Tülu 3 is designed for AI researchers, developers, and organizations seeking a high-performance, open-source language model for advanced reasoning, coding, and instruction-following tasks
About Tülu 3
Tülu 3 is an advanced instruction-following language model developed by the Allen Institute for AI (Ai2), designed to enhance capabilities in areas such as knowledge, reasoning, mathematics, coding, and safety. Built upon the Llama 3 Base, Tülu 3 employs a comprehensive four-stage post-training process: meticulous prompt curation and synthesis, supervised fine-tuning on a diverse set of prompts and completions, preference tuning using both off- and on-policy data, and a novel reinforcement learning approach to bolster specific skills with verifiable rewards. This open-source model distinguishes itself by providing full transparency, including access to training data, code, and evaluation tools, thereby closing the performance gap between open and proprietary fine-tuning methods. Evaluations indicate that Tülu 3 outperforms other open-weight models of similar size, such as Llama 3.1-Instruct and Qwen2.5-Instruct, across various benchmarks.

Molmo
Molmo is a family of open, state-of-the-art multimodal AI models developed by the Allen Institute for AI (Ai2). These models are designed to bridge the gap between open and proprietary systems, achieving competitive performance across a wide range of academic benchmarks and human evaluations. Unlike many existing multimodal models that rely heavily on synthetic data from proprietary systems, Molmo is trained entirely on open data, ensuring transparency and reproducibility. A key innovation in Molmo's development is the introduction of PixMo, a novel dataset comprising highly detailed image captions collected from human annotators using speech-based descriptions, as well as 2D pointing data that enables the models to answer questions using both natural language and non-verbal cues. This allows Molmo to interact with its environment in more nuanced ways, such as pointing to objects within images, thereby enhancing its applicability in fields like robotics and augmented reality.

Inkling
Inkling is an open-weights multimodal AI model from Thinking Machines designed as a customizable foundation model for developers, researchers, and enterprises. The model is a Mixture-of-Experts transformer with 975 billion total parameters, 41 billion active parameters, and support for context windows up to 1 million tokens. Inkling was trained from scratch on text, images, audio, and video, giving it native capabilities across reasoning, coding, agentic tool use, vision, audio, factuality, and instruction following. It is built with controllable thinking effort so users can balance performance, latency, and token efficiency for different workloads. The model is available for fine-tuning on Tinker, with playground access, API availability through ecosystem partners, and full weights published on Hugging Face. Built for customization, Inkling gives teams an open-weights base model for building domain-specific AI systems, multimodal agents, coding workflows, research tools, and more.

GLM-5.3
GLM-5.3 is Z.ai’s frontier coding model designed for complex software engineering, long-horizon agent tasks, and advanced post-training research. The model uses the same base model as GLM-5.2, with improvements coming from scaled post-training across more environments, more diverse tasks, and larger compute investment. GLM-5.3 delivers stronger coding performance, better task ownership, improved benchmark results, and greater efficiency across realistic development workflows. It is built to handle complex coding tasks, production-style engineering work, research environments, automation tasks, and agentic workflows that require multi-step execution. The model also shows emergent cyber capabilities in vulnerability discovery and exploitation-chain reasoning, with safety evaluation and hardening planned before open-weight release.

Muse Spark Open
Muse Spark Open is an open-weight, natively multimodal language model for developers and organizations building AI applications, coding systems, and agentic workflows. The released model has 816 billion total parameters, 42 billion active parameters, and a 1-million-token context window. Teams can download the model weights, run inference through supported engines such as vLLM, SGLang, TensorRT-LLM, Hugging Face Transformers, Apple MLX, llama.cpp, or Unsloth, and customize the model using PyTorch. It supports long-context reasoning, software engineering, coding, tool use, and multimodal inputs. Deployment options include cloud inference through listed API providers or self-hosting on compatible GPU systems; Meta documents a desktop setup using two Apple M5 Ultra Mac Studio computers. The model is released under the Muse Model License with limited commercial terms.
