I've collaborated quite closely with the PyLate authors over the last months, as PyLate relies heavily on Sentence Transformers. This is very strong work, definitely worth checking out! Kudos to @nohtow.bsky.social, Luca Arnaboldi, @amelietabatta.bsky.social and @krzakalaf.bsky.social.

By going beyond raw model performance, private RAG provides enterprise-grade AI grounded in internal data, confidentiality constraints, and trusted usage. This is the challenge LightOn addresses. 👉 Read more in our latest post: www.lighton.ai/lighton-blog...

Shadow AI is more than a governance issue. It’s a signal of unmet enterprise AI needs. 🧩 Every prompt shared with public AI systems is a request for performance, context, and usability.

6 years after BERT, we have a replacement: ModernBERT! @answerdotai, @LightOnIO (et al) took dozens of advances from recent years of work on LLMs, and applied them to a BERT-style model, including updates to the architecture and the training process, eg alternating attention.

I'll get straight to the point. We trained 2 new models. Like BERT, but modern. ModernBERT. Not some hypey GenAI thing, but a proper workhorse model, for retrieval, classification, etc. Real practical stuff. It's much faster, more accurate, longer context, and more useful. 🧵
