vLLM and AMD release d3-ultra, an open 26.09B multimodal decision model
Overview
vLLM and the vLLM Semantic Router team, with AMD, release d3-ultra, a 26.09B-parameter dense multimodal decision model under Apache-2.0 that was trained and served on AMD Instinct GPUs.
The model returns answer probabilities rather than generated text, and provides visual grounding and video tracking. Its weights are on Hugging Face, and it can also be used through Transformers, vLLM Semantic Router, a free API, or a Hugging Face Space. It supports 131,072 tokens of context per question.
vLLM says d3-ultra ranks #2 of 230 on the Jev Decision Index text board, 3.03 points above its predecessor d3. The vLLM Semantic Router team reports 87.2 on its own SR-Text test, ahead of GLiDE V1.2 at 85.1, and 58.2% on SR-Box across 10 domains, behind d3-turbo at 60.0%. These results come from the developers' own posts and have not been independently verified.
