Vertex Research

Open weights, no matter what.

Why

Open weight model releases have been comming less often and delay. Such as, GLM 5.3 was released via api only for a while, then they released the weights. Same for lots of other models such as Kimi K3, MiniMax M2.7/M3, Deepseek V4 Flash Vision Experimental, Qwen 3.8 2.4T-A95B and so on. There are many smaller groups comming up these days, such as Supra Labs or BananaMind that are releasing better and better SLM's. We intend to be one of them.

What we do

• Train compact language models from scratch and release every usable artifact: base, instruct, and reasoning variants, plus GGUF quantizations for llama.cpp.
• Keep everything Apache 2.0. No gated downloads, no acceptance forms, no API-only releases.

Models

More sizes and versions are on the way. Follow the org to stay updated.
