I recently released FlameF0X/TinyMoE-100m-2x8-retrained, a small Mixture of Experts language model trained on the Smollm-Corpus. Built on top of the Mixtral architecture, it’s fully compatible with 🤗 Transformers right out of the box!
The model can produce somewhat coherent text on its own, and for some reason, it generates even more coherent responses when given a ChatLM template.
I’m excited to see what you all come up with, and feel free to fine-tune it if you’d like. In the meantime, I’ll be working on developing the chat-trained version.
FlameF0X/Qwen3-4B-Distilled-Claude-4.6 (NVFP4 and MXFP4) sit at ranks 23 and 24 with 62.68% and 61.18% average, right below the base Qwen3-4B. Not bad considering they were distilled from Claude 4.6 rather than trained from scratch.
The funny one is FlameF0X/Qwen2-0.2B-pt and FlameF0X/Qwen2-0.2B-it. They're not properly trained — genuinely undertrained, basically undefined — and they still beat openai/gpt-oss-20b at rank 66. The 20B model. Not sure what that says but it's something.
FlameF0X/LFM2-Research is at the bottom of my lineup but it's a research artifact, not meant to be competitive.
