  • Moondream 3 preview release announced with a new 9B MoE architecture and 2B active parameters.
  • Focus on four key areas: visual reasoning, trainability, speed, and cost efficiency.
  • Enhanced capabilities include object detection, pointing, structured output, and improved OCR.
  • Extended context length from 2k to 32k tokens for better complex query handling.
  • Benchmarks show competitive performance with frontier models, with faster inference times.
  • Technical notes detail the model's architecture, training dynamics, and long-context handling.
  • Preview release caveats include unoptimized inference code and ongoing model training.
  • Model available on Moondream playground and HuggingFace, with updates to follow.
