AMD has introduced its open-source 3B language model named "Instella". Notably, it has been trained on open datasets, which aligns with the growing demand for transparency and accessibility in AI models. However, some users express skepticism regarding this model's performance compared to existing models like Qwen-2.5, which, despite having a similar research-only license, shows superior benchmark results. This suggests that while AMD is making strides in contributing to open-source AI, it still faces competition from more established models in the field.
