4B OCR with Apache-2.0 license outperforming Mistral OCR 🔥 Tencent released Points-Reader, it’s a new model firstly trained on Qwen2.5VL annotations and then self-trained on real data in many benchmarks, it performs better than Qwen2.5VL and MistralOCR! https://x.com/mervenoyann/status/1966176133894098944

I vibe coded a visual PDF search app with ColQwen2. This is how it works: – Store PDF files as images in a @weaviate_io vector database – Embed images and text with a multimodal late-interaction model (ColQwen2) – Generate token-wise (and summed) similarity maps to highlight https://x.com/helloiamleonie/status/1964997028875743637

Qwen3-Next (thinking & non-thinking) are now live in BF16 at Hyperbolic! Qwen3-Next is a huge efficiency leap: – 80B MoE with just 3B active params – 10x cheaper to train vs Qwen3-32B – 10x inference throughput for >32K tokens Proud to be a launch partner with @Alibaba_Qwen – https://x.com/Yuchenj_UW/status/1966199037973200955

Qwen3-Next, or to say, a preview of our next generation (3.5?) is out! This time we try to be bold, but actually we have been doing experiments on hybrid models and linear attention for about a year. We believe that our solution shoud be at least a stable and solid solution to”” / X https://x.com/JustinLin610/status/1966199996728156167
