dots3-note preview is the first open-weight model in the dots3 family. It is a Mixture-of-Experts model with 280B total parameters, 16B activated parameters, and support for a context length of up to

Qwen just released their first 3.8 model. The main addition in 3.8 is prompt-steered reasoning effort. You can tell the model how deeply to think by setting reasoning_effort to xhigh, medium, or low.

Hey guys, Just finished benchmarking DeepSeek V4 Flash 284B + DSpark on a single RTX PRO 6000 96GB. Short version: DSpark: ~15–17% faster generation on my coding workload On this setup, the DSpark dra

Everything started with the sudden death of my old ASRock J1900. While looking for the perfect ITX replacement, I stumbled upon the Chinese CW-NAS-ADLN-K motherboard, which looked perfect on paper: In

I wanted to find out whether a huge text-only MoE could be given basic vision without retraining the language model itself. The short answer is yes. I froze DeepSeek V4 Flash and a 417M-parameter Moon

We converted the model from the original safetensors and found two issues. The first one made our quantization fail several times, the second one does not fail at all, it just quietly ruins the base 1

Wowee!! Just when you thought it couldn't get better for open weight models, we probably have had our best period yet!?!?! Models that rival the closed frontier, Opus level models on non-insane hardwa

There's an interactive chart and some extra data in the blog post if you're interested. There are plenty of KL-divergence benchmarks for GGUF models, but most of them compare one GGUF quant against an
