Our model's name is YuE (乐). In Chinese, the word means "music" and "happiness." Some of you may find words that start with Yu hard to pronounce. If so, you can just call it "yeah." We wrote a song with our model's name. YuE is a groundbreaking series of open-source foundation models designed for music generation, specifically for transforming lyrics into full songs (lyrics2song). It can generate a complete song, lasting several minutes, that includes both a catchy vocal track and accompaniment track. YuE is capable of modeling diverse genres/languages/vocal techniques.

| 16-bit | 3.9 GB | 4.7 GB | 1x MI300X (192 GB) Vultr |
$1.85 | 1x H100 $1.99 · 1x MI325X $2.00 |
| 8-bit | 2.0 GB | 2.4 GB | 1x MI300X (192 GB) Vultr |
$1.85 | 1x H100 $1.99 · 1x MI325X $2.00 |
| 4-bit | 1.0 GB | 1.2 GB | 1x MI300X (192 GB) Vultr |
$1.85 | 1x H100 $1.99 · 1x MI325X $2.00 |
Memory is the weights at that precision plus 20% for the runtime and a short context; a long context needs more. Prices are the lowest on-demand hourly rates in the SAVRN Index, read Oct 22, 2026.

This repository releases a DSpark draft model for GLM-5.3. It is a speculator, not a standalone LLM: pair it with a GLM-5.3 target (BF16 or FP8) in SGLang or vLLM. Requires a recent SGLang or vLLM build with native DSpark support. This draft is for GLM-5.3 only. --speculative-num-draft-tokens is block size + 1. The draft is bf16 dense. Keep the draft KV cache dtype on auto so it does not inherit the target's FP8 MLA KV cache. - Context-length numbers are the mean of 3 runs (50 prompts, SPEED-Bench low-entropy throughput) - Qualitative numbers are one run on SPEED-Bench categories (80 prompts each) Acceptance length is the per-request mean of completion tokens divided by verification steps.…
Qwen3 is the latest generation of large language models in Qwen series, offering a comprehensive suite of dense and mixture-of-experts (MoE) models. Built upon extensive training, Qwen3 delivers groundbreaking advancements in reasoning, instruction-following, agent capabilities, and multilingual support, with the following key features: - Uniquely support of seamless switching between thinking mode (for complex logical reasoning, math, and coding) and non-thinking mode (for efficient, general-purpose dialogue) within single model, ensuring optimal performance across various scenarios. - Significantly enhancement in its reasoning capabilities, surpassing previous QwQ (in thinking mode) and…
Topology-Aware Knowledge Distillation from Qwen3-30B-A3B → 1.7B TopologicalQwen is a 1.7B parameter model distilled from Qwen3-30B-A3B using Topological Knowledge Distillation (TKD) — a methodology that treats the teacher's output distribution over a concatenated token stream as a bounded variation (BV) function and decomposes knowledge transfer into three channels via the Mesh Fundamental Identity: 1. Smooth distillation (AC component) — Standard KL divergence over regions where the teacher's distribution varies continuously. This is what every other KD method does and stops at. 2. Jump corrections (D^j f) — Explicit correction terms at conceptual boundaries where the teacher's…
Extended Reasoning Distillation from Qwen3-30B-A3B-Thinking → 1.7B The most downloaded model in the Convergent Intelligence portfolio. Qwen3-1.7B-Thinking-Distil captures extended deliberation patterns from the Qwen3-30B-A3B Thinking teacher — the variant that generates long-form reasoning chains before committing to an answer — and compresses them into a 1.7B student via supervised fine-tuning on the longwriter-6k dataset. The Thinking teacher produces the richest signal of the three teacher variants in the DistilQwen family (Instruct, Thinking, Coder). Where Instruct distillation captures clean instruction-following and Coder captures hierarchical decomposition, Thinking distillation…
A 1.7B-parameter causal language model distilled from Qwen3-30B-A3B on 6,122 STEM chain-of-thought samples using discrepancy-informed knowledge distillation. The training objective emphasizes proof structure, detects reasoning pivot tokens through token-level divergence dynamics, smooths high-entropy student singularities before distillation, and monitors structural drift through discrepancy energy. Standard knowledge distillation treats all tokens uniformly. Even proof-weighted approaches typically apply a static multiplier over the entire derivation span. That helps, but it still misses the internal structure of reasoning: some regions are smooth procedural continuation, while others are…
