The new 3B "fully open source" model from AMD (rocm.blogs.amd.com)

This is again a big win on the red team at least for me. They developed a "fully open" 3B parameters model family trained from scratch on AMD Instinct™ MI300X GPUs.

AMD is excited to announce Instella, a family of fully open state-of-the-art 3-billion-parameter language models (LMs) [...]. Instella models outperform existing fully open models of similar sizes and achieve competitive performance compared to state-of-the-art open-weight models such as Llama-3.2-3B, Gemma-2-2B, and Qwen-2.5-3B [...].

As shown in this image (https://rocm.blogs.amd.com/_images/scaling_perf_instruct.png) this model outperforms current other "fully open" models, coming next to open weight only models.

A step further, thank you AMD.

PS : not doing AMD propaganda but thanks them to help and contribute to the Open Source World.

And we are still waiting on the day when these models can actually be run on AMD GPUs without jumping through hoops.

In other words, waiting for the day when antitrust law is properly applied against Nvidia's monopolization of CUDA.

That is a improvement, if the model is properly trained with rocm it should be able to run on amd GPU easier
