Last week was big for open source LLMs. We got: - Qwen 2.5 VL (72b and 32b) - Gemma-3 (27b) - DeepSeek-v3-0324 And a couple weeks ago we got the new mistral-ocr model. We updated our OCR benchmark to include the new models. We evaluated 1,000 documents for JSON extraction accuracy. Major takeaways: - Qwen 2.5 VL (72b and 32b) are by far the most impressive. Both landed right around 75% accuracy (equivalent to GPT-4o’s performance). Qwen 72b was only 0.4% above 32b. Within the margin of error. - Both Qwen models passed mistral-ocr (72.2%), which is specifically trained for OCR. - Gemma-3…

Ubicloud is an open source alternative to AWS. Today, we launched our inference APIs, built with open source AI models. QwQ-32B-Preview is one of those models; and it can provide o1-like reasoning at 1% the cost. QwQ is licensed under Apache 2.0 [1] and Ubicloud under AGPL v3. We deploy open models on a cloud stack that can run anywhere. This allows us to offer great price / performance. From an accuracy standpoint, QwQ does well in math and coding domains. For example, in the MMLU-Pro Computer Science LLM Benchmark, the accuracy rankings are as follows. Claude-3.5 Sonnet (82.5),…
