ModernBERT is all you (really) need
Hello 👋 !
medium.com
Just wrote about fine-tuning ModernBERT.
When choosing a model, don't chase the latest trend.
For many practical, domain-specific challenges, fine-tuning strong, proven models isn’t just sufficient, it's exactly what you need.

An LLM is NOT a search engine. It cannot tell the difference between accurate and inaccurate, fact and fiction. It just provides the algorithmically most likely next word.
And it was trained on stolen work. AND it is terrible for the environment.

Some data breaches include novel information about us, are the result of particularly noteworthy security flaws, or are just so massive they’re impossible to ignore. Here’s EFF’s list of some of the most egregious data breaches of 2024.
The Breachies 2024: The Worst, Weirdest, Most Impactful Data Breaches of the Year
Privacy isn’t dead. While some information about you is almost certainly out there, that’s no reason for despair. In fact, it’s a good reason to take action.

Has the debate on which is more performant for Named Entity Recognition—hashtag#LLMs or more traditional approaches (hmm, spaCy, I’m looking at you)—been settled?
Any relevant, recent paper on this matter?

While reading "Geopolitica dell'Intelligenza Artificiale" by Alessandro Aresu (which I hope will soon be available to the English-speaking market), I came across the incredible story of Angelo Dalle Molle, known primarily as the inventor of Cynar liquor.

It is pretty fun “starting over” on a new social media platform.
Feels new and fresh, after X having felt nothing but draining for the past year.
