Ripple-65B set U.S. open-weight SOTA in agentic coding; builders share the recipe

Ricursive Intelligence released Ripple-65B Preview last week: a 65B dense LLM pretrained from scratch on 12 trillion tokens with up to 1M context, setting a new U.S. open-weight SOTA on agentic coding. Its small footprint lets it run on local devices like the NVIDIA DGX Spark; an internal variant powers Ricursive's AI chip design platform.

Together AI will host a live technical session on Tuesday, Nov 17, 11am PT with founding staff member Dan Zhang and Zain Hasan, going behind the build: why dense over MoE, which ablations held up (and didn't), what happened inside the RL runs, and how to run Ripple on Together and integrate it into coding agent workflows.
