small-models

Microsoft announced two new language models: MAI-Thinking-1, a 35B parameter reasoning model available to select early partners, and MAI-Code-1-Flash, a 5B parameter coding model rolling out to GitHub Copilot individual users in VS Code. Both models were trained on commercially licensed data without distillation from third-party models.

Mistral AI has released Mistral Small 4, the latest iteration of its small-scale language model. The company claims improvements in reasoning and coding capabilities, though specific benchmark scores and pricing details have not been publicly disclosed.
