We introduce the Yi model family, a series of language and multimodal models that demonstrate strong multi-dimensional capabilities. The family is based on 6B 34B pretrained models, then we extend them to chat 200K long context depth-upscaled vision-language models. Our base achieve performance wide range benchmarks like MMLU, our finetuned deliver human preference rate major evaluation platforms AlpacaEval Chatbot Arena. Building upon scalable super-computing infrastructure classical...

Rta, mainly encoded by open reading frame 50 (ORF50), is the product of an immediate-early gene human herpesvirus-8 (HHV-8)/Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus. Rta a transcriptional activator that both necessary and sufficient to disrupt viral latency activate expression downstream lytic genes. We report ectopically expressed protein could also rta promoter on reporter plasmid up 144-fold, in latently infected B cells uninfected epithelial cells, this activation was dose-dependent....
