✊ Transformers... Assemble! Introducing ♊ Ettin Suite, a SoTA open recipe to outperform existing Generative & Retrieval Models. Developed by Johns Hopkins University in collaboration with LightOn, Ettin is the first-ever SoTA suite of paired encoder & decoder models.

From RAG to riches, LightOn introduces FastPlaid, a new milestone for late-interaction architectures! 👏 Congratulations to @raphaelsty.bsky.social, ML Engineer at LightOn, on the release of FastPlaid, a high-performance engine for multi-vector search.

Another week, another SOTA. This time in Reasoning at @lightonai.bsky.social !

💫 LightOn releases GTE-ModernColBERT, the first State-of-the-Art late-interaction model trained on PyLate!

✨ Your know-how is your edge, AI is made to enhance it on your terms! 👀 Would you let AI access data you wouldn’t share with your team? 🛡️Internal governance remains paramount! This isn’t just smart permissions, it’s safer intelligence — activated

🎭 Your know-how comes in many forms, scattered across countless formats. 💡 What if the insight you seek - hidden in PDFs, PPTXs, XLSXs, PNGs, and JPEGs - was just one question away? This isn’t just multimodal search, it’s enterprise intelligence — activated

Join us at #MWC25 in Barcelona next week! Come discover LightOn latest innovations on Gcore 📌 Booth 6D44 in Hall 6 To know more 👉 lighton.ai/contactus

ModernBERT-embed-large is released under Apache 2.0 and is available on Hugging Face: huggingface.co/lightonai/mo... Congrats to @nohtow.bsky.social for this great work!

LightOn releases ModernBERT-embed-large model, a larger and more proficient iteration of ModernBERT-embed-base! This competitive fine-tuned variant aims at allowing everyone to play with ModernBERT, becoming an out-of-the-box tool and a starting point for fine-tuning! huggingface.co/lightonai/mo...

Blog post: huggingface.co/blog/modernb... Paper link: arxiv.org/abs/2412.13663 With @lightonai.bsky.social folks, we collaborated with @answerai.bsky.social (and friends!) to leverage the advances from recent years of work on LLMs (architecture and training) and apply them to a BERT-style model

I am thrilled to announce the release of ModernBERT, the long-awaited BERT replacement! There might be a few LLM releases per week, but there is only one drop-in replacement that brings Pareto improvements over the 6 years old BERT while going at lightspeed

Wow!

IA générative en entreprise : entre acquérir une solution clé en main et construire en interne, faut-il choisir ? Laurent Daudet, co-fondateur et CEO de LightOn, explore ce dilemme et ses implications : www.latribune.fr/opinions/tri... #IA #Innovation #Stratégie #Technologie

🚀 LightOn: A publicly traded company on Euronext Growth Two weeks ago, LightOn became the first publicly traded Generative AI company in Europe (ALTAI on Euronext Growth Paris). 👉 Learn more: www.lighton.ai/lighton-blog...

An added advantage is that, since ArabicWeb is not based on Common Crawl, it can be used together with FineWeb-2 to increase data quantity and diversity Read more on ArabicWeb24: www.lighton.ai/lighton-blog...

The FineWeb-2 study evaluated the quality of various pre-training datasets for the Arabic language. It's great to see that our work on ArabicWeb is competitive with the state of the art.

who's starting a starter pack featuring "machine learners whose name do not include an S"?

For those of you interested in how LLMs are going to change entire industries, don't hesitate to follow LightOn: bsky.app/profile/ligh...

do when is @comedialkb.bsky.social starting a starter pack in light, optics, diffusive media, etc....?

This type of thing happens all the time when training foundation models. It is neither catastrophic nor major. which brings us to the most important question: why would someone make a big deal out of it?
