Interconnects is expanding its primary efforts on Interconnects — release recaps for popular models and the monthly Artifacts Log round-up — by building on the tools and internal data collected for projects like The ATOM Project, capturing an ecosystem view of open models and understanding adoption of giant MoE models.
These projects extend Interconnects' existing work — release recaps of models like Kimi K3, GLM 5.2, DeepSeek R1 — using internal data from The ATOM Project to develop methods for understanding adoption of large MoE models. ✦ AI generated

To date, our primary efforts on Interconnects have been release recaps for popular models like Kimi K3, GLM 5.2, DeepSeek R1, etc. and monthly round-ups of the open models that matter, Artifacts Log. We're expanding on these, building on the tools and internal data we've collected for other projects like The ATOM Project (and report). This allows us to capture our ecosystem view of open models, develop methods for understanding adoption of giant MoE models, and everything in between. We're sharing them freely to help the open ecosystem find its strengths and grow.

Since writing The ATOM Project, Interconnects has repeatedly seen the US-vs-China model adoption plot in the AI ecosystem, so they are now making the crucial data available in a daily updating dashboard.Interconnects (article author) · Interconnects · conf 75%I considered turning Interconnects into a full-time, top-priority operation like SemiAnalysis or Stratechery, but rejected that path because building an open-science ecosystem requires more than commentary and analysis.Nathan Lambert · Interconnects · conf 70%
