If independent runs confirm the TerminalBench result at 65B, developers get a locally deployable open-weight coding model that challenges much larger systems on one key agentic test. Ricursive Intelligence released Ripple-65B Preview on November 4th, a 65-billion-parameter dense language model that co-founders Anna Goldie and Azalia Mirhoseini built to power the Palo Alto company's AI chip design platform. They are now offering it as a general-purpose open-weight model. Ricursive announced the release [in a thread on X](https://x.com/RicursiveAI/status/2118046765857546733) and [on its Ripple page](https://www.ricursive.com/ripple), saying Ripple is a general-purpose variant of the proprietary model behind its chip design work.… When you purchase through links in our articles, [we may earn a small commission](https://runtimewire.com/affiliate-monetization-standards).
