This is a super high impact project. There are tons of production models in the real world still running BERT/RoBERTa models from the 2018-2019 era, I'm sincerely hoping these models are easy to finetune, just the 8k context length will be good enough reason to upgrade.
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. 🧵
