  We are glad to announce the immediate availability of Gemma-3, a family of vision-capable models released by Google in March, and QwQ-32B, a medium-sized reasoning model from Alibaba. With the arrival of the former, SCRP-Chat now offers a full range of vision models. We will therefore retire our existing range of text-only Llama 3 models one week from today (April 21th 2025).
