AI startup IQuest Research has released IQuest-Q1, an open-source mixture-of-experts model with 320 billion total parameters but only 15 billion active per query, aimed at agentic coding tasks. The sparse architecture promises large-model capability with much lower inference costs. It arrives as competition intensifies among open-weight coding models, and developers are weighing its benchmarks and licensing against rivals like DeepSeek and Qwen.
