The AI race continues, and several interesting products were introduced this week/last week.
What I liked the most:
The image generator called Reve (https://preview.reve.art/app)
, which gives out 100 free credits for 100 images. On the Image Generation Arena (https://artificialanalysis.ai/text-to-image/arena)
, this model is currently making its way to the top; I tried it out and got what seems like pretty good results (see the attached image in the post).
The team from Featherless AI trained a model on just 8 MI300 GPUs called Qwerky-72B (https://huggingface.co/featherless-ai/Qwerky-72B).
They claim that its score is approaching that of the 4o-mini, all thanks to RWKV linear scaling. The full post can be found here: (https://substack.recursal.ai/p/qwerky-72b-and-32b-training-large).
Their next step is to make the open-source models from DeepSeek 100 times more efficient - exciting developments are awaited!
