Key Innovations

Reasoning
ReasoningStructured step-by-step problem solving, often using chain-of-thought or tree-of-thought approaches.
MoE
MoEArchitecture where only a fraction of the model's parameters are active for each input, allowing massive scale with lower compute.
Open Weight
Open WeightModel weights are publicly released but training data/code may not be. Enables fine-tuning but not full reproduction.
