Model: Phoenix 2 from Aleph Alpha?
Hey everyone, Caught a segment on the news showing a screenshot of what looks like a new model family from Aleph Alpha. The clip mentioned they're targeting public administration and enterprise/industrial use cases. Looking at the benchmark leaderboard on screen: \- It lists a few variants under Phoenix 2 (including mid-training and pre-training stages). \- Phoenix 2 (mid-training) scores 79.5%, placing it above models like GLM-4.5 Air, Nemotron 3 Nano 30B-A3B (77.2%), and Qwen3.5 35B-A3B. A couple of questions for the community: 1. Open Source? Do you think Aleph Alpha will release Phoenix 2 as open-weights, or will this stay locked behind enterprise/government (B2G/B2B) deployments? 2. Nemotron performance: Has anyone here tested Nemotron 3 Nano 30B-A3B in practice? How well do these benchmark scores translate to real-world tasks/inference?
