Huggingface released "The Ultra-Scale Playbook: Training LLMs on GPU Clusters," an interactive blogpost based on 4000 scaling experiments on up to 512 GPUs, providing detailed insights into modern GPU training strategies. DeepSeek introduced the Native Sparse Attention (NSA) model, gaining significant community attention, while Perplexity AI launched R1-1776, an uncensored and unbiased version of DeepSeek's R1 model. Google DeepMind unveiled PaliGemma 2 Mix, a multi-task vision-language model available in 3B, 10B, and 28B sizes. Microsoft introduced Muse, a generative AI model trained on the game Bleeding Edge, and presented Magma, a foundation model for multimodal AI agents excelling in UI navigation and robotic manipulation. Baichuan-M1-14B was announced as a state-of-the-art medical LLM trained on 20T tokens, and a fully open-source 40B genome modeling model using StripedHyena 2 architecture was also released. "Making your own gaming experience is coming sooner than you'd think," noted in relation to Muse.
