From the discussion
A few top-level comments from Hacker News, shortened. Read the full thread on Hacker News.
The best open models today have been “good enough” to do most knowledge work for a few months. This might be the first US one good enough too. That’s a big deal. Open weight US based Opus 5.5 within 12 months.
It's a nice, domestic open weight model. Without hundreds of millions in 9 days a small team is producing a model that can beat DeepSeek 4.1 and a platform to tune it. Optimistic for the future.
The most important thing here is training was entirely nvfp4 - this is best model by far that has ever been trained in that precision and explains why they were able to do it so fast
