ZAYA1-8B Technical Report
ZAYA1-8B is a new reasoning-focused AI model with 700M active and 8B total parameters, outperforming larger models in math and coding benchmarks. It achieves this using a novel mixture-of-experts architecture and a four-stage reinforcement learning cascade. Markovian RSA further boosts its performance in complex reasoning tasks. Its strong performance with fewer active parameters indicates efficient design and training. This model offers competitive reasoning capabilities and sets a high standard for efficiency in AI development.
