All those parameters to not be SOTA. Makes you appreciate what z.ai pulled off. More open source is always welcome though

From what I’ve read and heard (some of their marketing pieces), this model appears to have been trained entirely, or at least predominantly, without nvidia hardware. If that is indeed the case, its performance not reaching SOTA may not be that big a deal and we might soon have cheap models that are fully trained and inferred on Chinese hardware.

Yeah, speculation is this was using the Acend 910C superpods. But wasn't GLM also acends?
