The post references Martin Casado's assessment, noting it as a highly capable frontier model that does not rely on distillation from tech giants.
He specifically mentioned that this might be one of the few independently trained open-source models currently available, praising the Thinky team for their excellent work. While the original poster simply expressed gratitude, the core message is a highly positive evaluation of the model's training methodology and capability positioning.
