Google just dropped an exciting technical report for the brand-new Gemma3 model! πŸš€ Here are my personal notes highlighting the most intriguing architectural innovations, design choices, and insights from this release:

1) Architecture choices:
> No more softcaping, replace by QK-Norm
> Both Pre AND Post Norm
> Wider MLP than Qwen2.5, ~ same depth
> SWA with 5:1 and 1024 (very small and cool ablation on the paper!)
> No MLA to save KV cache, SWA do the job!

2) Long context
> Only increase the rope in the global layer (to 1M)
> Confirmation that it's harder to do long context for smol models, no 128k for the 1B
> Pretrained with 32k context? seems very high
> No yarn nor llama3 like rope extension

3) Distillation
> Only keep te first 256 logits for the teacher
> Ablation on the teacher gap (tl;dr you need some "patience" to see that using a small teacher is better)
> On policy distillation yeahh (by
@agarwl_
et al), not sure if the teacher gap behave the same here, curious if someone have more info?

4) Others
> Checkpoint with QAT, that's very cool
> RL using improve version of BOND, WARM/WARP good excuse to look at
@ramealexandre
papers
> Only use Zero3, no TP/PP if i understand correctly ?
> Training budget relatively similar than gemma2

Introducing πŸ“π…π’π§πžπŒπšπ­π‘: the best public math pre-training dataset with 50B+ tokens!
HuggingFaceTB/finemath

Math remains challenging for LLMs and by training on FineMath we see considerable gains over other math datasets, especially on GSM8K and MATH.

We build the dataset by:
πŸ› οΈ carefully extracting math data from Common Crawl;
πŸ”Ž iteratively filtering and recalling high quality math pages using a classifier trained on synthetic annotations to identify math reasoning and deduction.

We conducted a series of ablations comparing the performance of Llama-3.2-3B-Base after continued pre-training on FineMath and observe notable gains compared to the baseline model and other public math datasets.

We hope this helps advance the performance of LLMs on math and reasoning! πŸš€
We’re also releasing all the ablation models as well as the evaluation code.

Making SmolLM2 reproducible: open-sourcing our training & evaluation toolkit πŸ› οΈ https://github.com/huggingface/smollm/

- Pre-training code with nanotron
- Evaluation suite with lighteval
- Synthetic data generation using distilabel (powers our new SFT dataset HuggingFaceTB/smoltalk)
- Post-training scripts with TRL & the alignment handbook
- On-device tools with llama.cpp for summarization, rewriting & agents

Apache 2.0 licensed. V2 pre-training data mix coming soon!

Which other tools should we add next?
