Two MMLU accuracy scores of 0.781 for build 42 and 0.79 for build 44 of the acme-gpt-7b model family are structurally valid but return "incomparable" from the score-delta verifier in the apl-ai-eval crate because their f…
DeepSeek's V4.1 Flash technical report introduces a "Causal Encoder–Decoder" architecture that runs only the first 20 of the model's 40 layers during prefill, cutting prefill compute in half for its 552B-parameter MoE mo…
