AI2 defies Deepseek and Openai with tulu 3 405b, a massive open-source alternative
With TULU 3 405Bthe American research institute AI2 offers a model open-source and very large-scaledisplaying 405 billion parametersor a scale comparable to Deepseek V3 And Llama 3.1 405b of meta. According to the internal assessments of AI2, Tulu 3 surpasses these models as well as OPENAI GPT-4O on specific benchmarks, in particular Popqa (factual knowledge) and GSM8K (mathematical reasoning).
Unlike Openai, which retains a Closed and commercial modeland at Deepseekwhich puts on a hybrid approach with restricted access to the weights of its models, AI2 follows A more radical logic of opening. Tulu 3 405b is Totally open-sourcewith the complete publication of its components and its training code, a posture reminiscent of that of Meta with Llama But to a even more ambitious scale.
Technically, AI2 adopts a separate approach with the Reinforcement Learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR)aimed at strengthening the accuracy of the model on tasks like strict monitoring of instructions and complex problem solving.
Mistral AI accelerates the cadence with Small 3
Mistral AI unveils Small 3, a model of 24 billion parameters designed to perform 80 % of generative AI tasks with minimum latency. Three times faster than Llama 3.3 70B on the same equipment, it is positioned as an open-source alternative to proprietary models like GPT-4O-MINI of OPENAI. Unlike Deepseek R1, trained with RL and synthetic data, Small 3 favors a classic pre-training to promote adaptation.
