Semi-related question I was wondering about recently - how is it that Alibaba has a better consumer-friendly open model (for coding anyway) than research-leading companies like Google?

Well Google could open source Gemini 4 Argon but they choose to release the lower tier models open source instead... Its an active choice they all make.

Isn't the network too shallow to be challenging to decode? One can easily produce few layer network to solve specific goal with construction techniques, so not a surprising result in my view.

What do you mean? Is there prior art? Would you call this a LORA?

My first reaction to your question (rhetorical?) was uncharitable... so, I am curious what you meant that it was "easy."

But that's obvious... Astra is Qwen, if Astra can is because Qwen can....

Hmm. Possibilities for RSI? Big MOE does brain surgery on and invents new expert modules in its catalog?

The question is can a 4b or smaller improve a 0.5b llm, or would it just get caught in a loop

Off topic - anyone had the occasion to work with IBM Watson?

Watson as I understand is a collection of things. What were you I tested in specifically?

Still amazing to me that a model that good, Qwen3.8:27b, runs on a laptop.

Wasn’t this one of the main marketing points for the Inkling model as well?

I wonder if Qwen releases are deliberately nerfed for some reason. It's not the first time an easy reasoning performance win has been found for one.
