Dear my Brazillion new followers, I really don't want to disappoint, but I think you should know that it looks like RIO 397b might've just been an effort to embezzle funds.
Timeline:
1. Model training received funding of R$500K (~$100K USD).
2. Initial model documentation claimed that it was a developed on top of Qwen 3.5 397b with further training and technological improvements.
3. The model was a simple merge of 40% Nex N2 Pro and 60% Qwen 3.5 without further training.
4. Model card readme was updated to admit that it was an Nex N2 Pro merge, while maintaining that additional training still took place, and they simply uploaded the wrong model. Then the previously uploaded model was removed from HF.
5. The final model got lost, "We tried to recover the final model, but it was not possible. It will be released only after the new training and all external validations are completed." So they'll have to redo it from scratch.
Taken as a whole, it reads like "We pocketed funding, delivered a fake result, were caught, and now promise to do the actual work."

@NeoRothbardian I honestly get the criticism, but I'm not familiar enough to agree or not.
Smith was a massive enabler for later Keynesian and Marxist theories, not as much of a free market advocate as people assume
X AI is already taking large steps towards becoming a major player in coding over the months, especially now with Grok Build and the Opencode integration, now with cursor even more involved they will have even more high quality data. Don't sleep on them.
probably the smartest move
SpaceX has announced its first major acquisition after a record-breaking ipo: Cursor
cursor already has a strong RSI loop for its models, and with Elon's GPU resources, i would not be surprised if they release a mythos-class model within a year
@0xCVYH 1- Todo mundo zoou o cursor por isso
2- O Rio não trabalhou em cima, literalmente só copiou 2 modelos existentes. Não teve nenhum treinamento novo
