About

What it is

This Space is the home page of VIDRAFT, an AI company in Seoul. It publishes open language models and tools for checking them. The page is a static site, with pages, images, a paper PDF and a Darwin model list in the repository. The page shows four ways it makes models: pretraining from scratch, merging, cross-architecture breeding and compression.

Who it suits

Machine learning researchers and engineers who follow open model labs and want one overview of what VIDRAFT offers. People who want to run large models on a PC or phone can look at the compression line.

IndustryWho uses itHow they use itExample
AI researchModel researchersRead about the merging, pretraining and verification approachesLooking at how the Darwin family is described
On-device AIDevelopers running models on PCs and phonesLook at the compression line for local useChecking which model sizes POCKET covers

Data and databasesAnalystsLook at the natural language to SQL toolReading how ViSQL checks queries by running them

If you want a tool to run right now, you can skip it, because the page is an overview of a lab.

Where to use it

  • A web browser, on the Space's page at Hugging Face
  • Windows, macOS or Linux, by opening a downloaded index.html in any browser

How to set it up

Online use needs nothing, since the page runs in the browser. To keep a copy, you need little.

  • Python and pip, only to download the files with the Hugging Face tool
  • A web browser to open the page
  1. Install the Hugging Face hub package.
  2. Download the Space's files into a local folder.
  3. Move into that folder.
  4. Open index.html in a web browser.
pip install -U huggingface_hub

How to use it

Open the page and read through the product lines. The table below lists the main ones as the page describes them.

ToolWhat it does
DarwinMerges models by evolution without any training
AETHERA foundation model pretrained from scratch with a mix of 5, 7 and 11 attention types, with open weights, code and logs under Apache 2.0
POCKETRuns models from 26B to 180B on a PC, laptop or phone through stock llama.cpp, with no GPU needed
ZTCJudges how far an answer can be trusted without generating any tokens
VKAE, VKUE and VKIESpeed up inference on a GPU, a CPU and an NPU
NPU (VKORE)Runs inference, LoRA tuning and pretraining on NPUs made only for inference
AX-RAYDiagnoses an LLM for safety, causality and trust before deployment
ChitosSecurity tests for code and AI agents that rest on proof
ViSQLTurns questions into SQL and checks the result by running it
CellOSCell simulation that can be differentiated, plus research agents that correct themselves

Example

You open the page and read the POCKET entry, which says big models can run on an ordinary PC, laptop or phone through llama.cpp, with no graphics card. You then look up the model names the Space lists on Hugging Face.

For newcomers and experts

If you are new to this, open the Space's page and read the opening paragraph and the product table. Nothing needs installing, and you get a map of what this lab works on.

If you know the field, the page reports benchmark and leaderboard results for the Darwin family and others. These are the lab's own claims, and the page also links the project to a paper PDF, so check them against the original leaderboards. The page itself is plain static files, with models and datasets named for you to fetch on Hugging Face.

  1. Open the page in a browser
  2. Read the lab's four ways of making models
  3. Browse the product table
  4. Look up the named models and datasets

Good to know

The numbers on the page are the lab's own reports, and the source gives no way to check them here.

  • License: Apache 2.0, as the Space's license line says
  • Cost to run: none named for the page itself. Running the models it names would depend on their own terms
  • Data it reaches: it names six models and six datasets on Hugging Face, and its README mentions the Hugging Face public API for usage figures
