since we covered it

monthly average + 2k/mo (+12425%/mo) · + 20k total since PR#18

why it's a big deal

  • Purpose-built for agentic workflows like ReAct and iterative research, going beyond generic chat LLMs.
  • State-of-the-art results on research-heavy benchmarks, showing real advances in long-form reasoning.
  • Open-source release lowers barriers for teams to experiment with deep research agents outside of proprietary labs.

under the hood

  • 30.5B parameter model with only 3.3B active per token, enabling efficiency at scale.
  • Reinforcement learning training loop with customized Group Relative Policy Optimization.
  • Supports ReAct inference and a heavier IterResearch mode for maximum test-time performance.
