It tops benchmarks because it uses them in its training data. https://x.com/eliebakouch/status/2077425801633427919
Disappointing. Sounds like Volkswagen 2.0

#12How can we get these things to fight each other for sport? Real battle bots

#13> the facility runs entirely on renewable energy, is cooled with water from the Eisbach canal, and feeds waste heat into the surrounding Tucherpark neighborhood.
That's it right there. Show the others how it's done. Can see going forward most model training being done in winter, making for a proper resource recycling ecosystem.

training on the test set is all you need

#15Great to see more competition in this space, and especially from Europe, but... it's a shame when the benchmarks don't include the current best comparable models. They shows results against Qwen 3.5 and Gemma 3, but Qwen 3.6 and Gemma 4 have been available for ~three months.
I bet it's doing really well against Llama 3 :)

It's funny, my reaction was the exact opposite. Details like this show that they're fundamentally unserious and focused on the wrong things. Imagine if Germany, when developing their automotive industry, spent all their time focusing on reusing the waste heat from production to heat homes instead of just building great cars. They probably would not have sold many cars!

Imagine Canada being on fire due to global warming while you write this comment.

Survival! Wrong thing! Stay away! Sell cars, that's what you've got to do, at any price.
