Free AI Model Gets Smarter at English, But Drops Other Languages
If you use AI in English, this update could make it faster and cheaper.
Deep Dive
An update is out, and here's what changed: it alters which experts are retained, while no retained weights were modified relative to the base IQ3_S model. According to the article, about 25% of the retained expert selection differs from the previous release. The model remains English-only — with a limited expert budget, English capabilities were prioritized, so multilingual capabilities were not preserved.
Key Points
- The updated model is better at English but no longer supports other languages.
- It's free and runs on everyday computers, making it accessible for personal or small business use.
- About 25% of the model's internal 'experts' changed, focusing resources on English tasks.
Why It Matters
For English-only users, this free AI update offers improved performance without extra cost.
