Moonshine Open-Weights STT models – higher accuracy than WhisperLargev3▲316
I wanted to share our new speech to text model, and the library to use them effectively. We're a small startup (six people, sub-$100k monthly GPU budget) so I'm proud of the work the team has done to create streaming STT models with lower word-error rates than OpenAI's largest Whisper model. Admittedly Large v3 is a couple of years old, but we're near the top the HF OpenASR leaderboard, even up against Nvidia's Parakeet family. Anyway, I'd love to get feedback on the models and software, and hear about what people might build with it.

LoraLand – 25 fine-tuned LLMs that beat GPT-4▲24
Hi all, today we're excited to launch LoraLand: 25 fine-tuned mistral-7b models that outperform #gpt4 on task-specific applications ranging from sentiment detection to question answering. All 25 fine-tuned models… - Outperform GPT-4, GPT-3.5-turbo, and mistral-7b-instruct for specific tasks - Are cost-effectively served from a single GPU through LoRAX - Were trained for less than $8 each on average You can prompt all of the fine-tuned models today and compare their results to mistral-7b-instruct in real time! We'd love to hear comments and feedback from the community

Local fine tuning for Mistral and SDXL, GPU mem/latency optimization▲36
100% bootstrapped new startup. It lets you fine tune Mistral-7B and SDXL. In particular, for the LLM fine tuning we implemented a dataprep pipeline that turns websites/pdfs/doc files into question-answer pairs for training the small LLM using an big LLM. It includes a GPU scheduler that can do finegrained GPU memory scheduling (Kubernetes can only do whole-GPU, we do it per-GB of GPU memory to pack both inference and fine tuning jobs into the same fleet) to fit model instances into GPU memory to optimally trade off user facing latency with GPU memory utilization It's a pretty…

Distilling DeepSeek into GPT-OSS doesn't transfer censorship. Try it▲170
We recently used DeepSeek V4 Flash as a teacher for finance tasks with GPT-OSS-120B. Distillation works well on this problem. At a constrained 8k token budget, our self-distilled 120B scores 83.61% on FinanceReasoning, above Kimi K3 (81.93%) and Inkling (65.13%). We released the 20B open weights. With V4 as the teacher though, we realized it would be timely to measure if the censorship characteristic of it transferred to the distilled version of the base model. tl;dr it didn't, the teacher answered politically sensitive questions 7 SDs differently than expected, but the distilled model's…
