I think finetuned models can also be a benefit for the developers. Ie developers may release a base model, and the community applies continued pretraining and finetuning to make a Math, Code, Instruct, Reasoning variant etc so the developers don’t have to.

Qwen Audio Model Now Available: 70GB Weights for Local Deployment

This is really cool – you can try it out by signing into https://
chat.qwen.ai (with Google or GitHub) and selecting the audio icon The model weights are only ~70GB and that's before quantizing them down, so this one is going to be reasonably accessible to run locally
