He/Him. I like LLM's and VLM's. I work with my other friends to make stuff. We are in year 7 and we are enthusiastic about AI. We are based in Australia 🇦🇺
I have some unfortunate news to share with everyone. My earlier estimate for the launch of G1 in late October was inaccurate. We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may cause, but with our current compute resources, pretraining a 20B MoE model is not realistically possible within two months.
G1-MINI will also be postponed, but not for nearly as long — only by a few extra months.
This is disappointing, as I know I was excited to launch G1, and I know many people were also watching the model and looking forward to it.
However in my view, I would rather be honest about our limitations than be overly optimistic about something we currently cannot guarantee.
G1 is not cancelled but uh it will be postponed indefinitely until I have the resources needed to train it. This could be next month, or it could take years. For now, I don't want to give another estimated launch date until I know we have the resources to actually make it happen.
In the meantime, SmilyAI will continue developing AI and experimenting with new ideas, and we will provide updates as we go.
Thank you for sticking with us and supporting SmilyAI. We will continue working towards better models in the future.
Also, if you do have the hardware, to run it aka 8xH200s or better, my codebase is fully open under my very permissive license: i-have-no-idea-just-use-this. Basically, do whatever just mention me. Bc-AI/train-g1
Hello everyone! Me and the team are working on G1-MINI and G1. Right now, G1-MINI is aimed at a launch in mid to late September, depending on how fast we fix the minor issues. As for G1, it's looking like a late October to mid-November launch, based on current trajectory. If things go terribly wrong, we could postpone it to December, as we prefer to ship confidently, not ship a half-done dogs' breakfast of a model. 🤣 All dates could be changed at any moment, as we are high school students not full-time ML engineers 😅. Other things to look out for is an overhaul of the UI and the information on my website.
