Mingbird: A Local-First Agent Harness Enabling Small Open Models to Complete Real Tasks
The preprint argues that many failures of 2B–9B open models on real tasks arise from the harness rather than the model. Mingbird is a local-first harness for Windows and Ollama with mechanisms including a byte-level…
DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash: Pushing the Limits of KV Cache Compression
The record describes a 552B-backbone multimodal mixture-of-experts model with up to one million tokens of context, activating 16B parameters during decode and 8B during prefill. It reports cross-layer KV reuse, FP4 KV…
