TIKTOK PARENT COMPANY BYTEDANCE RELEASES NEW OPEN SOURCE SEED-OSS-36B MODEL WITH 512K TOKEN CONTEXT

Summary from the TLDR AI newsletter

ByteDance's Seed Team of AI researchers today released Seed-OSS-36B on Hugging Face. Seed-OSS-36B is a new line of open source, large language models designed for advanced reasoning with both synthetic- and non-synthetic-data variants and an instruct model. The synthetic-data variant is intended as a higher-performing general-purpose option, while the non-synthetic model avoids potential bias or distortion introduced by synthetic instruction data. The instruct model is post-trained with instruction data to prioritize task execution and instruction following. The models were released under the Apache-2.0 license, which allows free use, modification, and redistribution by researchers and developers working for enterprises.
