I was initially pretty sceptical about Meta's Coconut paper [1] because the largest perf gains were reported on toy linguistic problems. However, these results on machine translation are pretty impressive!

Together with the recent PRIME method [2] for scaling RL, reasoning for open models is looking pretty exciting for 2025!

This paper (
HuatuoGPT-o1, Towards Medical Complex Reasoning with LLMs (2412.18925)) has a really interesting recipe for inducing o1-like behaviour in Llama models:
* Iteratively sample CoTs from the model, using a mix of different search strategies. This gives you something like Stream of Search via prompting.
* Verify correctness of each CoT using GPT-4o (needed because exact match doesn't work well in medicine where there are lots of aliases)
* Use GPT-4o to reformat the concatenated CoTs into a single stream that includes smooth transitions like "hmm, wait" etc that one sees in o1
* Use the resulting data for SFT & RL
* Use sparse rewards from GPT-4o to guide RL training. They find RL gives an average ~3 point boost across medical benchmarks and SFT on this data already gives a strong improvement.
Applying this strategy to other domains could be quite promising, provided the training data can be formulated with verifiable problems!

We outperform Llama 70B with Llama 3B on hard math by scaling test-time compute 🔥
How? By combining step-wise reward models with tree search algorithms :)
We show that smol models can match or exceed the performance of their much larger siblings when given enough "time to think"
We're open sourcing the full recipe and sharing a detailed blog post.
In our blog post we cover:
📈 Compute-optimal scaling: How we implemented DeepMind's recipe to boost the mathematical capabilities of open models at test-time.
🎄 Diverse Verifier Tree Search (DVTS): An unpublished extension we developed to the verifier-guided tree search technique. This simple yet effective method improves diversity and delivers better performance, particularly at large test-time compute budgets.
🧭 Search and Learn: A lightweight toolkit for implementing search strategies with LLMs and built for speed with vLLM
Here's the links:

Enjoy!

We are proud to announce
HuggingFaceFW/fineweb-2: A sparkling update to
HuggingFaceFW/fineweb with 1000s of 🗣️languages.
We applied the same data-driven approach that led to SOTA English performance in🍷 FineWeb to thousands of languages.
🥂 FineWeb2 has 8TB of compressed text data and outperforms other multilingual datasets in our experiments.
The dataset is released under the permissive 📜 ODC-By 1.0 license, and the 💻 code to reproduce it and our evaluations is public.
We will very soon announce a big community project, and are working on a 📝 blogpost walking you through the entire dataset creation process. Stay tuned!
In the mean time come ask us question on our chat place: HuggingFaceFW/discussion
H/t @guipenedo @hynky @lvwerra as well as @vsabolcec Bettina Messmer @negar-foroutan and @mjaggi

Interesting long read from
@evanmiller-anthropic
on having a better founded statistical approach to Language Model Evaluations:

How do I test an LLM for my unique needs?
If you work in finance, law, or medicine, generic benchmarks are not enough.
This blog post uses Argilla, Distilllabel and 🌤️Lighteval to generate evaluation dataset and evaluate models.

🚨 How green is your model? 🌱 Introducing a new feature in the Comparator tool: Environmental Impact for responsible #LLM research!
👉 open-llm-leaderboard/comparator
Now, you can not only compare models by performance, but also by their environmental footprint!
🌍 The Comparator calculates CO₂ emissions during evaluation and shows key model characteristics: evaluation score, number of parameters, architecture, precision, type... 🛠️
Make informed decisions about your model's impact on the planet and join the movement towards greener AI!
