NOT ON THE CURRENT EDITION
This blip is not on the current edition of the Radar. If it was on one of the last few editions, it is likely that it is still relevant. If the blip is older, it might no longer be relevant and our assessment might be different today. Unfortunately, we simply don't have the bandwidth to continuously review blips from previous editions of the Radar.

The successor to BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers), ModernBERT is a next-generation family of encoder-only transformer models designed for a wide range of natural language processing (NLP) tasks. As a drop-in replacement, ModernBERT improves both performance and accuracy while addressing some of BERT's limitations — notably including support for dramatically longer context lengths thanks to Alternating Attention. Teams with NLP needs should consider ModernBERT before defaulting to a general-purpose generative model.
