FEATURED STORY • November 11, 2026
A 65B dense Transformer trained from scratch for $32M just claimed US open-weight SOTA on Terminal-Bench 2.1, beating MoE models 8-15x its size. Here's how Ricursive Intelligence did it —…

The practical conclusion after grading this edition.
BEST USE OF YOUR TIME TODAY
Open OpenRouter, select ricursiveai/ripple-65b-preview, and ask it to implement a small feature in your current repo — watch a 65B dense model reason, edit, and test in a terminal loop.
Compare the experience to your current cloud agent.
The highest-leverage action from today's stories.
SAFE TO SKIP
The BF16 130 GB weights unless you're doing continued pre-training or ablation research — the NVFP4 33 GB is validated for inference.
The DFlash2 drafter unless you're optimizing speculative decoding throughput.
The story or trend that does not deserve your attention today.
THE BOTTOM LINE
Ripple-65B Preview rewrites the open-weight cost/performance frontier.
A 5-person team, $32M, 65B dense parameters, and US SOTA on agentic coding proves that laddering, co-design, and RL efficiency beat brute-force MoE scaling. The frontier just got accessible — build something with it.
The one decision to carry forward from this edition.
