BERT models are still amazing for what they do. Even the latest JEV/KEV/SEV/BEV/REV/TREV models can't beat a well-trained BERT.

do you have examples of open weight BERT models from hugging face which are trained for specific use cases?

For these small models, you would fine tune them on your use case. https://huggingface.co/transformers/v4.8.2/training.html
