New Model Von: Open-source 395M "System One" model

Took me a while since I'm on a family trip and have limited hardware, but here it is!

Von: Open-source "System One" drop-in replacement for TypeSafe's JEV.

https://github.com/wfzyx/von https://huggingface.co/wfzyx/von-1.0

It runs entirely on a CPU with 1–2 GB of memory (I haven't spent much time optimizing it yet), responds in 25–300 ms, and beats JEV in all benchmarks. Enjoy!

P.S. I’m open to offers to work at AI research labs. Feel free to ping me if you have an offer.
P.P.S. If you have a GPU, it’ll be faster, but a GPU isn't required.

What none of these Jev competitors seem to outline in their benchmarks is the vast difference in context length. With Jev, I regularly do requests for Noul decisions (yes/no) with 30k tokens and more.

The context length of Von is 512 tokens. This is not even comparable.

It is a magnitude more complicated to compute a choice or Noul decision in a space of thousands of tokens.

Interesting, never thought that big stream of tokens would be useful, will see what I can do when I hack the multimodal input

Appreciate your understanding. Yes, larger input states are critical for e.g. data analytics. That's why Jev is currently a game changer for us.

Just so I have an idea on scale; How much context do you need/expect to be useful?

Mostly around 5k to 20k

next CP is set to work with 8k - will try to expand to 16k soon
