Sure, I would like to have it.

I know that Deepseek as a model is easier to have inference for, but I am not sure about how much pre-training as helped.

It's my understand that GLM 5.1 or to my personal experience Kimi K2 are some nice open source models so I am interested to hear your thoughts on it and why you picked deepseek for the fine-tuning instead.
