NexaMOE Family of Models

Welcome to the NexaMOE Repository!

Get ready to supercharge your scientific research with the NexaMOE family of models! This Hugging Face repository hosts a powerful suite of Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models designed to generate hypotheses and methodologies across physics, biology, and materials science. Built with efficiency and scalability in mind, the NexaMOE family includes the baseline NexaMOE, the reasoning-enhanced NEXA-CoT, and the long-context powerhouse NEXA-Ultramax. Whether you’re a researcher tackling complex STEM problems, a data scientist exploring scientific ML, or a student learning about domain-specific AI, this repository is your go-to resource for cutting-edge scientific computation.

Model Overview

The NexaMOE family is a 110 million to 2.2 billion parameter architecture that uses a Semantic Router to direct queries to domain-specific expert modules (Physics, Biology, Materials Science). It’s optimized for resource-constrained environments, leveraging advanced training strategies, hardware optimizations, and techniques like reinforcement learning and sparse attention.

  • Summarize or analyze long scientific papers (e.g., 20K-token preprints).
  • Generate hypotheses from extended contexts (e.g., patent methods).
  • Support multi-query tasks requiring deep document understanding.

Future Models (Planned)
