Doubts Over Soofi's "Best Open-Source Model" Claim
JJitsev · x · 2026-07-16
The author questions Soofi's claim as the "strongest open-source model." The rationale is that while its training process was similar to the public version of Nemotron-3-Nano, the dataset used included all rewritten benchmark sets.
This implies the comparison is likely tainted by benchmark leakage/contamination, making the conclusions highly unconvincing.
