"western values" such as "the people overthrowing a tyrannical oligarchy" is gonna look extremely Maoist when you draw it all the way out

Introducing Arete-27B: Qwen3.8-27B, post-trained to reinforce Western values.
Chinese open models are currently the strongest available, but they ship with state-aligned behavior in the weights. We built an 803-prompt eval across seven value categories, including freedom of expression, democracy, and privacy, and measured how often a model adopts China’s party line.
After fine-tuning on roughly 53 million tokens, Arete-27B's propaganda rate fell from 22% to 1%, in line with the Western models we tested. Its Hermes Bench score shows no significant performance tradeoffs.
The values in an open model are one fine-tune away.
Our eval, weights, and training data are available now along with the full blog post: nousresearch.com/arete

For the Linux kernel, Torvalds says, “we’re not going to make stupid rules that say ‘you can’t use tools for X’”.

Closed source is dead.
REA lets Claude Code or Codex take apart any app, all the way down to the binary, and explain exactly how a feature works.
- Native apps, Electron apps, websites, APKs, firmware, even smart contract bytecode
- Shows the evidence for every claim
- Then builds its own version of the feature
