oh well, a bunch of the top people at Qwen got replaced. ugh we need a lot more innovation on open source *small* foundation models, as they will be what enable a lot of use cases, not your huge 1T parameter chatbot View quoted note →

honestly the alby pivot doesn’t matter unless it actually affects the product’s quality. don’t like shitcoins? disable it! it’s very, very hard to make money in the bitcoin space, and the other option is just dying out instead of still being able to provide an extension

interesting, new small qwen 3.5 models with no instruction tuning
