i14 releases the Laplace 3B linear attention model: inference with fixed-state memory, implemented on AWS Trainium2 and native PyTorch.

i14 has launched the Laplace 3B model with 3.028 billion parameters, which replaces Softmax attention with Gated Linear Attention (GLA). During inference, its per-sequence recursive state remains constant at 29.5 MB, independent of context length. The model was trained and validated on a single AWS trn2.48xlarge instance (equipped with 16 Trainium 2 chips), achieving a training throughput of 120,000 tokens per second and an inference throughput of 11,544 output tokens per second (with 1,280 concurrent sequences). All performance metrics are based on internal measurements conducted by i14 and the AWS GenAIIC team.

Qwen2.5: A Party of Foundation Models!

GITHUB HUGGING FACE MODELSCOPE DEMO DISCORD Introduction In the past three months since Qwen2’s release, numerous developers have built new models on the Qwen2 language models, providing us with valuable feedback. During this period, we have focused on creating smarter and more knowledgeable language models. Today, we are excited to introduce the latest addition to the Qwen family: Qwen2.5. We are announcing what might be the largest opensource release in history!

Hello Qwen2

GITHUB HUGGING FACE MODELSCOPE DEMO DISCORD Introduction After months of efforts, we are pleased to announce the evolution from Qwen1.5 to Qwen2. This time, we bring to you: Pretrained and instruction-tuned models of 5 sizes, including Qwen2-0.5B, Qwen2-1.5B, Qwen2-7B, Qwen2-57B-A14B, and Qwen2-72B; Having been trained on data in 27 additional languages besides English and Chinese; State-of-the-art performance in a large number of benchmark evaluations; Significantly improved performance in coding and mathematics; Extended context length support up to 128K tokens with Qwen2-7B-Instruct and Qwen2-72B-Instruct.
