A Reddit user spotted a mysterious Groot-280B-A16B-261023 model published by "GrootTeam" on Hugging Face, asking if it's the best model under 500B parameters and speculating it adds ngrams on top of Qwen. The family also includes a smaller Groot-19B-A3B version, which the model card claims scores higher than the larger Qwen3.6-35B-A3B and Gemma-4-26B-A4B while giving shorter answers. No independent verification yet; the poster is seeking community benchmarks.
