About Mu

Mu is a 330-million-parameter encoder–decoder language model designed to power the agent in Windows settings by mapping natural-language queries to Settings function calls, running fully on-device via NPUs at over 100 tokens per second while maintaining high accuracy. Drawing on Phi Silica optimizations, Mu’s encoder–decoder architecture reuses a fixed-length latent representation to cut computation and memory overhead, yielding 47 percent lower first-token latency and 4.7× higher decoding speed on Qualcomm Hexagon NPUs compared to similar decoder-only models. Hardware-aware tuning, including a 2/3–1/3 encoder–decoder parameter split, weight sharing between input and output embeddings, Dual LayerNorm, rotary positional embeddings, and grouped-query attention, enables fast inference at over 200 tokens per second on devices like Surface Laptop 7 and sub-500 ms response times for settings queries.

CodeT5
CodeT5
Code for CodeT5, a new code-aware pre-trained encoder-decoder model. Identifier-aware unified pre-trained encoder-decoder models for code understanding and generation. This is the official PyTorch implementation for the EMNLP 2021 paper from Salesforce Research. CodeT5-large-ntp-py is specially optimized for Python code generation tasks and employed as the foundation model for our CodeRL, yielding new SOTA results on the APPS Python competition-level program synthesis benchmark. This repo provides the code for reproducing the experiments in CodeT5. CodeT5 is a new pre-trained encoder-decoder model for programming languages, which is pre-trained on 8.35M functions in 8 programming languages (Python, Java, JavaScript, PHP, Ruby, Go, C, and C#). In total, it achieves state-of-the-art results on 14 sub-tasks in a code intelligence benchmark - CodeXGLUE. Generate code based on the natural language description.

OpenAI Whisper
OpenAI Whisper
Whisper is an automatic speech recognition (ASR) system developed by OpenAI for converting spoken language into text. It is trained on 680,000 hours of multilingual and multitask audio data collected from the web. The model is designed to handle diverse accents, background noise, and technical language with high accuracy. Whisper supports transcription in multiple languages as well as translation into English. It uses an encoder-decoder Transformer architecture to process audio inputs and generate text outputs. The system can also perform tasks like language identification and timestamp generation. Overall, Whisper enables developers to build robust voice-enabled applications with ease.

GLM-OCR
GLM-OCR
GLM-OCR is a multimodal optical character recognition model and open source repository that provides accurate, efficient, and comprehensive document understanding by combining text and visual modalities into a unified encoder–decoder architecture derived from the GLM-V family. Built with a visual encoder pre-trained on large-scale image–text data and a lightweight cross-modal connector feeding into a GLM-0.5B language decoder, the model supports layout detection, parallel region recognition, and structured output for text, tables, formulas, and complicated real-world document formats. It introduces Multi-Token Prediction (MTP) loss and stable full-task reinforcement learning to improve training efficiency, recognition accuracy, and generalization, achieving state-of-the-art benchmarks on major document understanding tasks.
