It looks like Rio 3.5 397B could've simply been a semi-failed embezzling of funding
Rio 3.5 397B, a claimed advanced LLM, was funded with $100K for training but was found to be a simple merge with Nex N2 Pro and little to no additional training. The model's documentation initially misrepresented its development process, later admitting to a merge but still claiming unspecified further training. This incident raises questions about funding misuse and model authenticity. You should verify model claims and check for potential red flags in documentation and development processes.
Key takeaways
- Received $100K in funding for training but was not developed as claimed.
- Model was a simple merge with Nex N2 Pro, not a trained model.
- Documentation initially misrepresented the model's development process.
