Molmo 2 vs. GigaChat 3 Ultra

Molmo 2 introduces a state-of-the-art collection of open vision-language models, offering fully accessible weights, training data, and code, which enhances the capabilities of the original Molmo series by extending grounded image comprehension to include video and various image inputs. This significant upgrade facilitates advanced video analysis tasks such as pointing, tracking, dense captioning, and question-answering, all exhibiting strong spatial and temporal reasoning across multiple frames. The suite is comprised of three unique models: an 8 billion-parameter version designed for thorough video grounding and QA tasks, a 4 billion-parameter model that emphasizes efficiency, and a 7 billion-parameter model powered by Olmo, featuring a completely open end-to-end architecture that integrates the core language model. Remarkably, these latest models outperform their predecessors on important benchmarks, establishing new benchmarks for open-model capabilities in image and video comprehension tasks. Additionally, they frequently compete with much larger proprietary systems while being trained on a significantly smaller dataset compared to similar closed models, illustrating their impressive efficiency and performance in the domain. This noteworthy accomplishment signifies a major step forward in making AI-driven visual understanding technologies more accessible and effective, paving the way for further innovations in the field. The advancements presented by Molmo 2 not only enhance user experience but also broaden the potential applications of AI in various industries.

GigaChat 3 Ultra is a breakthrough open-source LLM, offering 702 billion parameters built on an advanced MoE architecture that keeps computation efficient while delivering frontier-level performance. Its design activates only 36 billion parameters per step, combining high intelligence with practical deployment speeds, even for research and enterprise workloads. The model is trained entirely from scratch on a 14-trillion-token dataset spanning ten+ languages, expansive natural corpora, technical literature, competitive programming problems, academic datasets, and more than 5.5 trillion synthetic tokens engineered to enhance reasoning depth. This approach enables the model to achieve exceptional Russian-language capabilities, strong multilingual performance, and competitive global benchmark scores across math (GSM8K, MATH-500), programming (HumanEval+), and domain-specific evaluations. GigaChat 3 Ultra is optimized for compatibility with modern open-source tooling, enabling fine-tuning, inference, and integration using standard frameworks without complex custom builds. Advanced engineering techniques—including MTP, MLA, expert balancing, and large-scale distributed training—ensure stable learning at enormous scale while preserving fast inference. Beyond raw intelligence, the model includes upgraded alignment, improved conversational behavior, and a refined chat template using TypeScript-based function definitions for cleaner, more efficient interactions. It also features a built-in code interpreter, enhanced search subsystem with query reformulation, long-term user memory capabilities, and improved Russian-language stylistic accuracy down to punctuation and orthography. With leading performance on Russian benchmarks and strong showings across international tests, GigaChat 3 Ultra stands among the top five largest and most advanced open-source LLMs in the world. It represents a major engineering milestone for the open community.
