Introducing Arete-27B: Qwen3.8-27B, post-trained to reinforce Western values.
Chinese open models are currently the strongest available, but they ship with state-aligned behavior in the weights. We built an 803-prompt eval across seven value categories, including freedom of expression, democracy, and privacy, and measured how often a model adopts China’s party line.
After fine-tuning on roughly 53 million tokens, Arete-27B's propaganda rate fell from 22% to 1%, in line with the Western models we tested. Its Hermes Bench score shows no significant performance tradeoffs.
The values in an open model are one fine-tune away.
Our eval, weights, and training data are available now along with the full blog post: nousresearch.com/arete
Chart like solana shitcoin. Welcome to crypto, Intel
BREAKING: Intel stock, $INTC, extends losses to -27% on the day, now on track for its biggest daily loss since 1974.
This puts the stock down -53% from its June 30th record high.
That’s -$400 billion of lost market cap.
I was here during the Sino-Turkish Great Twitter War (2026).
The Chinese won.
Please include me in the forthcoming Wikipedia entry.

Is it some security-incident-get-together party?
some of us saw the future in 2025 already
Met a guy at KBW. He says he knows the team at NEAR and uses NEAR intents. Then he says, when he wants to move larger sum, it gets stuck so he just sends a message to the people he knows and it gets processed.
Perp DEX meta is in full swing with everyone hunting next winners. My side project was a different experiment in judgment: Can an LLM trade like a human?
Thought I had the 2026 GTM-fumble award locked for MegaETH. Then Arc showed up and said hold my beer.
Massive backing and huge brand behind means nothing it seems. Now it's “institutional settlement network” turned lousy corpo meme & insider casino. Jfc
Arc has fumbled the opportunity of a good launch getting filled with extractors
- Private mainnet gave selected traders access before the public
- Native Arc USDC traded at an insane 80–100% premium
- people got drained with fake links for $100,000 in value
- 20 different launchpads the moment it starts but only 2 with real liquidity
- insta rug of 3 launchpads hours after
- Multiple members pushed $DOKU has a vamp of the original meme
The trenches lasted five minutes before everyone started extracting everyone.
Gm, I only hold spot monero:native and ethereum:0x232ce3bd40fcd6f80f3d55a522d03f25df784ee2.

Have a nice week to anyone who comes across this messsage.
