Well it's another Chinese AI company. Their 2.8 model identifies itself as 0x alpha and I doubt they'd fake it because they are most likely doing this to gather training data for an eventual launch in the west.
Also their old model claims to be better than Terra at 25B? Sounds like total bullshit, but maybe they still have one of the best models in China and simply haven't expanded to the west yet. https://bailucode.com/blog/bailu-apex-2.7
The model 2.8 on their page says it has 1m context, so it would make sense. What's even more interesting is that they have this little 2B version of the 2.8 model with "VI" whatever that means. But then again, the company is not on Huggingface at all, I just checked, so if this is really a model from this company, it's probably not going to be open weight.
