Step 3.5 Flash is a cutting-edge, open-source large language model developed by StepFun-AI that pushes the frontier of efficient reasoning and “agentic” intelligence in a way that makes powerful AI accessible beyond proprietary black boxes. Unlike dense models that activate all their parameters for every token, Step 3.5 Flash uses a sparse Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture that selectively engages only about 11 billion of its roughly 196 billion total parameters per token, delivering high-quality reasoning and interaction at far lower compute cost and latency than traditional large models. ...

Step3-VL-10B is an open-source multimodal foundation model developed by StepFun AI that pushes the boundaries of what compact models can achieve by combining visual and language understanding in a single architecture. Despite having only about 10 billion parameters, it delivers performance that rivals or even surpasses much larger models (10×–20× larger) on a wide range of multimodal benchmarks covering reasoning, perception, and complex tasks, positioning it as one of the most powerful models in its class. ...
