The model has 594B total parameters with 17B active, was trained natively in NVFP4, and is available now for fine-tuning and inference on Tinker, with full open weights expected next week. The commenter calls it the only US-based lab model that looks capable against GLM and DeepSeek, and plans to test it and publish a recipe.
