Physics limits

Inference latency vs. frontier modelsWhile active parameter count is low, the MoE routing overhead and model size place it behind the fastest frontier lab models in latency-critical applications.

How it works

2 parts

Architecture

Mixture-of-experts design

MoE routes tokens to expert sub-networks, keeping active parameters low while total capacity grows, enabling efficiency vs. dense models.

License

MIT open release

MIT license enables unrestricted commercial use, unlike many other advanced open-weight models.
