Model Releases

• mistralai/Mistral-Small-4-119B-2603 — It’s a 119B parameter multilingual model covering many languages, with safetensors, FP8 quant, Apache‑2.0. Good if you need broad language coverage without paying for larger models.
• Qwen/Qwen3.5-35B-A3B — MoE base model for image‑text‑to‑text and chat, safetensors, Azure‑ready, Apache‑2.0. Useful as a multimodal foundation.
• Qwen/Qwen3.5-9B — Dense 9B base, safetensors, image‑text‑to‑text, Azure‑compatible, Apache‑2.0. Handy for fine‑tuning when you don’t need MoE overhead.
• Jackrong/Qwen3.5-9B-Claude-4.6-Opus-Reasoning-Distilled-v2-GGUF — GGUF‑quantized distilled reasoning model from Qwen3.5‑9B, trained on Claude‑4.6 Opus CoT data, multilingual EN/ZH/KO, Apache‑2.0. Good for lightweight reasoning tasks.
• datalab-to/chandra-ocr-2 — Qwen3.5‑based OCR/layout/markdown extractor, safetensors, multilingual, OpenRAIL license. Useful if you need PDF‑to‑markdown pipelines.
• Jackrong/Qwen3.5-27B-Claude-4.6-Opus-Reasoning-Distilled-v2-GGUF — Same idea but 27B base, GGUF quant, distilled from Claude‑4.6 Opus, multilingual EN/ZH/KO, Apache‑2.0. Balances size and reasoning power.

Today’s Synthesis

Want a multilingual coding assistant that you can iterate on quickly? Start with the 119‑parameter Mistral‑Small‑4 model (mistralai/Mistral-Small-4-119B-2603 ) as a strong, Apache‑2.0‑licensed base that already handles dozens of languages and ships with safetensors and FP8 quantisation for cheaper inference. Wrap it in the awb benchmark harness (awb 0.5.2 ) to measure end‑to‑end speed, correctness and integration overhead across your IDE, CI pipelines and local dev boxes; the harness lets you swap in custom tasks (e.g., repo‑level docstring generation or bug‑fix synthesis) and get repeatable numbers without building a harness from scratch. While you’re tuning prompts or adapting the model, prototype changes in tinygrad (tinygrad/tinygrad ) – its minimal PyTorch‑like API lets you experiment with LoRA adapters, quantisation schemes or custom loss functions in a few lines of code, then port the final weights back to the full‑size Mistral checkpoint for production evaluation. This loop gives you a concrete, low‑friction path from idea to measurable impact.
