Open WeightModel weights are publicly available — can be downloaded and self-hosted

Released March 2026262K context≈ 196,608 words8B params

A text-generation model with an unusually large context window of 262,144 tokens, allowing it to process and reason over very long documents in a single pass. Built on a diffusion-based architecture rather than the standard autoregressive approach, which gives it a different generation profile — producing outputs through iterative refinement rather than token-by-token prediction. As an open-weight model, it can be run locally and fine-tuned.

Glossary

ArchitectureThe underlying structural design of a neural network that defines how data flows through layers and components.AutoregressiveA model that generates text one token at a time by predicting the next word based on all previous words in the sequence.Context WindowThe maximum number of tokens a model can process in a single conversation or prompt.Diffusion-Based ArchitectureA neural network design that generates outputs by iteratively refining noisy predictions into clear results, rather than building text one token at a time like traditional language models.Fine-TunedA pre-trained model further trained on a smaller, task-specific dataset to improve performance on that task.Iterative refinementRepeatedly improving an output by generating versions, evaluating them, and using feedback to create better versions.Open-Weight ModelA model whose trained weights are publicly released, allowing anyone to download and run it locally.TokenA small unit of text (a word, subword, or punctuation mark) that a language model breaks input into for processing.Token PredictionThe core task of predicting what word or subword (token) should come next in a sequence based on previous text.TokensThe basic units of text that a language model processes, typically representing words or word fragments.
