Introducing Instella: New State-of-the-art Fully Open 3B Language Models — ROCm Blogs
rocm.blogs.amd.com
AMD is excited to announce Instella, a family of fully open state-of-the-art 3-billion-parameter language models (LMs). , In this blog we explain how the Instella models were trained, and how to access them.

This is again a big win on the red team at least for me. They developed a “fully open” 3B parameters model family trained from scratch on AMD Instinct™ MI300X GPUs.

AMD is excited to announce Instella, a family of fully open state-of-the-art 3-billion-parameter language models (LMs) […]. Instella models outperform existing fully open models of similar sizes and achieve competitive performance compared to state-of-the-art open-weight models such as Llama-3.2-3B, Gemma-2-2B, and Qwen-2.5-3B […].

As shown in this image (https://rocm.blogs.amd.com/_images/scaling_perf_instruct.png) this model outperforms current other “fully open” models, coming next to open weight only models.

A step further, thank you AMD.

PS : not doing AMD propaganda but thanks them to help and contribute to the Open Source World.

    And we are still waiting on the day when these models can actually be run on AMD GPUs without jumping through hoops.

      That is a improvement, if the model is properly trained with rocm it should be able to run on amd GPU easier

      In other words, waiting for the day when antitrust law is properly applied against Nvidia’s monopolization of CUDA.
