Modern retrievers can perform reasoning internally, yet they benefit from using reasoning traces from LLM! So how does Reason-ModernColBERT perform when used in collaboration with GPT4? Well this time it takes the crown, outperforming ReasonIR-8B and 7B rerankers!

🚀 colpali-engine now supports fast-plaid, a method to drastically speedup the matching operations for LI models! ⚠️This is an experimental feature on main branch for now, and rankings will (slightly) differ. Performance tests on the way. Thanks Raphaël Sourty for the great lib!

Very excited to share the release of BioClinical ModernBERT! Highlights: - biggest and most diverse biomedical and clinical dataset for an encoder - 8192 context - fastest throughput with a variety of inputs - sota results across several tasks - base and large sizes (1/8)

Clinical encoders are joining the ModernBERT family ☺️

🚀Announcing BioClinical ModernBERT, a SOTA encoder for healthcare AI, developed by Thomas Sounack Thomas Sounack for Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in collaboration with Harvard University, LightOn, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), McGill University, Albany Med Health System, Microsoft Research. Seamless continued pre-training enables SOTA

Your daily reminder that fine tuning is just continued pretraining. Super cool results from Antoine Chaffin who is putting this knowledge into practice to improve medical AI:
