Doing experiments of synthetic literature with a freshly finetuned llama 8b: Plato's Republic as a film noir works surprisingly well.
Announcing that we are on our way to solve a long standing issue of document processing: correction of OCR mistakes. Pleias publishes the largest dataset to date with automated OCR correction, 1 billion words in English, French, German and Italian huggingface.co/datasets/Ple...

Currently working on an OCR correction model and it accidentally creates hallucinated fiction when the source is *really* noisy.
Small announcement: opening Paid Research Internship opportunities at a startup to train open science LLMs. Profiles could be AI-focused (with some familiarity/experience in open source LLM communities) or data-focused (with a DH background). Based in Paris, full remote possible.
Announcing the release of marginalia, a python library to perform corpus analysis and retrieve structured annotations with open LLMs like Mistral Open-Hermes-2.5. github.com/Pleias/margi...
Am feeling really happy and relieved that 3 days into the new year, and the Big AI News is...copyright-respecting creation of cartoon mice! Courtesy of @dorialexander.bsky.socialhuggingface.co/Pclanglais/M...
We’re on a journey to advance and democratize artificial intelligence through open source and open science.
Happy new year! And happy public domain day with a major new entry: the original design of Mickey Mouse! For the occasion I’m releasing Mickey-1928 a model on Hugging Face that can generate pictures of Mickey, Minnie and Pete from 1928. huggingface.co/Pclanglais/M...
I’m afraid an LLM has been taken hostage by DH people. Situation is very dire: we get to the point where putting the entire pretraining corpus in TEI is explicitly mentioned.
