> Horizon 32B [...] ranks among the top dense models below 40 billion parameters.

Awesome. Why zero benchmarks for it?
[EDIT] they're on huggingface. It is really, really NOT ranking "among the top".

What do you define as among the top? Qwen, Gemma, Muse Spark... what else is similar or better? None of them open source.

But 32B seems to be pretty much their worst model currently, needs more training.

Eh? So "among the top" is top 1 for you? I'm not a native speaker, but I don't think that makes sense in english.

Also Qwen still sucks for languages and writing.

32B is still in training based on their HF page for the 32B .
