A trio of powerful open and semi-open models give developers new options for both text and image generation. Nvidia and Alibaba released high-performance large language models (LLMs), while Stability AI released a slimmed-down version of its flagship text-to-image generator.

… Nvidia offers the Nemotron-4 340B family of language models, which includes a 340-billion parameter base model as well as versions fine-tuned to follow instructions and to serve as a reward model in reinforcement learning from human feedback. …. Alibaba introduced the Qwen2 family of language models. Qwen2 includes base and instruction-tuned versions of five models that range in size from 500 million to 72 billion parameters and process context lengths between 32,000 and 128,000 tokens. …. Stability AI launched the Stable Diffusion 3 Medium text-to-image generator, a 2 billion-parameter based on the technology that underpins Stable Diffusion 3.  — Read More
