FUTO Keyboard is quite nice.
in this case it looks like this is the higher parameter count version, the 2b was released previously. (Not that it excludes them from making an even larger one in the future, altho that seems atypical of video/image/audio models)
re: GP: I sincerely wish 'Open'AI were this forthcoming with things like param count. If they have a 'b' in their naming, it's only to distingish it from the previous 'a' version, and don't ask me what an 'o' is supposed to mean.
Have you tried the latest, gemma3? I've been pretty impressed with it. Altho I do agree that qwen3 quickly overshadowed it, it seems too soon to dismiss it altogether. EG, the 3~4b and smaller versions of gemma seem to freak out way less frequently than similar param size qwen versions, tho I haven't been able to rule out quant and other factors in this just yet.
It's very difficult to fault anyone for not keeping up with the latest SOTA in this space. The fact we have several options that anyone can serviceably run, even on mobile, is just incredible.
Anyway, i agree that Mistral is worth keeping an eye on. They played a huge part in pushing the other players toward open weights and proving smaller models can have a place at the table. While I personally can't get that excited about a closed model, it's definitely nice to see they haven't tapped out.
