Drummer's Skyfall 31B v4.1, Valkyrie 49B v2.1, Anubis 70B v1.2, and Anubis Mini 8B v1! - The next gen ships for your new adventures!

Independent AI developer TheDrummer has launched a quartet of new open-source language models in a quiet release on HuggingFace. The lineup includes Skyfall 31B v4.1, Valkyrie 49B v2.1, Anubis 70B v1.2, and the compact Anubis Mini 8B v1, which is a fine-tune of Meta's Llama 3.3 8B. These models represent significant upgrades over their predecessors, with TheDrummer noting they have been updated to match the style and performance of his other 'Gen 4.0' models like Cydonia 24B 4.3. The release was unannounced but has already garnered positive, unprompted feedback from the open-source AI community.

These models are designed for users running AI locally, offering a range of sizes from the 8B parameter Anubis Mini for lower-resource systems to the massive 70B parameter Anubis model for high-performance tasks. TheDrummer confirms support for modern model architectures, including Qwen 3.5 and the upcoming Mistral 4. The developer is also seeking community support in the form of compute or inference resources to continue the mission of creating high-quality, accessible open-source AI. This release provides developers and researchers with more powerful, free alternatives to proprietary models, fueling further innovation in the local LLM space.
