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

📣 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.

My biggest release of the year: a series of 7 specialized embedding models for information retrieval within tax documents, is now available for free on Hugging Face 🤗
These new models aim to offer an open source alternative for in-domain semantic search from large text corpora and will improve RAG systems and context addition for large language models.
Trained on more than 43 million tax tokens derived from semi-synthetic and raw-synthetic data, enriched by various methods (in particular MSFT's evol-instruct by @intfloat ), and corrected by humans, this project is the fruit of hundreds of hours of work and is the culmination of a global effort to open up legal technologies that has only just begun.
A big thank you to Microsoft for Startups for giving me access to state-of-the-art infrastructure to train these models, and to @julien-c , @clem 🤗, @thomwolf and the whole HF team for the inference endpoint API and the generous provision of Meta LLama-3.1-70B. Special thanks also to @tomaarsen for his invaluable advice on training embedding models and Loss functions ❤️
Models are available on my personal HF page, into the Lemone-embed collection: louisbrulenaudet/lemone-embed-66fdc24000df732b395df29b

#phdone - I defended my PhD yesterday! A key lesson: it is amazing how open science and open source can empower beginners with limited resources:
I first learned about instruction-based classifiers like BERT-NLI 3-4 years ago, through the @HuggingFace ZeroShotClassificationPipeline. Digging deeper into this, it was surprisingly easy to find new datasets, newer base models, and reusable fine-tuning scripts on the HF Hub to create my own zeroshot models - although I didn't know much about fine-tuning at the time.
Thanks to the community effect of the Hub, my models were downloaded hundreds of thousands of times after a few months. Seeing my research being useful for people motivated me to improve and upload newer models. Leaving my contact details in the model cards led to academic cooperation and consulting contracts (and eventually my job at HF).
That's the power of open science & open source: learning, sharing, improving, collaborating.
I mean every word in my thesis acknowledgments (screenshot). I'm very grateful to my supervisors @vanatteveldt @CasAndreu @KasperWelbers for their guidance; to @profAndreaRenda and @CEPS_thinktank for enabling me to work part-time during the first year; to @huggingface for creating awesome tools and an awesome platform; and to many others who are not active on social media.
Links to the full thesis and the collection of my most recent models are below.
PS: If someone happens to speak Latin, let me know if my diploma contains some hidden Illuminati code or something :D

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.
🔓 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.

🚀 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.

@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:

Announcing the creation of the "HF for Legal" organization, an open-source community dedicated to demystifying language models for legal professionals 🤗
Whether you're a practicing attorney, a legal scholar, or a technologist interested in legal applications of AI, HF for Legal may be your hub for exploration, learning, and free innovation ⚗️
On the occasion of this launch, you'll be able to find several notebooks I've been developing over the last few months for TSDAE pre-training of embedding models, the generation of indexes for semantic search, based on the formidable work of @tomaarsen and @nreimers , adapted to the field of French law, or the addition of information retrieval tasks to the MTEB.
Join us in our mission to make AI more accessible and understandable for the legal world, ensuring that the power of language models can be harnessed effectively and ethically.
Link to the org: https://huggingface.co/HFforLegal
Special thanks to @clem for encouraging me to start this organization. Let's hope we can bring together all the enthusiasts who work in this field.
Let's code and share together! 🚀🔗

The most widely used French NER models on HF (
Jean-Baptiste/camembert-ner and
cmarkea/distilcamembert-base-ner) are trained on a single dataset (WikiNER) which on the one hand contains leaks and therefore distorts the true results of these models, and on the other hand overspecializes them in a particular domain (= texts from Wikipedia). They are also only available in a base version (110M parameters).
That's why I've trained new NER models in French both on more data (x3), as well as in base and large versions (336M). They are available in 3 entities (PER, ORG, LOC) or 4 entities (PER, ORG, LOC, MISC):
- CATIE-AQ/NERmembert-base-4entities
- CATIE-AQ/NERmembert-large-4entities
- CATIE-AQ/NERmembert-base-3entities
- CATIE-AQ/NERmembert-large-3entities
Datasets without leaks are also available:
- CATIE-AQ/frenchNER_4entities
- CATIE-AQ/frenchNER_3entities

Today is a huge day in Argilla’s history. We couldn’t be more excited to share this with the community: we’re joining Hugging Face!
We’re embracing a larger mission, becoming part of a brilliant and kind team and a shared vision about the future of AI.
Over the past year, we’ve been collaborating with Hugging Face on countless projects: launching partner of Docker Spaces, empowering the community to clean Alpaca translations into Spanish and other languages, launching argilla/notus-7b-v1 building on Zephyr’s learnings, the Data is Better Together initiative with hundreds of community contributors, or releasing argilla/OpenHermesPreferences, one of the largest open preference tuning datasets
After more than 2,000 Slack messages and over 60 people collaborating for over a year, it already felt like we were part of the same team, pushing in the same direction. After a week of the smoothest transition you can imagine, we’re now the same team.
To those of you who’ve been following us, this won’t be a huge surprise, but it will be a big deal in the coming months. This acquisition means we’ll double down on empowering the community to build and collaborate on high quality datasets, we’ll bring full support for multimodal datasets, and we’ll be in a better place to collaborate with the Open Source AI community. For enterprises, this means that the Enterprise Hub will unlock highly requested features like single sign-on and integration with Inference Endpoints.
As a founder, I am proud of the Argilla team. We're now part of something bigger and a larger team but with the same values, culture, and goals. Grateful to have shared this journey with my beloved co-founders Paco and Amélie.
Finally, huge thanks to the Chief Llama Officer @osanseviero for sparking this and being such a great partner during the acquisition process.
Would love to answer any questions you have so feel free to add them below!
