SmolLM3-3B

HuggingFace has released a new version of their SmolLM series alongside a very detailed writeup of all the decisions made, including details about all the used datasets. Similar to other models, it supports a thinking and non-thinking mode. We played around with it and were impressed by the quality, it really is a model on the level of the small Qwen3 models and comes with all artifacts released - one of the few "open-source" models today.
