An open model built for image-text notes and speech

An open 280B-A16B model released by Xiaohongshu on 14 August 2026, under Apache-2.0 with 512K context and text, image and speech input — but no video. Agents 93 and documents 90 give a composite of 87.3; generation 75 marks it as an understanding model, not a creator.

Bottom line

If your inputs are images, speech and long notes, dots3-note is a rare fitting open model this edition: 512K context, agents 93, Apache-2.0. It does no video and is not a creative generator; for community-content understanding and speech-note organisation it fits better than a general flagship.

Strengths and limitations

Strengths

  • 512K context plus agents 93 is a rare combination for long notes and many-image tasks.
  • Speech input means image-text-plus-voice scenarios do not need a separate ASR stack.
  • Apache-2.0 adds no extra terms for commercial use or fine-tuning.

Limitations

  • No video support, which leaves out the core short-video scenario.
  • Generation 75: it cannot replace an image generation or editing model.
  • Ecosystem 85: public benchmarks and third-party reproduction remain thin.
