[New crazy blog post alert] We are releasing an extensive blog post on the science of creating high quality web-scale datasets, detailing all the steps and learnings that came in our recent 15 trillion tokens 🍷FineWeb release
Inspired by the distill.pub interactive graphics papers, we settled to write the most extensive, enjoyable and in-depth tech report we could draft on so prepare for a 45-mmin read with interactive graphics and all.
And it's not all, in this article we also introduce 📚FineWeb-Edu a filtered subset of Common Crawl with 1.3T tokens containing only web pages with very high educational content. Up to our knowledge, FineWeb-Edu out-performs all openly release web-scale datasets by a significant margin on knowledge- and reasoning-intensive benchmarks like MMLU, ARC, and OpenBookQA
We also make a number of surprising observations on the "quality" of the internet it-self which may challenge some of the general assumptions on web data (not saying more, I'll let you draw your conclusions ;)

Is is time for the open-source AI robots revolution 🚀?
With @haixuantao and @Leyo we’ve been playing with a low-cost DJI robot controlled by three local open-source AI models (Whisper, Idefics2, Parler-TTS - all Apache2) and orchestrated by Dora-cs.
Links to find all the hardware/software we used in the demo:
- robot control framework – dora-rs: https://github.com/dora-rs/dora
- speech-to-text model – whisper: openai/whisper-base
- vision-text model – Idefics2: HuggingFaceM4/idefics2-8b-AWQ
- text-to-speech model – ParlerTTS mini: parler-tts/parler_tts_mini_v0.1
- robot: https://dji.com/robomaster-s1
- code gist: https://gist.github.com/haixuanTao/860e1740245dc2c8dd85b496150a9320
- Larger codebase: dora-rs/dora-idefics2
- laptop/pc: any with a recent GPU card (our has a RTX 4090)
Enjoy!

Amazing work Tris and the team!
Griffin is super exciting for efficient/fast inference!

Very interesting model just released by MyShell:
jetmoe/jetmoe-8b . It's a 8B-parameters MoE LLM so 2.2B active parameters, really efficient.
Main characteristics:
- impressive performances for its size (beating meta-llama/Llama-2-7b and huggyllama/llama-13b)
- combine Mixture of Attention heads (MoA) and Mixture of MLP Experts (MoE) – 8 experts with 2 being active for each token
- trained on a rather limited 1.25T tokens from publicly available datasets – training recipe follows the MiniCPM's two-phases training method => first time I see this for a 2B+ model
- $100k to train
- open weights - open sharing of recipes - open dataset - open code => ♡
- still interesting room to improve performances (be it only by training longer)
Links:
- report: https://research.myshell.ai/jetmoe
- model: jetmoe/jetmoe-8b
- code: https://github.com/myshell-ai/JetMoE
Note: I actually detailed all of the MiniCPM schedule, Mixture-of-expert (MoE) and many of the datasets used in this work in my recent little guide to building LLMs in 2024, so feel free to check it out if you want to learn more on these topics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-SPH9hIKT8

A Little guide to building Large Language Models in 2024
This is a post-recording of a 75min lecture I gave two weeks ago on how to train a LLM from scratch in 2024. I tried to keep it short and comprehensive – focusing on concepts that are crucial for training good LLM but often hidden in tech reports.
In the lecture, I introduce the students to all the important concepts/tools/techniques for training good performance LLM:
* finding, preparing and evaluating web scale data
* understanding model parallelism and efficient training
* fine-tuning/aligning models
* fast inference
There is of course many things and details missing and that I should have added to it, don't hesitate to tell me you're most frustrating omission and I'll add it in a future part. In particular I think I'll add more focus on how to filter topics well and extensively and maybe more practical anecdotes and details.
Now that I recorded it I've been thinking this could be part 1 of a two-parts series with a 2nd fully hands-on video on how to run all these steps with some libraries and recipes we've released recently at HF around LLM training (and could be easily adapted to your other framework anyway):

Here is the link to watch the lecture on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-SPH9hIKT8
And here is the link to the Google slides: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1IkzESdOwdmwvPxIELYJi8--K3EZ98_cL6c5ZcLKSyVg/edit#slide=id.p
Enjoy and happy to hear feedback on it and what to add, correct, extend in a second part.
