Open-weight LLMs enable local data preparation.
This approach addresses governance requirements that prohibit data transmission to external services, making it suitable for research using personal data. The framework includes a curated dataset and automated evaluation routines.
PATS reframes skills as dynamic training scaffolds.
PATS converts rollout groups into evidence cards and adjusts context for subsequent rollouts, providing concrete guidance for weak policies. This approach improves exploration and policy optimization.
KroQuant enables efficient post-training quantization.
KroQuant addresses the issue of outliers in activations, which cannot be represented by 4-bit formats. It applies an invertible linear transform to activations and weights, reducing inference computation cost.
Nunchaku 4-bit diffusion inference is available.
This release brings Nunchaku 4-bit diffusion inference to the Diffusers library, enabling efficient and accurate inference.
Echo combines open-weight models for better results.
Echo is an experiment in combining open-weight models to achieve better results than individual models. It measures the performance of a hypothetical system that knows which models are useful for each task.
