Do you really want a large VLM when dense Qwen3-VL 4B/8B (Instruct/Thinking) with FP8 runs in low VRAM but retains 256K→1M context and the total functionality floor? Alibaba’s Qwen workforce has expanded its multimodal lineup with dense Qwen3-VL models at 4B and 8B scales, every delivery in two job profiles—Instruct and Thinking—plus FP8-quantized checkpoints for…
Microsoft AI launched MAI-Image-1, its first picture era mannequin developed solely in-house at Microsoft. The mannequin has debuted within the Top-10 of the LMArena text-to-image leaderboard (as of Oct 13, 2025). The mannequin is being examined publicly by way of the world to gather neighborhood suggestions and in keeping with Microsoft AI group, it must…
How a lot functionality can a sparse 8.3B-parameter MoE with a ~1.5B lively path ship in your telephone with out blowing latency or reminiscence? Liquid AI has launched LFM2-8B-A1B, a small-scale Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) mannequin constructed for on-device execution underneath tight reminiscence, latency, and vitality budgets. Unlike most MoE work optimized for cloud batch serving, LFM2-8B-A1B…
We will construct a Regression Language Model (RLM), a mannequin that predicts steady numerical values immediately from textual content sequences on this coding implementation. Instead of classifying or producing textual content, we concentrate on coaching a transformer-based structure that learns quantitative relationships hidden inside pure language descriptions. We begin by producing artificial text-to-number information, tokenizing…
Thinking Machines has launched Tinker, a Python API that lets researchers and engineers write coaching loops regionally whereas the platform executes them on managed distributed GPU clusters. The pitch is slim and technical: preserve full management of knowledge, goals, and optimization steps; hand off scheduling, fault tolerance, and multi-node orchestration. The service is in non-public…
ServiceNow AI Research Lab has launched Apriel-1.5-15B-Thinker, a 15-billion-parameter open-weights multimodal reasoning mannequin educated with a data-centric mid-training recipe—continuous pretraining adopted by supervised fine-tuning—with out reinforcement studying or desire optimization. The mannequin attains an Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index rating of 52 with 8x value financial savings in comparison with SOTA. The checkpoint ships underneath an…
OpenAI launched (*2*) a text-to-video-and-audio mannequin centered on bodily plausibility, multi-shot controllability, and synchronized dialogue/SFX. The OpenAI workforce has additionally launched a new invite-only Sora iOS app (U.S. and Canada first) that allows social creation, remixing, and consent-controlled “cameos” for inserting a verified likeness into generated scenes. Model capabilities Sora 2 claims materially higher world…
Local LLMs matured quick in 2025: open-weight households like Llama 3.1 (128K context size (ctx)), Qwen3 (Apache-2.0, dense + MoE), Gemma 2 (9B/27B, 8K ctx), Mixtral 8×7B (Apache-2.0 SMoE), and Phi-4-mini (3.8B, 128K ctx) now ship dependable specs and first-class native runners (GGUF/llama.cpp, LM Studio, Ollama), making on-prem and even laptop computer inference sensible should…
Alibaba’s Qwen group has simply launched FP8-quantized checkpoints for its new Qwen3-Next-80B-A3B fashions in two post-training variants—Instruct and Thinking—aimed toward high-throughput inference with ultra-long context and MoE effectivity. The FP8 repos mirror the BF16 releases however package deal “fine-grained FP8” weights (block measurement 128) and deployment notes for sglang and vLLM nightly builds. Benchmarks within…
In this tutorial, we introduce a Jailbreak Defense that we constructed step-by-step to detect and safely deal with policy-evasion prompts. We generate life like assault and benign examples, craft rule-based alerts, and mix these with TF-IDF options into a compact, interpretable classifier so we will catch evasive prompts with out blocking official requests. We exhibit…
