Lighton explore les nouveaux champs de l'IA - 24/03 VIDÉO - Ce mardi 24 mars, Igor Carron, PDG et co-fondateur de Lighton, s'est penché sur la place de Lighton dans la chaîne de valeur de l'IA, et la reprise du contrôle sur la recherche avec l'IA, dans...

🎙️ "Il faut penser l'IA comme une infrastructure ancrée dans la réalité documentaire des organisations, et non plus comme une application ex machina."

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.

🤝 LightOn & NVIDIA Make Private AI Massively Accessible

NVIDIA announced at #AdoptAI the LightOn platform validation on NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs, bringing sovereign, high-performance Private AI directly to operational environments.

Beyond Shadow AI: Private RAG as the Foundation of Enterprise AI Adoption - LightOn The Era of

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.

Beyond Shadow AI: Private RAG as the Foundation of Enterprise AI Adoption - LightOn The Era of

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.

🏆 LightOn has been awarded IPO of the Year in the small & mid-cap category at the EuroNext Awards!

Going public was a strategic move to accelerate our growth while keeping control over our mission: to build sovereign AI for Enterprises!

Challenging the Quantum Advantage Frontier with Large-Scale Classical Simulations of Annealing Dynamics Recent demonstrations of D-Wave's annealing-based quantum simulators have established new benchmarks for quantum computational advantage [arXiv:2403.00910]. However, the precise location of the classi...

How neural networks learns simple functions? YouTube video by Simons Institute

Next was an interesting talk by @krzakalaf.bsky.social on how neural networks learn simple functions at the Simons Institute www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfDe... (5/7)

Ça me rappelle quelque chose que j'ai vu il y a quelques années, non, @ylecun.bsky.social ?

Excellent article full of if easy-to-read insights on modern transformers.

And also, hurray for ModernBERT; it seems very useful for text processing. Thanks!!

Congratulations to @nohtow.bsky.social, Oskar Hallström, Said Taghadouini, Iacopo Poli and all the folks at Answer.ai that made this model a reality.

Today, LightOn releases ModernBERT, a SOTA model for retrieval and classification.

This work was performed in collaboration with Answer.ai and the model was trained on Orange Business Cloud Avenue infrastructure.

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. 🧵
