They've removed the paragraph about releasing model weights.

[nmfisher]

Still there for me: "The full model weights will be released by July 27, 2026"

[xur17]

Does that mean this one won't be open source?

[markasoftware]

nitpicking and beating a dead horse, but it was never going to be open source, at best open weight.

So... it ranks THIRD?

[polski-g]

USSR is proud to announce that they won 2nd place in an Olympic contest. The filthy USA regime? Next to last!

(There were only two countries competing in said event)

Apple proudly announced they won 2nd place in a competition among smartphone OSes.

[yreg]

Apple would never claim to be second.

[amelius]

Reminds me of a guy who claimed a "Flawless victory".

[ayushpai]

1st in open weight

[sudosysgen]

The literal interpretation of that sentence is "when it is second or third, it is only behind Fable 5 or 5.6 Sol". And indeed they give benchmarks where it is ahead of one but not both models.

[nkmnz]

That would be “ranks second to x OR y”
