DeepSeek-V4-Flash Update

Qwen/Alibaba have stopped doing open weights releases for a while. No grudge or anything, I'm certainly not going to look at a gift horse in the mouth, but both DeepSeek and Moonshot have been very consistent with open weights as well as sharing actually detailed research.

In terms of open research, China has absolutely overtaken the US.

Qwen has a pinned tweet stating that 3.8 will be released as open weights soon. I guess it remains to be seen, though, if they’ll do the smaller model sizes or only the big 2.4T one.

Most interesting part IMO is whatever Qwen open weight will include image / video capabilities since its where they are strongest.

Also base models versions are very useful for researchers, since they allow for a cold start to post training.
