Proposal to distinguish major model releases from fine-tunes in community tags
September 9, 2026
A community suggestion advocates for differentiating between major pre-training releases and small fine-tunes using specific tags. This aims to clarify whether a model represents a significant architecture or data update versus incremental post-training adjustments.
