Developer seeks interest for open-source 9.4B parameter dense LLM

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

An independent developer is seeking community interest for a 9.4 billion parameter dense language model they have developed. The model incorporates advanced techniques like Moonshot's AttnRes modeling and RoPE/NoPE layering, and uses the Llama 3 tokenizer. The developer plans to open-source the code and data, but is encountering licensing issues with Llama 3's tokenizer and synthetic data, prompting a potential shift to the OLMo 3 series. They are looking for users or a datacenter to help train and utilize the model, tentatively named "Budget", beyond a research artifact. AI

IMPACT Potentially offers a new open-source model option for researchers and developers, though its ultimate utility depends on community engagement and further training.

RANK_REASON Developer-led project releasing code and data, not a frontier lab release.
