Discussion in the show
In Weekly #004’s chapter “Jev：海量、高频与低延迟” (Jev: massive, high-frequency, low latency), Yang Pan mentions having “参加了一个极客公园的晚上直播，就聊聊这模型的” — joined a GeekPark evening livestream about models — and describes a spring-sprouting wave of Jev-like small-parameter models, adding that SiliconFlow listed three open-source models. This is a host’s account of taking part in a GeekPark livestream, not a GeekPark statement. The chapter is in the Chinese transcript.
