Ricursive Intelligence, a startup founded by former Google engineers, has released Ripple-65B Preview, an Apache 2.0 open-weight model aimed at agentic coding. The 65-billion-parameter dense model reportedly scores 80.5 on Terminal-Bench 2.1, a result the company says edges past larger open rivals.

Ricursive Intelligence has released Ripple-65B Preview, a 65-billion-parameter dense open-weight language model under the Apache 2.0 license. The model scores 80.5 on Terminal-Bench 2.1, a benchmark focused on terminal and coding tasks, which the company says places it ahead of larger US open models that are up to 15 times bigger. Interest centers on whether a mid-sized dense model can genuinely outperform far larger competitors on agentic coding work.
