Virtuoso-Large

Arcee AI, which we've featured in previous episodes with some of their fine-tunes, have started pre-training their own models, starting with a 4.5B parameter model (blog). This has led to them opening their previously closed models to the public, released under permissive licenses. This model is their flagship model, a 72B fine-tune of Qwen2.5. The move to open older models is really commendable, we hope others will follow suit!
