Dia 1.6B

Dia-1.6B is designed to be small, responsive, and easy to ship. At 1.6 billion parameters it delivers solid instruction following, crisp summaries, and competent basic code generation while keeping memory and compute requirements modest enough for laptops, small servers, or on-device use. The model supports schema-true JSON and function calls so it drops neatly into automation pipelines, retrieval-augmented apps, and lightweight agent stacks. It maintains coherence over multi-turn chats and medium-length documents, and it quantizes cleanly to reduce footprint without a dramatic quality hit. Teams reach for Dia-1.6B when they need a dependable assistant for customer support bots, internal copilots, form and email drafting, FAQ automation, or simple developer helpers—use cases where low latency and cost per request matter more than exhaustive reasoning depth.
