Given the complete failure of the first stable lm, I'm interested to try this one out. Haven't really seen a small language model, except mixtral 7b that's really useful for much.

I also hope stability comes out with a competitor to the new midjourney and dalle models! That's what put them on the map in the first place



We released a competitor to runway recently that beat it on blind tests, plus way faster image in sdxl turbo

We have been working on ComfyUI for the next step and new image models

Midjourney and others are pipelines versus models so we have a higher bar to jump but the og stable diffusion team are working hard!


Deepseek coder 6.7B is very useful for coding and can run in consumer GPUs.

I use the 6bit GGUF quantized version on a laptop RTX 3070


All of the Mistral versions have been excellent, including the OpenHermes versions. I encourage you to check out Phi-2 as well, it's the only 3b model I've found really quite interesting outside of Replit's code model built into Replit Core.
