    Shanghai AI Lab Open-Sources Intern-Decision Small Models for Structured Decisions

    AIShanghai AI Lab has open-sourced Intern-Decision, a family of 0.8B, 2B and 4B parameter models that return structured decisions with probabilities instead of free text. The developers self-report that the 4B model averages 90.02% accuracy across seven test suites, ahead of a commercial reference model at 88.74%, with about 44 milliseconds of local latency on a single RTX 4090. Weights are on Hugging Face, and MetaX says the models run on its hardware from launch.

    Xiaomi releases open-source MiMo-V2.5-ASR speech recognition model with dialect support

    AIXiaomi MiMo has released MiMo-V2.5-ASR, an open-source speech recognition model that the company says achieves state-of-the-art results across multiple benchmarks. The model supports bilingual Chinese–English recognition, Chinese dialects such as Wu, Cantonese, Hokkien, and Sichuanese, code-switching, and lyrics transcription. It is also designed to handle noisy environments and multi-speaker conversations.

    JetBrains releases Mellum2.1, a 12B MoE open model for coding agents

    AIJetBrains has released Mellum2.1, a 12B mixture-of-experts thinking model with 2.5B active parameters, under Apache 2.0 on Hugging Face. Post-training reinforcement learning in real software repositories raised SWE-bench Verified from 2.0 to 47.0, according to JetBrains' self-reported results. Qwen3.5-9B still leads on SWE-bench Pro, GPQA Diamond and AIME, and GGUF builds start at 7.0 GB for local use.

    Carbon-A open model and database predict 566 million gene candidates across 22,617 species

    AICarbon-A is an open model that predicts gene locations directly from DNA, and it has been used to annotate genomes from over 22,000 species. The release includes a database of 566 million gene candidates, about 16 times the gene annotations in the RefSeq dataset. Wet-lab RNA experiments supported 239 candidates missing from RefSeq across cats, Syrian hamsters, chickens, and Arabidopsis.

    Why it matters: The source ties an open gene-annotation model to specific wet-lab checks and gene counts, helping readers judge how far its predictions extend beyond well-studied genomes.

    Carbon-A open model finds 566 million candidate genes across 22,617 species

    AIThe team released Carbon-A, an open model that finds genes directly in DNA, along with a database of 566.34 million candidate genes across 22,617 species. The model reads genomes without needing a close relative, and wet-lab validation in cats, chickens, and arabidopsis is cited, with 239 genes found missing from reference annotations of common species. The authors say the model marks gene locations but does not design DNA or predict gene function.

    JetBrains releases Mellum2.1, an open coding model trained with reinforcement learning

    AIJetBrains released Mellum2.1, a 12B mixture-of-experts model with 2.5B active parameters under the Apache 2.0 license, built for coding agents. Post-training shifted to reinforcement learning across thousands of environments and millions of sandboxed runs, and the model is available on Hugging Face. The source reports gains over Mellum2 on LiveCodeBench, AIME, GPQA Diamond, BFCL v4, IFEval, and SWE-bench Verified, and says it serves almost twice the tokens of Qwen3.5-9B under heavy load.

    Why it matters: The post shows how reinforcement learning in real sandboxed environments changed a compact open model's repository work, with benchmark gains against Mellum2 and two peers.

    Mistral releases Le Chonk, a 1 trillion-parameter open-weight model

    AIMistral has released Mistral Large 4, nicknamed Le Chonk, a 1 trillion-parameter model it says can be used and customized by anyone. It is in preview, with a final version due by the end of the month, and is optimized for coding and cyberdefense as well as manufacturing, finance, and electrical engineering tasks. Mistral claims it is the most capable open-weight model developed outside China and says it was trained from scratch rather than through distillation.

    Google DeepMind releases EmbeddingGemma 2, an open multimodal embedding model for on-device use

    AIGoogle DeepMind released EmbeddingGemma 2, an open 740M-parameter embedding model that maps text, code, images, video, and audio into one 768-dimensional space. Text-only use needs a 270M-parameter footprint, about 191MB active RAM when quantized on a Pixel 11 Pro, while loading all modalities takes about 567MB. The reported MTEB Code NDCG@10 score is 78.68, about 14% above the first generation, and MTEB Multilingual v2 is 61.36, roughly flat.

    Google DeepMind releases EmbeddingGemma 2, an open multimodal embedding model for on-device use

    AIGoogle DeepMind has released EmbeddingGemma 2, an open 740 million parameter model that maps text, images, audio, and video into one embedding space. It is built on the Gemma 4 architecture under an Apache 2.0 license and supports an 8K token context window. The company reports a code benchmark gain from 68.76 to 78.68 on MTEB Code and says the model can run on-device with about 567MB of active RAM for the full multimodal version on a Google Pixel 11 Pro.

    Why it matters: The release shows how a 740M-parameter embedding model can cover text, code, images, audio, and video on local hardware, with memory and storage figures to compare against other on-device options.

    Index-Nailong-9B-FP4 NVFP4 quantized translation model released on Hugging Face

    AIIndexTeam released Index-Nailong-9B-FP4, an official NVFP4 (W4A4) quantization of the Index-Nailong-9B multilingual translation model, which covers 150 languages. In a validation on an NVIDIA A100 against the BF16 checkpoint, perplexity rose 3.10% (2.4339 to 2.5094), and zh-en and en-zh outputs were semantically equivalent. Full FP4 compute acceleration requires an NVIDIA Blackwell GPU, while older GPUs get memory savings only; the FP8 build is recommended for Hopper and Ampere.
