Teknium released Nous Hermes 2 on Yi 34B, positioning it as a top open model compared to Mixtral, DeepSeek, and Qwen. Apple introduced Ferret, a new open-source multimodal LLM. Discussions in the Nous Research AI Discord focused on AI model optimization and quantization techniques like AWQ, GPTQ, and AutoAWQ, with insights on proprietary optimization and throughput metrics. Additional highlights include the addition of NucleusX Model to transformers, a 30B model with 80 MMLU, and the YAYI 2 language model by Wenge Technology trained on 2.65 trillion tokens. "AutoAWQ outperforms vLLM up to batch size 8" was noted, and proprietary parallel decoding and tensor parallelization across GPUs were discussed for speed improvements.
