erything we say or do is to meet a need or experience something we value.

ke people worry about getting a ticket, then we would say this strategy works. But if what you really want is safety, predictability and effectiveness then we think it’s probably not working very well.

The JiRack ecosystem provides an efficient open-source architecture designed specifically for rapid training of high-performance corporate and enterprise models.
JiRackTernary-7B model trains to high quality in just 2–3 epochs using the powerful JiRack-Pro-Tokenizer or JiRack-Router-Tokenizer combined with SFT + DPO. → Hugging Face Model: https://huggingface.co/CMSManhattan/JiRackTernary_7b
JiRackTernary-3B model achieves excellent results in only 1–2 epochs with the same JiRack-Pro-Tokenizer or JiRack-Router-Tokenizer + SFT + DPO. → Hugging Face Model https://huggingface.co/CMSManhattan/JiRackTernary_3b
- Models based on our premium ternary architecture with maximum compression, ready for production use, are available under a commercial license
