Baidu ERNIE 5.1 beats DeepSeek on the hardest agent math tasks with tools, competes with Claude and Gemini, and was trained at only 6% of the usual budget. It sits in the global top tier on agents, math, knowledge, and search while cutting total parameters to about a third and active parameters to half. They … Read more
Zaya1 8B is an open-source 8.4 billion parameter Mixture-of-Experts model with only 760 million active parameters per token, trained entirely on AMD hardware, and it posts results that beat some much larger systems on hard math and reasoning. In head-to-head claims, it outperforms Claude 4.5 Sonnet and Gemini 2.5 Pro on hard evaluations, stays competitive … Read more
The official DFlash drafter from Z-Lab is out, paired with the Gemma 26B A4B MoE model from Google, and it delivers a big boost in throughput without hurting quality. On an H100 80 GB, I saw 222.3 tokens per second with a mean acceptance length of 7.8 and roughly a 3.4 times speedup over autoregressive … Read more
