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
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
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

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.

Good folks at
@nvidia
have released exciting new research on normalized Transformers (nGPT) for faster and more efficient language modeling!
Here is what they are proposing:
1. Remove all normalization layers, like RMSNorm or LayerNorm, from the standard Transformer architecture.
2. Normalize all matrices along their embedding dimension after each training step. This includes input and output embeddings, attention matrices (Q, K, V), output projection matrices, and MLP matrices.
3. Replace the standard residual connections with normalized update equations using learnable eigen learning rates for the attention and MLP blocks.
4. Change the softmax scaling factor in the attention mechanism from 1/sqrt of d_k to sqrt of d_k.
5. Implement rescaling and optional normalization of query (q) and key (k) vectors in the attention mechanism using learnable scaling factors.
6. Rescale the intermediate states of the MLP block using learnable scaling factors.
7. Implement rescaling of the output logits using learnable scaling factors.
8. Remove weight decay and learning rate warmup from the optimization process.
9. Initialize the eigen learning rates and scaling factors with appropriate values as specified in the paper.
10. During training, treat all vectors and matrices as residing on a unit hypersphere, interpreting matrix-vector multiplications as cosine similarities.
11. Implement the update equations for the hidden states using the normalized outputs from attention and MLP blocks, controlled by the eigen learning rates.
12. After each forward pass, normalize all parameter matrices to ensure they remain on the unit hypersphere.
13. Use the Adam optimizer without weight decay for training the model.
14. When computing loss, apply the learnable scaling factor to the logits before the softmax operation.
15. During inference, follow the same normalization and scaling procedures as in training.
Excited to see how it scales to larger models and datasets!

Tencent released a new depth model that generates temporally consistent depth maps over videos ⏯️
Model: tencent/DepthCrafter
Demo: tencent/DepthCrafter
Paper: DepthCrafter: Generating Consistent Long Depth Sequences for Open-world Videos (2409.02095)
You don't need to input anything other than video itself, no need for optical flow or camera poses! 🤩

🚨 We’ve just released a new tool to compare the performance of models in the 🤗 Open LLM Leaderboard: the Comparator 🎉
open-llm-leaderboard/comparator
Want to see how two different versions of LLaMA stack up? Let’s walk through a step-by-step comparison of LLaMA-3.1 and LLaMA-3.2. 🦙🧵👇
1/ Load the Models' Results
- Go to the 🤗 Open LLM Leaderboard Comparator: open-llm-leaderboard/comparator
- Search for "LLaMA-3.1" and "LLaMA-3.2" in the model dropdowns.
- Press the Load button. Ready to dive into the results!
2/ Compare Metric Results in the Results Tab 📊
- Head over to the Results tab.
- Here, you’ll see the performance metrics for each model, beautifully color-coded using a gradient to highlight performance differences: greener is better! 🌟
- Want to focus on a specific task? Use the Task filter to hone in on comparisons for tasks like BBH or MMLU-Pro.
3/ Check Config Alignment in the Configs Tab ⚙️
- To ensure you’re comparing apples to apples, head to the Configs tab.
- Review both models’ evaluation configurations, such as metrics, datasets, prompts, few-shot configs...
- If something looks off, it’s good to know before drawing conclusions! ✅
4/ Compare Predictions by Sample in the Details Tab 🔍
- Curious about how each model responds to specific inputs? The Details tab is your go-to!
- Select a Task (e.g., MuSR) and then a Subtask (e.g., Murder Mystery) and then press the Load Details button.
- Check out the side-by-side predictions and dive into the nuances of each model’s outputs.
5/ With this tool, it’s never been easier to explore how small changes between model versions affect performance on a wide range of tasks. Whether you’re a researcher or enthusiast, you can instantly visualize improvements and dive into detailed comparisons.
🚀 Try the 🤗 Open LLM Leaderboard Comparator now and take your model evaluations to the next level!

By far the coolest release of the day!
> The Open LLM Leaderboard, most comprehensive suite for comparing Open LLMs on many benchmarks, just released a comparator tool that lets you dig into the detail of differences between any models.
Here's me checking how the new Llama-3.1-Nemotron-70B that we've heard so much compares to the original Llama-3.1-70B. 🤔🔎
Try it out here 👉 open-llm-leaderboard/comparator

Microsoft released a method that allows you to vectorize word vectors themselves! It is called VPTQ. You can check out their full paper including the method and all of the math for the algorithm, or you can watch this video where I did all of that for you, then reconstructed their entire method within Python!

📣 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
🔒 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
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.
