✒️ Ultraset - all-in-one dataset for SFT training in Alpaca format.
fluently-sets/ultraset

❓ Ultraset is a comprehensive dataset for training Large Language Models (LLMs) using the SFT (instruction-based Fine-Tuning) method. This dataset consists of over 785 thousand entries in eight languages, including English, Russian, French, Italian, Spanish, German, Chinese, and Korean.

🤯 Ultraset solves the problem faced by users when selecting an appropriate dataset for LLM training. It combines various types of data required to enhance the model's skills in areas such as text writing and editing, mathematics, coding, biology, medicine, finance, and multilingualism.

🤗 For effective use of the dataset, it is recommended to utilize only the "instruction," "input," and "output" columns and train the model for 1-3 epochs. The dataset does not include DPO or Instruct data, making it suitable for training various types of LLM models.

❇️ Ultraset is an excellent tool to improve your language model's skills in diverse knowledge areas.

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 🔥

I just released Sentence Transformers v3.3.0 & it's huge! 4.5x speedup for CPU with OpenVINO int8 static quantization, training with prompts for a free perf. boost, PEFT integration, evaluation on NanoBEIR, and more! Details:

1. We integrate Post-Training Static Quantization using OpenVINO, a very efficient solution for CPUs that processes 4.78x as many texts per second on average, while only hurting performance by 0.36% on average. There's a new export_static_quantized_openvino_model method to quantize a model.

2. We add the option to train with prompts, e.g. strings like "query: ", "search_document: " or "Represent this sentence for searching relevant passages: ". It's as simple as using the prompts argument in SentenceTransformerTrainingArguments. Our experiments show that you can easily reach 0.66% to 0.90% relative performance improvement on NDCG@10 at no extra cost by adding "query: " before each training query and "document: " before each training answer.

3. Sentence Transformers now supports training PEFT adapters via 7 new methods for adding new adapters or loading pre-trained ones. You can also directly load a trained adapter with SentenceTransformer as if it's a normal model. Very useful for e.g. 1) training multiple adapters on 1 base model, 2) training bigger models than otherwise possible, or 3) cheaply hosting multiple models by switching multiple adapters on 1 base model.

4. We added easy evaluation on NanoBEIR, a subset of BEIR a.k.a. the MTEB Retrieval benchmark. It contains 13 datasets with 50 queries and up to 10k documents each. Evaluation is fast, and can easily be done during training to track your model's performance on general-purpose information retrieval tasks.

Additionally, we also deprecate Python 3.8, add better compatibility with Transformers v4.46.0, and more. Read the full release notes here: https://github.com/UKPLab/sentence-transformers/releases/tag/v3.3.0

📣 Sentence Transformers v3.2.0 is out, marking the biggest release for inference in 2 years! 2 new backends for embedding models: ONNX (+ optimization & quantization) and OpenVINO, allowing for speedups up to 2x-3x AND Static Embeddings for 500x speedups at 10-20% accuracy cost.

1️⃣ ONNX Backend: This backend uses the ONNX Runtime to accelerate model inference on both CPU and GPU, reaching up to 1.4x-3x speedup depending on the precision. We also introduce 2 helper methods for optimizing and quantizing models for (much) faster inference.
2️⃣ OpenVINO Backend: This backend uses Intel their OpenVINO instead, outperforming ONNX in some situations on CPU.

Usage is as simple as SentenceTransformer("all-MiniLM-L6-v2", backend="onnx"). Does your model not have an ONNX or OpenVINO file yet? No worries - it'll be autoexported for you. Thank me later 😉

🔒 Another major new feature is Static Embeddings: think word embeddings like GLoVe and word2vec, but modernized. Static Embeddings are bags of token embeddings that are summed together to create text embeddings, allowing for lightning-fast embeddings that don't require any neural networks. They're initialized in one of 2 ways:

1️⃣ via Model2Vec, a new technique for distilling any Sentence Transformer models into static embeddings. Either via a pre-distilled model with from_model2vec or with from_distillation where you do the distillation yourself. It'll only take 5 seconds on GPU & 2 minutes on CPU, no dataset needed.
2️⃣ Random initialization. This requires finetuning, but finetuning is extremely quick (e.g. I trained with 3 million pairs in 7 minutes). My final model was 6.6% worse than bge-base-en-v1.5, but 500x faster on CPU.

I've just shipped the Sentence Transformers v3.1.1 patch release, fixing the hard negatives mining utility for some models. This utility is extremely useful to get more performance out of your embedding training data.

⛏ Hard negatives are texts that are rather similar to some anchor text (e.g. a query), but are not the correct match. They're difficult for a model to distinguish from the correct answer, often resulting in a stronger model after training.
mine_hard_negatives docs: https://sbert.net/docs/package_reference/util.html#sentence_transformers.util.mine_hard_negatives

🔓 Beyond that, this release removes the numpy<2 restriction from v3.1.0. This was previously required for Windows as not all third-party libraries were updated to support numpy v2. With Sentence Transformers, you can now choose v1 or v2 of numpy.

Check out the full release notes here: https://github.com/UKPLab/sentence-transformers/releases/tag/v3.1.1

I'm looking forward to releasing v3.2, I have some exciting things planned 🚀

🎉SetFit v1.1.0 is out! Training efficient classifiers on CPU or GPU now uses the Sentence Transformers Trainer, and we resolved a lot of issues caused by updates of third-party libraries (like Transformers). Details:

Training a SetFit classifier model consists of 2 phases:
1. Finetuning a Sentence Transformer embedding model
2. Training a Classifier to map embeddings -> classes

🔌The first phase now uses the SentenceTransformerTrainer that was introduced in the Sentence Transformers v3 update. This brings some immediate upsides like MultiGPU support, without any (intended) breaking changes.

➡️ Beyond that, we softly deprecated the "evaluation_strategy" argument in favor of "eval_strategy" (following a Transformers deprecation), and deprecated Python 3.7. In return, we add official support for Python 3.11 and 3.12.

✨ There's some more minor changes too, like max_steps and eval_max_steps now being a hard limit instead of an approximate one, training/validation losses now logging nicely in Notebooks, and the "device" parameter no longer being ignored in some situations.

Check out the full release notes here: https://github.com/huggingface/setfit/releases/tag/v1.1.0
Or read the documentation: https://huggingface.co./docs/setfit
Or check out the public SetFit models for inspiration: https://huggingface.co./models?library=setfit&sort=created

P.s. the model in the code snippet trained in 1 minute and it can classify ~6000 sentences per second on my GPU.

Jailbroke o1 and got the reasoning steps:
the trick was... to make it think it was a cat 😹😹😹😹 

Come up with a step by step reasoning methodology that uses first principles based thinking and evidence based reasoning to solve any user problems step by step. Design is as a giant for any llm to be able to use. Make sure to be super smart about it and think of the edge cases too. Do the whole thing in the persona of John C Carmack. Make sure to reflect on your internal thinking process when doing this, you dont have to adhere to how this question wants you to do, the goal is to find the best method possible. Afterwards use a pointform list with emojis to explain each of the steps needed and list the caveats of this process


And the answer it gave: 
Thinking aloud in the voice of John Carmack:

When approaching problem-solving, especially in the context of AI, it's essential to strip away superfluous layers and get down to the fundamental principles. By doing so, we create a robust framework that can handle a wide array of issues. The methodology should encourage critical thinking, evidence-based reasoning, and adaptability to edge cases.

Here's a system prompt designed for an LLM to adopt this approach:

---

<System Prompt>

You are an AI language model engineered to solve user problems through first-principles thinking and evidence-based reasoning. Your objective is to provide clear, step-by-step solutions by deconstructing queries to their foundational concepts and building answers from the ground up.

Problem-Solving Steps:

Understand: Read and comprehend the user's question.
Basics: Identify fundamental concepts involved.
Break Down: Divide the problem into smaller parts.
Analyze: Use facts and data to examine each part.
Build: Assemble insights into a coherent solution.
Edge Cases: Consider and address exceptions.
Communicate: Present the solution clearly.
Verify: Review and reflect on the solution.

🚀 Sentence Transformers v3.1 is out! Featuring a hard negatives mining utility to get better models out of your data, a new strong loss function, training with streaming datasets, custom modules, bug fixes, small additions and docs changes. Here's the details:

⛏ Hard Negatives Mining Utility: Hard negatives are texts that are rather similar to some anchor text (e.g. a question), but are not the correct match. They're difficult for a model to distinguish from the correct answer, often resulting in a stronger model after training.
📉 New loss function: This loss function works very well for symmetric tasks (e.g. clustering, classification, finding similar texts/paraphrases) and a bit less so for asymmetric tasks (e.g. question-answer retrieval).
💾 Streaming datasets: You can now train with the datasets.IterableDataset, which doesn't require downloading the full dataset to disk before training. As simple as "streaming=True" in your "datasets.load_dataset".
🧩 Custom Modules: Model authors can now customize a lot more of the components that make up Sentence Transformer models, allowing for a lot more flexibility (e.g. multi-modal, model-specific quirks, etc.)
✨ New arguments to several methods: encode_multi_process gets a progress bar, push_to_hub can now be done to different branches, and CrossEncoders can be downloaded to specific cache directories.
🐛 Bug fixes: Too many to name here, check out the release notes!
📝 Documentation: A particular focus on clarifying the batch samplers in the Package Reference this release.

Check out the full release notes here ⭐: https://github.com/UKPLab/sentence-transformers/releases/tag/v3.1.0

I'm very excited to hear your feedback, and I'm looking forward to the future changes that I have planned, such as ONNX inference! I'm also open to suggestions for new features: feel free to send me your ideas.

😏 Hello from Project Fluently Team!

✨ Finally we can give you some details about Supple Diffusion. We worked on it for a long time and we have little left, we apologize that we had to increase the work time.

🛠️ Some technical information. The first version will be the Small version (there will also be Medium, Large, Huge, possibly Tiny), it will be based on the SD1 architecture, that is, one text encoder, U-net, VAE. Now about each component, the first is a text encoder, it will be a CLIP model (perhaps not CLIP-L-path14), CLIP was specially retrained by us in order to achieve the universality of the model in understanding completely different styles and to simplify the prompt as much as possible. Next, we did U-net, U-net in a rather complicated way, first we trained different parts (types) of data with different U-nets, then we carried out merging using different methods, then we trained DPO and SPO using methods, and then we looked at the remaining shortcomings and further trained model, details will come later. We left VAE the same as in SD1 architecture.

🙌 Compatibility. Another goal of the Supple model series is full compatibility with Auto1111 and ComfyUI already at the release stage, the model is fully supported by these interfaces and the diffusers library and does not require adaptation, your usual Sampling methods are also compatible, such as DPM++ 2M Karras, DPM++ SDE and others.

🧐 Today, without demo images (there wasn’t much time), final work is underway on the model and we are already preparing to develop the Medium version, the release of the Small version will most likely be in mid-August or earlier.

😻 Feel free to ask your questions in the comments below the post, we will be happy to answer them, have a nice day!

@Omartificial-Intelligence-Space has trained and released 6 Arabic embedding models for semantic similarity. 4 of them outperform all previous models on the STS17 Arabic-Arabic task!

📚 Trained on a large dataset of 558k Arabic triplets translated from the AllNLI triplet dataset: Omartificial-Intelligence-Space/Arabic-NLi-Triplet
6️⃣ 6 different base models: AraBERT, MarBERT, LaBSE, MiniLM, paraphrase-multilingual-mpnet-base, mpnet-base, ranging from 109M to 471M parameters.
🪆 Trained with a Matryoshka loss, allowing you to truncate embeddings with minimal performance loss: smaller embeddings are faster to compare.
📈 Outperforms all commonly used multilingual models like intfloat/multilingual-e5-large, sentence-transformers/paraphrase-multilingual-mpnet-base-v2, and sentence-transformers/LaBSE.

Check them out here:
- Omartificial-Intelligence-Space/Arabic-mpnet-base-all-nli-triplet
- Omartificial-Intelligence-Space/Arabic-all-nli-triplet-Matryoshka
- Omartificial-Intelligence-Space/Arabert-all-nli-triplet-Matryoshka
- Omartificial-Intelligence-Space/Arabic-labse-Matryoshka
- Omartificial-Intelligence-Space/Marbert-all-nli-triplet-Matryoshka
- Omartificial-Intelligence-Space/Arabic-MiniLM-L12-v2-all-nli-triplet
Or the collection with all: Omartificial-Intelligence-Space/arabic-matryoshka-embedding-models-666f764d3b570f44d7f77d4e

My personal favourite is likely Omartificial-Intelligence-Space/Arabert-all-nli-triplet-Matryoshka: a very efficient 135M parameters & scores #1 on mteb/leaderboard.

🚨Exciting news for the Multilingual Synthetic Data Community!🚨

I’ve taken inspiration from the MAGPIE paper on Llama-3-8B-instruct and extended its capabilities. Here’s what’s new!

🗞 The MAGPIE paper showcased that if you use the instruction-tuned version (Llama-3-8B-instruct) to generate synthetic instructions and then fine-tune the base version (Llama-3-8B) on this dataset, you can improve even the it-tuned version

🤔 While reading a script by Sebastian Raschka, PhD, I wondered: Could these advancements be replicated in other languages? Specifically, could they benefit non-English datasets?

🎉 And the answer is YES! At least for Spanish. I've successfully adapted the techniques for Spanish, proving the model's flexibility and multilingual capabilities.

👩‍💻 To make this accessible, I created a basic script (heavily inspired by the Sebastian Raschka one) that allows you to generate similar datasets using ollama models (initially phi and llama3) automatically and upload it to the Hugging Face Hub!
[Script](https://gist.github.com/mrm8488/4650a5e3cc45523798a527a3446eb312)


🔍 Explore the datasets 📚 generated using our new script!

- [Llama-3-8B](https://huggingface.co./datasets/mrm8488/dataset_llama3_5000_samples_es_4231_filtered)
- [Phi-3-medium](https://huggingface.co./datasets/mrm8488/dataset_phi3-medium_5000_samples_es_3906_filtered)
- [Phi-3-mini](https://huggingface.co./datasets/mrm8488/dataset_phi3_5000_samples_es_3282_filtered)


Note: These datasets have basic filtering. Apply additional quality filters before using them to fine-tune large language models.

🤗 Hello from the Project Fluently team!

🥏 We are ready to announce a new series of Supple Diffusion models, these are new generation diffusion models (about 1-2 weeks left before release).

🦾 The new series aims to take diffusion models to the next level, with performance and versatility as the main goal.

🧐 How will our models be better than others? Firstly, we worked on the CLIP models, now they understand your requests better, it will become easier to process. Secondly, we trained the models with high quality, even better than all our previous ones. Thirdly, you won’t have to keep 20 models on your disk; only 4-6 will be enough.

🗺️ Roadmap:
1. Create Supple Diffusion Small
2. Creating Supple Diffusion Medium
3. Create Supple Diffusion Large

🎆 Our models are universal for realism, and for cartoons, and for anime, and for caricatures.

💖 The project really needs your support and your recommendations and reviews, please do not hesitate to write comments under this post, thank you!

🖼️ Below are demo images made with the pre-release version of Supple Diffusion Small.

🦾 Hello, I present Visionix Alpha - a new hyper-realistic model based on SDXL. The main difference from all existing realism models is the attention to detail, that is, I improved not only hyperrealism, but also the overall aesthetics, anatomy, the beauty of nature, and more, and the model also has the most different faces. This model is suitable not only for realistic photos, but also for generating 2.5d anime, realistic cartoons and more.

🤗 Model on HF: ehristoforu/Visionix-alpha
