Yandex has released the open-weights base model AliceAI-Foundation-80B-A3B-Base on Hugging Face — a sparse MoE with 80B total / 3B active parameters, positioned as a Russian competitor to Qwen 35B-class and DeepSeek V4 Flash. Caveat: no llama.cpp support yet, so local deployment options remain limited.
