its been a lot of fun helping clever people build a capable model from scratch. especially one designed from the ground up to do the sorts of things i love. cant wait to make the next one
Today, weโre excited to introduce Rnj-1, @essential_ai's first open model; a world-class 8B base + instruct pair, built with scientific rigor, intentional design, and a belief that the advancement and equitable distribution of AI depend on building in the open.
We bring American open-source at par with the best in the world.
