Ricursive publishes Apache-2.0 Ripple-65B Preview downloadable model-weight checkpoint

Ricursive publicly released the Ripple-65B Preview open-weight model around 4 November 2026. Its Hugging Face repository contains an actual approximately 130GB BF16 checkpoint split into 16 safetensors shards and model code under Apache-2.0, distinguishing it from future promised weights. Vendor claims about TerminalBench2.1 score, training cost, context length and recursive model-improvement methodology are not independently verified or evidence of self-modifying model weights; model performance and adoption remain research questions.
