What happened
The 594B-parameter mixture-of-experts model (17B active, up to 1M context) is now on Hugging Face and live on Together, Modal, Ollama and others, and Arena ranks it the #1 US open model in Code Arena WebDev. It gives builders a top-ranked, commercially usable US open-weight option, though it needs roughly 500GB of...
Why it matters
Builders looking for a US-made open-weight model they can use commercially now have another option to evaluate. Running it needs roughly 500GB of GPU memory, which limits local deployment and makes hosted providers a more practical route for many teams. Watch for independent testing beyond Arena's ranking to see how it performs in real coding work.
