A new dispute is unfolding around Rio 3.5 Open 397B, a model presented as an original public AI project from Rio. Nex-AGI opened a GitHub issue claiming the model is not independently trained, but instead closely matches a 60/40 blend of Nex-N2 Pro and Qwen. They say the model even identifies as “Nex” when the Rio system prompt is removed, and that the weights line up across all 60 layers. Source: https://github.com/nex-agi/Nex-N2/issues/4 This is the messy but valuable side of open source. A big public claim was made, the community was able to inspect it, and now the evidence is out in the open for everyone to judge. That kind of accountability can be uncomfortable, but it is exactly why open models matter. submitted by /u/CryptoMadLab
