The company, known for its Instagram-like platform, on Friday unveiled dots.llm1, a mixture-of-experts large language model
The company on Friday unveiled its dots.llm1 model, a mixture-of-experts system that activates 14 billion parameters out of a total of 142 billion when responding to queries, a design that aims to match the performance of leading AI models while cutting training and inference costs. RedNote said the model was developed by its in-house Humane Intelligence Lab, or “hi lab”, which evolved from the company’s previous AI research team.
RedNote’s Humane Intelligence Lab has this year been recruiting researchers with strong humanities backgrounds, emphasising the importance of humanlike expression and alignment with human values. The company claimed dots.llm1 outperformed other leading open-source models in Chinese language understanding, including Alibaba’s Qwen2.5-72B-Instruct and DeepSeek-V3.
