Ricursive Intelligence, a startup that uses AI to design chips, released Ripple-65B Preview on Hugging Face under Apache 2.0: a 65B dense model trained on 12T tokens with up to 1M context, built by a team that grew from 1 to 5 people.
- The company claims 80.52 on TerminalBench 2.1 for agentic coding and $32M for the entire R&D effort; neither is independently verified.
- The model card warns that scores shifted between harnesses when reproducing other labs' results, so leaderboard comparisons need caution.
- The poster asks for real-project evaluations beyond launch numbers.
