've created a community org: https://huggingface.co/bluesky-community

My first rather modest contribution is a dashboard that shows the number of posts every second. Drinking straight from the firehose API 🚰
