With @lightonai.bsky.social folks, we collaborated with @answerai.bsky.social (and friends!) to leverage the advances from recent years of work on LLMs (architecture and training) and apply them to a BERT-style model

I am thrilled to announce the release of ModernBERT, the long-awaited BERT replacement!

There might be a few LLM releases per week, but there is only one drop-in replacement that brings Pareto improvements over the 6 years old BERT while going at lightspeed
