For my first post, I’m sharing a letter @NVIDIA signed on why open models matter.
AI will transform every industry, power every company, and be built by every country.
Open models strengthen safety and cybersecurity, accelerate innovation and diffusion, and enable sovereignty.
The world needs both frontier closed models and frontier open models.

.@essential_ai's rnj-1 model is now on Ollama!
ollama run rnj-1
8B parameter, open-weight dense model trained from scratch. The model is optimized for code and STEM with capabilities on par with other state of the art open-weight models.
Let's go! 🚀🚀🚀
ALT ollama run rnj-1

Introducing Rnj-1 Instruct from @essential_ai, an open-source 8B model engineered for agentic coding and STEM tasks. AI natives can now use Rnj-1 Instruct on Together AI and benefit from reliable inference for production-scale software engineering and scientific workflows.
Super excited to put this out in the world! We’re pushing the capabilities of open-source models at Essential and this is just the start. Please say hi to Rnj-1 and keep an eye out — there’s gonna be even more exciting developments in the near future
We are beyond thrilled to share our first flagship models, Rnj-1 base and instruct 8B parameter models. Rnj-1 is the culmination of 10 months of hard work by a phenomenal team, dedicated to advancing American SOTA OSS AI.
Lots of wins with Rnj-1.
1. SWE bench performance close to GPT 4o.
2. Tool use outperforming all comparable open source models.
3. Mathematical reasoning (AIME’25) nearly at par with GPT OSS MoE 20B.

Today, we’re excited to introduce Rnj-1, @essential_ai's first open model; a world-class 8B base + instruct pair, built with scientific rigor, intentional design, and a belief that the advancement and equitable distribution of AI depend on building in the open.
We bring American open-source at par with the best in the world.

Hey all I just had a lot of things happen.
Long story short I need some help. I am trying to land on my feet so if you can send anything I would greatly appreciate it.
I’m just out of options.
