Welcome to my personal page! 🌸 I'm Loubna, a Machine Learning Engineer at Hugging Face. I lead efforts on training small Language Models (SmolLM & SmolLM2) and building pre-training datasets like Cosmopedia and FineWeb-Edu.

Previously, I was a member of the core team behind BigCode, where I worked on The Stack dataset, the largest open dataset of source code, as well as the StarCoder and StarCoder2 family of models.

I hold the MVA master's degree from ENS Paris Saclay (Paris, France) and an engineering degree from École des Mines de Nancy, with a major in Mathematics (Nancy, France).

I'm based in Paris, but I grew up in Morocco, in a small town called Midelt.
