RedNote, the social media platform known as Xiaohongshu in China, has released an open-source large language model (LLM) named dots.llm1. Accessible via Hugging Face, the move showcases RedNote's growing commitment to AI development since 2023. The model reportedly performs similarly to Alibaba's Qwen 2.5 but lacks the capabilities of more sophisticated models. This tech contribution signifies strengthening Chinese presence in the global open-source AI industry.
