There is no inevitability in AI. We all have agency in what comes next:
Path 1: closed-source APIs, concentration of power, and a future decided by a handful of people in Silicon Valley and DC
Path 2: open-source AI, where everyone gets to participate, own, and build together, including orgs like the city of Rio.
Pick your path anon!
SITUATION DETECTED: The city of Rio de Janerio has post-trained a model.
Based on Qwen 7/2, Rio 3.5 Open 397B adds SwiReasoning on top of the base Qwen model — a framework that dynamically switches between standard chain-of-thought and latent-space reasoning, guided by entropy-based confidence signals, so the model only "thinks out loud" when it needs to and otherwise reasons silently in hidden space for better token efficiency.
