This article gives you the behind-the-scenes of how we made an efficient inference server that powers bloom. inference server that powers https://huggingface.co/bigscience/bloom. We achieved a 5x latency reduction over several weeks (and 50x more throughput). We wanted to share all the struggles and epic wins we went through to achieve such speed improvements. A lot of different people were involved    

🤗 Hugging Face Diffusers supports Flax since version 0.5.1! This allows for super fast inference on Google TPUs, such as those available in Colab, Kaggle or Google    

MTEB is a massive benchmark for measuring the performance of text embedding models on diverse embedding tasks. The 🥇 leaderboard provides a holistic view of the best text embedding models out there on a variety of tasks. The 📝 paper gives background on the tasks and datasets in MTEB and analyzes leaderboard results! The 💻 Github    

This tutorial assumes you have a basic understanding of PyTorch and how to train a simple model. It will showcase training on multiple GPUs through a process called Distributed Data Parallelism (DDP) through three different levels of increasing abstraction: Native PyTorch DDP through the pytorch.distributed module Utilizing 🤗 Accelerate’s light wrapper around pytorch.distributed that also helps ensure the code can be run    

While the size and capabilities of large language models have drastically increased over the past couple of years, so too has the concern around biases imprinted into these models and their training data. In fact, many popular language models have been found to be biased against specific religions and genders, which can result in the promotion of discriminatory ideas and the perpetuation of harms against marginalized groups. To help the community explore these kinds of biases and strengthen our understanding […]

Last July, we announced that Intel and Hugging Face would collaborate on building state-of-the-art yet simple hardware acceleration tools for Transformer models. ​ Today, we are very happy to announce that we added    

In this blog, we present a step-by-step guide on fine-tuning Whisper for any multilingual ASR dataset using Hugging Face 🤗 Transformers. This blog provides in-depth explanations of the Whisper model, the Common Voice dataset and the theory behind fine-tuning, with accompanying code cells to execute the data preparation and fine-tuning steps. For a more    

Dreambooth is a technique to teach new concepts to Stable Diffusion using a specialized form of fine-tuning. Some people have been using it with a few of their photos to place themselves in fantastic situations, while others are using it to incorporate new styles. 🧨 Diffusers provides a Dreambooth training script. It doesn’t take long to train, but it’s hard to select the right set of hyperparameters and it’s easy to overfit. We conducted a lot of experiments to analyze […]
