They've removed the paragraph about releasing model weights.

[nmfisher → markasoftware]

Still there for me: "The full model weights will be released by July 27, 2026"

[xur17 → markasoftware]

Does that mean this one won't be open source?

[markasoftware → xur17]

nitpicking and beating a dead horse, but it was never going to be open source, at best open weight.

So... it ranks THIRD?

[polski-g → nkmnz]

USSR is proud to announce that they won 2nd place in an Olympic contest. The filthy USA regime? Next to last!

(There were only two countries competing in said event)

[amelius → polski-g]

Apple proudly announced they won 2nd place in a competition among smartphone OSes.

[yreg → amelius]

Apple would never claim to be second.

[amelius → yreg]

Reminds me of a guy who claimed a "Flawless victory".

[ayushpai → yreg]

1st in open weight

[sudosysgen → nkmnz]

The literal interpretation of that sentence is "when it is second or third, it is only behind Fable 5 or 5.6 Sol". And indeed they give benchmarks where it is ahead of one but not both models.

[nkmnz → sudosysgen]

That would be “ranks second to x OR y”
