Hugging Face (Twitter) RT @Hesamation: holy shit... Hugging Face cooked again! 🔥 they just dropped a free blog (BOOK) that covers the no-bs reality of building SOTA models. i haven't seen any lab/researcher go into the real decisions behind the LLM research and its nuances. this is literally a gem. Syllabus: → Training compass: why → what → how → Every big model starts with a small ablation → Designing the model architecture → The art of data curation → The training marathon → Beyond base models — post-training in 2025 → Infrastructure - the unsung hero skimming through the blog, this is incredibly detailed just like their ultrascale playbook. i'm gonna read this and share more about it in the coming days.
