My biggest release of the year: a series of 7 specialized embedding models for information retrieval within tax documents, is now available for free on Hugging Face 🤗

These new models aim to offer an open source alternative for in-domain semantic search from large text corpora and will improve RAG systems and context addition for large language models.

Trained on more than 43 million tax tokens derived from semi-synthetic and raw-synthetic data, enriched by various methods (in particular MSFT's evol-instruct by @intfloat ), and corrected by humans, this project is the fruit of hundreds of hours of work and is the culmination of a global effort to open up legal technologies that has only just begun.

A big thank you to Microsoft for Startups for giving me access to state-of-the-art infrastructure to train these models, and to @julien-c , @clem 🤗, @thomwolf and the whole HF team for the inference endpoint API and the generous provision of Meta LLama-3.1-70B. Special thanks also to @tomaarsen for his invaluable advice on training embedding models and Loss functions ❤️

Models are available on my personal HF page, into the Lemone-embed collection: louisbrulenaudet/lemone-embed-66fdc24000df732b395df29b

The Romulus model series has been released on Hugging Face, continually pre-trained on 34,864,949 tokens of French laws and intended to serve as a foundation for fine-tuning on labeled data 🤗

The training code, dataset and model weights are open and available free on HF and the training was based on H100 provided by Microsoft for Startups using Unsloth AI by @danielhanchen and @shimmyshimmer 🦥

Please note that these models have not been aligned for the production of usable texts as they stand, and will certainly need to be refined for the desired tasks in order to produce satisfactory results.
