Best model <3B for multilingual understanding/ instruction following?
I know qwen 3.5 4b is great but a bit too large and miniPCM5 1b is great for agentic use but not so great for multilingual natural language understanding. Google eXb variants are just too big in total
I know qwen 3.5 4b is great but a bit too large and miniPCM5 1b is great for agentic use but not so great for multilingual natural language understanding. Google eXb variants are just too big in total params. Anybody know of something very small but powerful for understanding language specifically? No code or agentic work submitted by /u/StupidScaredSquirrel [link] [comments]
