Ricursive releases Ripple-65B Preview, an open-weight agentic coding model

Ricursive Intelligence has released Ripple-65B Preview, a general-purpose open-weight language model derived from the internal system that powers its AI chip design platform. According to the company, the model was pretrained on 12 trillion tokens, handles context up to 1M tokens, and uses a dense Transformer architecture rather than a mixture-of-experts design. Ricursive reports a TerminalBench 2.1 agentic coding score of 80.52, which it describes as U.S. open-weight state of the art, ahead of several far larger open-weight releases. Ripple-65B Preview is downloadable on Hugging Face and served through Together AI, GMI Cloud and OpenRouter, with Fireworks going live later. Ricursive puts its total research and development cost at $32 million.
