We beat GPT-6 Astra and Opus 5.5 with <1% cost on text-to-SQL using fine-tuned open models.
While this result might seem crazy, this is actually the case for many (possibly all!) domain specific tasks. If you have the data – customized open models can and will perform better than closed frontier. Give it a try with River!

Introducing River Recipes: our open-source initiative for turning promising research into vetted, reproducible training recipes.

Our first recipe tackles text-to-SQL, where our trained open models beat GPT-6 Astra Pro and Claude Opus 5.5 on Arcwise-Plat for less than 1% of the cost.

Today, we're sharing that River AI has raised $1.1 billion, led by @generalcatalyst and @amppublic with strategic investment from @nvidia and @AMD. Additional investors include @ycombinator and @Temasek.

We imagine a future where your AI works entirely for you and deeply aligns with your values. Compared to the corporate chatbots of today, it will feel completely different: responsible, curious, and truly yours. Most importantly, you'll own everything: the hardware it runs on, the data it learns from, and the intelligence itself.

Our training API is already live and powering incredible work today. This new funding accelerates our push to bring the full personal AI stack to life.
