VIDRAFT Releases Fully Open Foundation Model Aether-7B-5Attn: Weights, Code, Data, and Training Logs — All Public

Short summary

Korean AI startup VIDRAFT has released Aether-7B-5Attn, a ~6.59B-parameter MoE foundation model under Apache-2.0 with full reproducibility artifacts including training code, data recipes, logs, and intermediate checkpoints. The model is trained on 144.2B tokens with heavy math (37.8%) and balanced Korean/English (21.6% each) weighting. This positions it alongside OLMo and LLM-jp in the small family of genuinely open foundation models, though no benchmark scores are reported yet.
