Before Step 3.5 Flash, I've been hearing a lot about ACEStep as being the only open weights competitor to Suno.

>first model that has really broken into the anglosphere.

Do you know of a couple of interesting ones that haven't yet?

doubao (bytedance) seed models are interesting

Keep your eye on Baidu's Ernie https://ernie.baidu.com/

Artificial analysis is generally on top of everything

https://artificialanalysis.ai/leaderboards/models

Those two are really the new players

Nanbeige which they haven't benchmarked just put out a shockingly good 3b model https://huggingface.co/Nanbeige - specifically https://huggingface.co/Nanbeige/Nanbeige4.1-3B

You have to tweak the hyper parameter like they say but I'm getting quality output, commensurate with maybe a 32b model, in exchange for a huge thinking lag

It's the new LFM 2.5

Never heard of Nanbeige, thanks for sharing. "Good" is subjective though, in which tasks can I use it and where to avoid?

it's a 3b model. Fire it up. If you have ollama just do this:

    ollama create nanbeige-custom -f <(curl https://day50.dev/Nanbeige4.1-params.Modelfile)

That has the hyperparameters already in there. Then you can try it out

It's taking up like 2.5GB of ram.

my test query is always "compare rust and go with code samples". I'm telling you, the thinking token count is ... high...

Here's what I got https://day50.dev/rust_v_go.md

I just tried it on a 4gb raspberry pi and a 2012 era x230 with an i5-3210. Worked.

It'll take about 45 minutes on the pi which you know, isn't OOM...so there's that....

Thanks!
