So... as far as I understand from this thread, it's basically a finished model (llama or qwen) which is then fine tuned using an unknown dataset? That'd explain the claimed 6M training cost, hiding the fact that the heavy lifting has been made by others (US of A's Meta in this case). Nothing revolutionary to see here, I guess. Small improvements are nice to have, though. I wonder how their smallest models perform, are they any better than llama3.2:8b?
What's revolutionary here is the use of mixture-of-experts approach to get far better performance. While it has 671 billion parameters overall, it only uses 37 billion at a time, making it very efficient. For comparison, Meta’s Llama3.1 uses 405 billion parameters used all at once. It does as well as GPT-4o in the benchmarks, and excels in advanced mathematics and code generation. It also has 128K token context window means it can process and understand very long documents, and processes text at 60 tokens per second, twice as fast as GPT-4o.
