Dots Studio was launched by Xiaohongshu in early 2025, growing out of the company’s in-house large language model technology team. Driven by the mission to "build frontier intelligence for everyday life", the studio sits at the intersection of technology and human-centered design—constantly exploring the cutting edge of AI while staying grounded in what matters most: people and their everyday living. Its goal is to apply the most advanced intelligence to the full spectrum of daily experiences, making life better, simpler, and more human.

• dots.llm1 is a large-scale MoE model that activates 14B parameters out of a total of 142B parameters, delivering performance on par with state-of-the-art models. We released (i) checkpoints for state-of-the-art medium-sized models and (ii) training recipes for the MoE models.
• dots.ocr is a powerful, multilingual document parser that unifies layout detection and content recognition within a single vision-language model while maintaining good reading order. Despite its compact 1.7B-parameter LLM foundation, it achieves state-of-the-art(SOTA) performance.
• dots.vlm1 is the first vision-language model in the dots model family. Built upon a 1.2 billion-parameter vision encoder and the DeepSeek V3 large language model (LLM), dots.vlm1 demonstrates strong multimodal understanding and reasoning capabilities.
