Overview

Ant Group's MIT-licensed open reasoner: 1T total parameters with 50B active, using a novel ring-all-reduce MoE architecture. Top of the open-reasoning leaderboards.

When to pick this model

  • Datacenter-scale reasoning workloads
  • Research into novel MoE architectures
  • Frontier benchmarking against closed reasoners
  • Long-context reasoning up to 131k tokens

VRAM requirements by quantization

QuantizationVRAM required
Q4_K_M (recommended)600 GB
Q5_K_M720 GB
Q8_01080 GB
FP16 (no quantization)2000 GB

VRAM figures include model weights plus a typical 8k KV cache and ~600 MB runtime overhead (Ollama / llama.cpp baseline). Add headroom for higher context lengths.

Strengths

  • First trillion-parameter Chinese open-weight model
  • MIT license with full commercial freedom
  • Original ring-MoE all-reduce architecture
  • 131k context window

Limitations

  • Around 600 GB VRAM at Q4 — datacenter only
  • Commercial licensing for downstream use is complex
  • Operationally heavy to deploy and tune

Architecture & training

Architecture: MoE ring-all-reduce · 1T total · Ant Group · 131k context

Training: Ant Group — first Chinese trillion-parameter open-weight model, ring-MoE architecture.

Verdict

A frontier open reasoner with a permissive license — practical only for teams running real datacenter infrastructure.
