Von: Open-source 395M "System One" model (r/LocalLLaMA)
Reddit thread · Story page
Von is an open-source 395M System One model pitched as a drop-in replacement for TypeSafe's JEV. Its author says it runs on CPU in 1 to 2 GB, answers in 25 to 300 ms, and beats JEV in all benchmarks.
In plain words
- Von's creator released an artificial intelligence system with code that others can inspect and change.
- The creator says it can run entirely on the main chip that carries out a computer's general tasks.
- The creator reports better results than TypeSafe's existing system in every comparison test they ran.
- Developers using TypeSafe's system could switch to Von without changing how their software uses it, according to its creator.
