We built code datasets, English datasets, and now it’s time for math! 🚀

Check out Anton’s thread to learn how we curated the best public math pre-training dataset.

Yeah it was recorded, I will share it when it’s public

Sharing my slides on "Synthetic data and smol models in 2024" from yesterday's Latent Space event at NeurIPS: docs.google.com/presentation...

- Synthetic data is everywhere
- Model collapse, is the web polluted?
- 3B+ models running on your iPhone
- When and why use smol models?

Another great talk at @latentspacepod.bsky.social NeurIPS: @loubnabnl.hf.co on Synthetic Data & Smol Models

For anyone interested in fine-tuning or aligning LLMs, I’m running this free and open course called smol course. It’s not a big deal, it’s just smol.

The amazing, new Qwen2.5-Coder 32B model can now write SQL for any @hf.co dataset ✨

We hit 1K ⭐ on our SmolLM repo—thank you! 🎉 New updates:

• SmolLM2 nanotron checkpoints (with optimizer states) for easier continual pre-training
• Local inference demos (MLC, Transformers.js, MLX, llama.cpp)
• SmolVLM: Vision-language model built on SmolLM2

In this demo Andi used SmolLM2 to summarize a long email, asked it follow-up questions - and then used it to rewrite his reply as a formal email: x.com/andi_marafio...

📬 Summarize and rewrite your text/emails faster, and offline!

Check @andimara.bsky.social's Smol Tools for summarization and rewriting. It uses SmolLM2 to summarize text and make it more friendly or professional, all running locally thanks to llama.cpp github.com/huggingface/...

WOW! 🤯 Language models are becoming smaller and more capable than ever! Here's SmolLM2 running 100% locally in-browser w/ WebGPU on a 6-year-old GPU. Just look at that speed! ⚡️😍

How many tokens/second do you get? Let me know! 👇

This demo of structured data extraction running on an LLM that executes entirely in the browser (Chrome only for the moment since it uses WebGPU) is amazing

We’re looking for an intern to join our SmolLM team! If you’re excited about training LLMs and building high-quality datasets, we’d love to hear from you. 🤗

Let's go! We are releasing SmolVLM, a smol 2B VLM built for on-device inference that outperforms all models at similar GPU RAM usage and tokens throughputs.

SmolVLM can be fine-tuned on a Google collab and be run on a laptop! Or process millions of documents with a consumer GPU!

We use open Llama models for generating our new datasets and refer users to the original license of the existing datasets

Check out how easy it is to do LLM evals with LightEval!

* any dataset on the 🤗 Hub can become an eval task in a few lines of code: customize the prompt, metrics, parsing, few-shots, everything!
* model- and data-parallel inference
* auto batching with the new vLLM backend

It's Sunday morning so taking a minute for a nerdy thread (on math, tokenizers and LLMs) of the work of our intern Garreth

By adding a few lines of code to the base Llama 3 tokenizer, he got a free boost in arithmetic performance 😮

Excited to announce the SFT dataset used for @huggingface.bsky.social SmolLM2!

The dataset for SmolLM2 was created by combining multiple existing datasets and generating new synthetic datasets, including MagPie Ultra v1.0, using distilabel.

Check out the dataset:

What's the secret sauce of SmolLM2 to beat LLM titans like Llama3.2 and Qwen2.5?

Unsurprisingly: data, data, data!
