Model Support Summary + new this week

Featherless is an innovative serverless inference provider for Hugging Face, gradually expanding its support for various model architectures since its launch in June. The platform recently included Mistral Nemo 12B and Qwen2 32B, bringing the total number of supported architectures to 12 and nearly 2,000 inferencible models. Smaller models, such as the 7B and 8B, are more prevalent due to their lower resource demands for fine-tuning, whereas older models have more fine-tuning iterations, explaining the numerous Llama 2 adaptations compared to fewer Nemos and Qwens. The company encourages community involvement through Discord for feedback and suggestions on future model support, and it plans to introduce new features beneficial to model creators involved in fine-tuning.
