🎭 Your know-how comes in many forms, scattered across countless formats. 💡 What if the insight you seek - hidden in PDFs, PPTXs, XLSXs, PNGs, and JPEGs - was just one question away? This isn’t just multimodal search, it’s enterprise intelligence — activated

I am thrilled to announce the release of ModernBERT, the long-awaited BERT replacement! There might be a few LLM releases per week, but there is only one drop-in replacement that brings Pareto improvements over the 6 years old BERT while going at lightspeed

This type of thing happens all the time when training foundation models. It is neither catastrophic nor major. which brings us to the most important question: why would someone make a big deal out of it?
