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.

    I don’t know why open sourcing malicious software is worthy of praise but okay.

    Every AI model outperforms every other model in the same weight class when you cherry pick the metrics… Although it’s always good to have more to choose from

      Instead of the traditional open models (like llama, qwen, gemma…) that are only open weight, this model says that it has :

      Fully open-source release of model weights, training hyperparameters, datasets, and code

      Making it different from other big tech “open” models. Tough it exists other “fully open” models like GPT neo, and more

    3B

    That’s one more than 2B so she must be really hot!

    AMD knew what they were doing.

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

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

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

    Nice. Where do I find the memory requirements? I have an older 6GB GPU so I’ve been able to play around with some models in the past.

    I know it’s not the point of the article but man that ai generated image looks bad. Like who approved that?
