Large Language Models (LLM) & AI Market: Flash Onyx 2.2 Released, Finishes Model Improvements
Flash Onyx 2.2, a new version of the Flash Onyx model by the author 'Natuworkguy', is published and available via Ollama. The release ships in two sizes (12b for consumer hardware and 31b for GPU-equipped machines) and focuses on improving request comprehension, producing correct concise answers, automatic stack selection, safer and more accurate Manim animation code generation, and better game-development patterns. Sampling and context settings were adjusted (temperature 0.7→0.6, min_p 0.0→0.05, num_ctx 32768→65536). The post includes install/pull commands for Ollama, recommended MODEL env settings, and an install script link. The author invites feedback and notes that future work (2.3) will address any failures encountered when using 2.2.
A developer-focused release of a locally runnable LLM with increased context window and sampling refinements; relevant to engineers and generative-AI tooling but not a major platform-level change for the AdTech industry.
Key Takeaways & Evidence Grounding
- Flash Onyx 2.2 is published and available on Ollama.
- The model is offered in two sizes: 12b (runs on normal consumer hardware) and 31b (requires a real GPU).
- Sampling and context configuration changes: temperature 0.7 -> 0.6; min_p 0.0 -> 0.05; num_ctx 32768 -> 65536.
- Primary improvements include better understanding of requests, automatic stack selection, improved Manim code generation, and higher completion quality.
- Install/pull instructions provided (ollama pull and an install script at flashproject.dev).
