From Llama 3.2 to Kimi-K2: A Comprehensive Overview of the Ultimate Competition in Open-Source Large Model Architectures in 2025
In 2025, open-source large models will show three major trends: 1) MoE architecture becomes mainstream, with DeepSeek-V3 (67.1 billion parameters) and Qwen3-235B (235 billion parameters) each having unique designs in their expert systems; 2) small models break through performance bottlenecks, with SmolLM3-3B adopting position-encoding-free technology, and Qwen3-4B achieving lightweight efficiency; 3) models show significant differentiation, with Llama3.2 focusing on general tasks, while Kimi-K2 (1 trillion parameters) excels in complex reasoning.
