Small Language Models (SML) are the future of AI. "Small" (SML) instead of "Large" (LLM). These small models are highly specialized models with superhuman abilities on specific tasks. Here are two techniques to build these models: • Spectrum • Model Merging I give you a short introduction in the attached video, but here is a quick summary: Spectrum helps us identify the most relevant layers to solve one specific task. We can ignore everything else and focus on fine-tuning these layers. Using Spectrum, we can fine-tune models in a heartbeat. Model Merging combines multiple models into a unique, much better model than any of the individual input models. You can also combine models specialized in different tasks and get a model with multiple abilities. This is the state of the art of productizing models. It's what Arcee.ai's platform does behind the scenes. Arcee collaborated with me on this post and is sponsoring it. There are three main steps to produce a model for your particular use case: 1. You create a dataset by uploading your data. 2. You train a model. At this step, Arcee uses Spectrum and Model Merging to produce a highly specialized model for your task. 3. You can deploy that model to any environment you want. Three important notes: • Training process is 2x faster and 2x cheaper than regular fine-tuning. • Resultant models are smaller and have higher accuracy. • They create these specialized models from open-source models. Check this site so you can fully appreciate how this works: If you want to fine-tune an open-source model, consider Arcee's platform. This is the state of the art.

New Course: Post-training of LLMs Learn to post-train and customize an LLM in this short course, taught by Banghua Zhu, Assistant Professor at the University of Washington University of Washington, and co-founder of @NexusflowX. Training an LLM to follow instructions or answer questions has two key stages: pre-training and post-training. In pre-training, it learns to predict the next word or token from large amounts of unlabeled text. In post-training, it learns useful behaviors such as following instructions, tool use, and reasoning. Post-training transforms a general-purpose token predictor—trained on trillions of unlabeled text tokens—into an assistant that follows instructions and performs specific tasks. Because it is much cheaper than pre-training, it is practical for many more teams to incorporate post-training methods into their workflows than pre-training. In this course, you’ll learn three common post-training methods—Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT), Direct Preference Optimization (DPO), and Online Reinforcement Learning (RL)—and how to use each one effectively. With SFT, you train the model on pairs of input and ideal output responses. With DPO, you provide both a preferred (chosen) and a less preferred (rejected) response and train the model to favor the preferred output. With RL, the model generates an output, receives a reward score based on human or automated feedback, and updates the model to improve performance. You’ll learn the basic concepts, common use cases, and principles for curating high-quality data for effective training. Through hands-on labs, you’ll download a pre-trained model from Hugging Face and post-train it using SFT, DPO, and RL to see how each technique shapes model behavior. In detail, you’ll: - Understand what post-training is, when to use it, and how it differs from pre-training. - Build an SFT pipeline to turn a base model into an instruct model. - Explore how DPO reshapes behavior by minimizing contrastive loss—penalizing poor responses and reinforcing preferred ones. - Implement a DPO pipeline to change the identity of a chat assistant. - Learn online RL methods such as Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) and Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO), and how to design reward functions. - Train a model with GRPO to improve its math capabilities using a verifiable reward. Post-training is one of the most rapidly developing areas of LLM training. Whether you’re building a high-accuracy context-specific assistant, fine-tuning a model's tone, or improving task-specific accuracy, this course will give you experience with the most important techniques shaping how LLMs are post-trained today.

New short course: DSPy: Build and Optimize Agentic Apps DSPy is a powerful open-source framework for automatically tuning prompts for GenAI applications. In this course, you'll learn to use DSPy, together with MLflow. This is built in partnership with Databricks and taught by Chen Qian, co-lead of the DSPy framework. Many AI builders spend hours hand-tuning prompts. When given a set of evals, DSPy automates this process. It’s especially useful for optimizing prompts, including few-shot prompts, in complex agentic AI workflows. Further, if you switch an application to a newer LLM, performance can degrade if your prompts were optimized to the previous model. DSPy automatically optimizes the entire system for the new LLM as well, using just a few evaluation examples. This course teaches DSPy works, and best practices for using it. You’ll write programs using DSPy’s signature-based programming model, debug them with MLflow tracing -- to gain visibility into how different parts of a pipeline, as well as how the overall system, are performing -- and automatically improve their accuracy with DSPy Optimizer.

Google presents AudioPaLM: A Large Language Model That Can Speak and Listen paper page: introduce AudioPaLM, a large language model for speech understanding and generation. AudioPaLM fuses text-based and speech-based language models, PaLM-2 [Anil et al., 2023] and AudioLM [Borsos et al., 2022], into a unified multimodal architecture that can process and generate text and speech with applications including speech recognition and speech-to-speech translation. AudioPaLM inherits the capability to preserve paralinguistic information such as speaker identity and intonation from AudioLM and the linguistic knowledge present only in text large language models such as PaLM-2. We demonstrate that initializing AudioPaLM with the weights of a text-only large language model improves speech processing, successfully leveraging the larger quantity of text training data used in pretraining to assist with the speech tasks. The resulting model significantly outperforms existing systems for speech translation tasks and has the ability to perform zero-shot speech-to-text translation for many languages for which input/target language combinations were not seen in training. AudioPaLM also demonstrates features of audio language models, such as transferring a voice across languages based on a short spoken prompt.

We developed an RL method for fine-tuning our models for precise tasks in just a few hours or even minutes. Instead of training the whole model, we add an “RL token” output to π-0.6, our latest model, which is used by a tiny actor and critic to learn quickly with RL.

New Course: Reinforcement Fine-Tuning LLMs with GRPO! Learn to use reinforcement learning to improve your LLM performance in this short course, built in collaboration with Predibase by Rubrik, and taught by Travis Addair, its Co-Founder and CTO, and Arnav Garg, its Senior Engineer and Machine Learning Lead. Reasoning models have been one of the most important developments in LLMs. Reinforcement Fine-Tuning (RFT) uses rewards to encourage LLMs to find solutions to multi-step reasoning tasks such as solving math problems and debugging code - without needing pre-existing training examples like in traditional supervised fine-tuning. Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) is a reinforcement fine-tuning algorithm gaining rapid adoption. Developed by the DeepSeek team and used to train the R1 reasoning model, GRPO uses reward functions that you can write in Python to assign rewards to model responses. It’s beneficial for tasks with verifiable outcomes and can work well even with fewer than 100 training examples. It can also significantly improve the reasoning ability of smaller LLMs, making applications faster and more cost effective. In this course, you’ll take a technical deep dive into RFT with GRPO. You’ll learn to build reward functions that you can use in the GRPO training process to guide an LLM toward better performance on multi-step reasoning tasks. In detail, you’ll: - Learn when reinforcement fine-tuning is a better fit than supervised fine-tuning, especially for tasks involving multi-step reasoning or limited labeled data. - Understand how GRPO uses programmable reward functions as a more scalable alternative to the human feedback required for other reinforcement learning algorithms, such as RLHF and DPO. - Frame the Wordle game as a reinforcement fine-tuning problem and see how an LLM can learn to plan, analyze feedback, and improve its strategy over time. - Design reward functions that power the reinforcement fine-tuning process. - Learn techniques for evaluating more subjective tasks, such as rating the quality of a text summary, using an LLM as a judge. - Understand why reward hacking happens and how to avoid it by adding penalty functions to discourage undesirable behaviors. - Learn the four key components of the loss calculation in the GRPO algorithm: token probability distribution ratios, advantages, clipping, and KL-divergence. - Launch reinforcement fine-tuning jobs using Predibase’s hosted training services. By the end of this course, you’ll be able to build and fine-tune LLMs using reinforcement learning to improve reasoning without relying on large labeled datasets or subjective human feedback.

Building with open source lets you control your own data, scrutinize errors, update (or not) the models as you please, and work alongside the global community advancing open models. Llama isn't a single model, it's a collection of models. In this course, you'll: - Learn the differences between different Llama 2 flavors, and when to use each. - Prompt the Llama chat models -- you'll also see how Llama's instruction tags work -- so they can help you with day-to-day tasks, like writing or summarization. - Use advanced prompting, like few-shot prompting for classification, and chain-of-thought prompting for solving logic problems. - Use specialized models in the Llama collection for specific tasks, like Code Llama to help you write, analyze, and improve code, and Llama Guard, which checks prompts and model responses for harmful content. The course also touches on how to run Llama 2 locally on your own computer. I hope you’ll take this course and try out these powerful, open models!

In Prompt Engineering for Vision Models, taught by Abby Jacques Verre and Caleb Kaiser of Comet , you’ll learn how to prompt and fine-tune vision models for personalized image generation, image editing, object detection and segmentation. The prompts you'll use for vision models could be text, point coordinates, or bounding boxes, depending on the model. You'll also learn to tune hyperparameters to shape the output. Models you'll use include Segment-Anything Model (SAM), OWL-ViT, and Stable Diffusion. You'll also learn to fine-tune Stable Diffusion to generate personalized images (say, an image of a specific person), using a handful of images for training. As an example of a multi-step workflow, you'll use OWL-ViT to detect an object based on a text prompt, then pass the bounding box to SAM to create a segmentation mask, and input that mask into Stable Diffusion to replace the original object with a new one based on a text prompt. Controlling vision models can be tricky; this course will teach prompting and fine-tuning techniques to get precise control over their output. Get started here:

LLMs can take gigabytes of memory to store, which limits what can be run on consumer hardware. But quantization can dramatically compress models, making a wider selection of models available to developers. You can often reduce model size by 4x or more while maintaining reasonable performance. In our new short course Quantization Fundamentals taught by Hugging Face's @younesbelkada and Marc Sun, you'll: - Learn how to quantize nearly any open source model - Use int8 and bfloat16 (Brain float 16) data types to load and run LLMs using PyTorch and the Hugging Face Transformers library - Dive into the technical details of linear quantization to map 32-bit floats to 8-bit integers As models get bigger and bigger, quantization becomes more important for making models practical and accessible. Please check out the course here:

New short course: Build Long-Context AI Apps with Jamba. Learn about state space models (SSMs), which have emerged as an alternative to transformers! Specifically, Jamba is a hybrid transformer-Mamba architecture that combines strengths of the transformer with ideas from SSMs. This course is built with AI21 Labs and taught by Chen Wang and Chen Almagor. The transformer architecture is computationally expensive when handling very long input contexts. But there's an alternative called Mamba, a selective state space model that can process very long contexts with a much lower computational cost. However, researchers found that the pure Mamba architecture underperforms in understanding the context, and gives lower-quality responses. To overcome this, AI21 developed the Jamba model, which combines Mamba's computational efficiency with the transformer's attention mechanism to help with the output quality. In this course, you’ll learn about how state space models, and Jamba, work. You’ll also learn how to prompt Jamba, use it to process long documents, and build long-context RAG apps. - Learn how Jamba combines transformer and state space model architectures to achieve high performance and quality - Use the AI21 SDK, with an example of prompting over a large 200k-token annual financial report of Nvidia - Use Jamba for tool-calling, with hands-on examples from calling simple arithmetic calculations to a function that returns quarterly company financial reports. - Learn how training for long context is done, and the metrics used for its evaluation - Create a RAG app using the AI21 Conversational RAG tool and build your own RAG pipeline that uses Jamba and LangChain. By the end of this course, you'll learn how to build applications that can handle context as long as an entire book. Please sign up here:

New Short Course: Getting Structured LLM Output! Learn how to get structured outputs from your LLM applications in this course, built in partnership with .txt, and taught by Will Kurt, a Founding Engineer, and , Developer Relations Engineer. It's challenging for software to automatically parse through an LLM's freeform text outputs. Structured outputs—like JSON—solve this by converting natural language into consistent, clear, data that a machine can read and process. This course teaches you how to generate structured outputs while building several use cases, including a social media analysis agent. You’ll learn about structured outputs and efficient ways to generate outputs in your defined schema or format. You’ll begin by using structured output APIs, then use re-prompting libraries like “instructor” to generate structured output. Finally, you’ll learn how constrained decoding works; this is a very clever technique in which constraints are applied on each subsequent token generated, blocking any tokens that don’t fit your defined schema. In detail, you’ll: - Learn why structured outputs are important, how they allow for scalable software development, and the different approaches to generate them, including vendor-provided APIs, re-prompting libraries, and structured generation. - Build a simple social media agent using OpenAI’s structured output API, learn how to define a model's desired structured output using Pydantic, and perform basic programming with your outputs, such as importing structured data into a data frame using pandas. - Learn how to use the open-source library "instructor," which checks the structured output of the model and re-prompts the model until it validates the desired output, and explore the limitations of this approach. - Understand how structured generation by the “outlines” library works by modifying LLM logits, on a per-generated-token basis based on the desired format, to give a particular output structure. - Learn how regular expressions, which outlines works with, are represented as finite-state machines, and how they can be used to develop a range of structured outputs beyond JSON. By the end of this course, you’ll have broadened your knowledge of the approaches you can use to get structured outputs from your LLM applications. Please sign up here:
