ByteDance

Doubao 1.5 Vision Pro, released by ByteDance via Volcano Engine on January 22, 2025, is a multimodal large language model from the Doubao 1.5 family with comprehensive upgrades to visual reasoning, OCR, and fine-grained image understanding. Built on a large-scale sparse MoE architecture, it targets vision-intensive workflows including document analysis, chart interpretation, and visual question answering.

Llama-3.1 Nemotron Ultra 253B

NVIDIA

Llama-3.1-Nemotron-Ultra-253B-v1 is a 253-billion-parameter model from NVIDIA, derived from Meta's Llama 3.1 405B using neural architecture search (NAS) compression combined with NVIDIA's Nemotron post-training pipeline, which recovers and exceeds the base model's capability after structural compression. Released in April 2025, it supports toggling between a standard instruction mode and an extended reasoning mode via system prompt, allowing the same model to handle both rapid responses and deliberate chain-of-thought tasks. It is the flagship of the Nemotron family, available open-weight on HuggingFace and through NVIDIA NIM for enterprise inference.
