Latest Models:
1.ModernBERT: A Better, Faster, and Stronger BERT for the LLM Era
ModernBERT is a cutting-edge BERT-style model pre-trained on 2 trillion tokens of English and code, with a native context length of up to 8,192 tokens. It integrates advanced features like Rotary Positional Embeddings, Local-Global Alternating Attention, and Flash Attention for long-context efficiency and rapid inference.
Available in two sizes—ModernBERT-base (149M parameters) and ModernBERT-large (395M parameters)—it uses an encoder-only architecture, Pre-Norm Transformers, and GeGLU activations, optimized with StableAdamW. While designed for English and code, it lacks token-type IDs and may perform slower with extended 8,192-token contexts. ModernBERT redefines performance and scalability for NLP in the LLM era. ModernBERT can be found on hugging Face.
2. Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking Mode: Advancing AI Reasoning
Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking Mode is an experimental AI model designed to showcase its "thinking process" as part of its responses, enabling enhanced reasoning capabilities compared to the base Gemini 2.0 Flash model. Developed by Google, this innovative model not only answers complex questions but also provides a detailed breakdown of its thought process. According to Google DeepMind's chief scientist, Jeff Dean, Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking Mode leverages these self-expressed thoughts to bolster reasoning while benefiting from the remarkable speed of the Gemini 2.0 Flash architecture.
