The AI news recap highlights several key developments: nanoMoE, a PyTorch implementation of a mid-sized Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model inspired by Andrej Karpathy's nanoGPT, enables pretraining on commodity hardware within a week. An agentic leaderboard ranks LLMs powering smolagents CodeAgent, with GPT-4.5 leading, followed by Claude-3.7-Sonnet. Discussions around DeepSeek-R1 emphasize AI model commoditization, with DeepSeek dubbed the "OpenAI of China." Q-Filters offer a training-free method for KV cache compression in autoregressive models, achieving 32x compression with minimal perplexity loss. The PokéChamp minimax language agent, powered by GPT-4o and Llama-3-8b, demonstrates strong performance in Pokémon battles. Other notable models include TinyR1-32B-Preview with Branch-Merge Distillation, R1-Searcher incentivizing search capability via reinforcement learning, and the Forgetting Transformer using a Forget Gate in softmax attention. These advancements reflect ongoing innovation in model architectures, compression, reinforcement learning, and agentic AI.
