It's a Qwen fine tune that's benchmaxxing a few sets of question types, and it's obviously nowhere near beating Opus 3.8 in real usage. Nothing to see here.

Normally, I'd give them a pass because at least it's open source, but then I read

> Raising pre-seed. So we welcome all angels and vcs

Which basically gives away that they're trying to fool investors into giving them money by exaggerating their results.



There is, IMO a lot of value in fine tuning existing models. If that gets them funded, great, who cares, right?

This is not their first release. BTL-2 (or -3 maybe? I forget) looked kind of interesting but it was annoying to run, needed a patch on llama.cpp, looks like they're improving their tooling.

I'm certainly interested in how this actually performs.
