Where it's used

Hugging Face does not say who downloads a model or with what. These are the proxies: API providers listing it, quantized builds, fine-tunes/adapters/merges, and Spaces that load it.

Served by 1 API provider; heavily run locally (51 quantized builds); a big base for builders (93 fine-tunes, adapters and merges).

Qwen3 introduces Hybrid Thinking Modes, allowing users to toggle between step-by-step reasoning and rapid responses via computational budget control. The open-weight MoE model Qwen3-235B-A22B achieves performance similar to dense models while using only 10% of the active parameters. Pre-training utilized approximately 36 trillion tokens across 119 languages, with deployment supported by SGLang and vLLM.written, reviewed, cited
  • Qwen3-8B and Qwen3-14B models do not use tied embeddings, unlike smaller variants.
  • The pre-training pipeline includes a final stage extending context length to 32K tokens.

OpenAI released gpt-oss-120b and gpt-oss-20b, their first open-weight models since GPT-2 in 2019. The 20B model can run on a consumer GPU with up to 16 GB of RAM, and the 120B model can run on a single H100 with 80 GB of RAM or newer hardware. The models utilize MXFP4 optimization to fit onto single GPUs.written, reviewed, cited
