    This is a finetune of Qwen-3.5. Interesting to see this coming from the government of Brazil.

      Yeah, it is interesting to me that it is coming from the _city_'s government. I've seen sovereign AI things at the country level, but this is the first municipal one I have seen.

    I've met some of the IT team of the city government of Rio de Janeiro years ago, before LLMs were a thing. They were already doing state-of-the-art data science projects. Glad to see how far they've gone.

    Am I reading this right? They surpassed SOTA (Qwen 3.7) by finetuning an older model (Qwen 3.5)?

      Correct. They theoretically updated the open weight version to the capabilities of the latest closed weight one.
