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

DeepSeek just published the price of a token, and it should make you angry.
From their own DeepInfer docs: 1 cluster serves 155 trillion tokens a day, at $38 of revenue per GPU-hour, and thats at off-peak prices. Their API is $0.30 per million input tokens and $1.20 per million output at peak.
Yuchen Jin did the math: even if they rented B300s at $7 an hour, thats about 82% gross margin. Other estimates go higher.
So cheap AI is not charity and it is not "dumping". At these prices serving a frontier-class model is a very profitable business, if your inference stack is good enough.
Now remember every time a US lab told you that intelligence is expensive. That $200 a month is a fair price. That limits exist because compute is scarce.
Part of that is true. Part of it is a business model built on you not knowing what a token actually costs.
DeepSeek just showed everyone the numbers and gave away the engine. Every inference company can now compete on price with the same software. Thats how AI gets cheap for everyone.
“A single cluster currently serves 155 trillion tokens/day, generating $38 in revenue per GPU-hour (at off-peak pricing).”
Huge flex from DeepSeek. Not only did they open-source their inference engine, but they also open-sourced their revenue numbers.
They didn't disclose which GPUs they're using here, but DeepInfer supports both NVIDIA Blackwell and Huawei Ascend.
Even assuming they're renting B300s at $7 per GPU-hour, that's ~82% gross margin.

Be me, Dutch investor
Netherlands approved 36% unrealized gains tax
WTF does that even mean
Put $1,000 into stocks
Year 1:
• Stock goes to $2,000
• Government: "you made $1,000, pay $360 cash tax"
• MFW I didn't sell anything
• Forced to sell shares to pay
• Everyone else forced to sell too
• Mass panic selling
• Stock crashes to $800
• I have $440 left after paying tax
Year 2:
• Stock recovers to $1,200
• Government: "you made $400, pay $144"
• Forced selling again
• Price drops to $900
• I have $756 left
Year 3:
• Stock at $1,000
• Government: "you made $100, pay $36"
• Smart money has fled Netherlands
• I have $964 in stock
• MFW I paid $540 in taxes
• MFW stock is back where it started (0% gain)
• MFW I only have $460 left
• Lost 54% on a stock that broke even
MFW the government made more money off my investment than I did
Government: "Thanks for the $540! 😊"

I'm a Reserve Manager at a central bank.
My job is buying gold.
297 tons this year.
Quietly.
While we print money.
Loudly.
Gold hit $5,000 an ounce yesterday.
We've been buying since it was $1,800.
That's called "reserve diversification."
Diversification means we don't trust our own currency.
But we can't say that.
So we say "diversification."
The Governor went on television last month.
He said inflation is "anchored."
Anchored means 6%.
Used to mean 2%.
We moved the anchor.
That's monetary policy.
He said the currency is "sound."
Sound means losing 20% of its value.
Per year.
But it sounds sound.
That's what matters.
We bought 45 tons in November.
Poland bought 95 tons.
Brazil bought 43.
China reports 1 ton.
China is lying.
We all know.
Nobody says it.
95% of central banks plan to buy more gold next year.
That's a survey.
We surveyed ourselves.
On whether we trust ourselves.
We don't.
We trust gold.
Citizens ask why prices keep rising.
We say "supply chains."
We say "external factors."
We don't say "we printed 40% of all money in existence since 2020."
That's not external.
That's us.
The Finance Minister asked if gold is a hedge against our own policies.
I said "gold is a strategic reserve asset."
Strategic means yes.
I just can't say yes.
Gold is $5,000 now.
Our currency buys less every day.
Our gold buys more.
That's the strategy.
For us.
Not for you.
You get the currency.
We get the gold.
That's central banking.

This cursed image is high art.
Everything is stolen down to the counterfeit Supreme phone case made in China, stolen from a brand who's entire style is corporate theft of an artist. Everything appropriated. Derivative theft five times removed made in China and sold back to us.
Generations of grift and slopification, a whole lineage of fake. The Somali gets a million dollars to live your American Dream while you wake up and go to a job you hate.
The laminated educational posters on the wall. It says spring from how many springs ago? The neglect. The entropy. The aesthetic of government work and decay in cheerful fonts.
The shock and anger on the Somali's face. The hijab and the fleece. The dissonance of a daycare meant for nurturing and the reality of the fraud and extraction.
She has her phone in her hand recording him in a surveillance Mexican standoff. Everything is a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy. Baudrillard's simulacra.
Warhol said everybody would be famous for 15 minutes but he didn't realize it would be for getting caught. This is American mode collapse. Everything is garbled. The functions have failed in ways we couldn't predict.
Supreme. Hello Spring. Learn to Grow.
It recursively makes you angrier the more you look at it until you start laughing at the sheer absurdity of whatever it is we've built here.

For far too long, ideologues in Europe have led organized efforts to coerce American platforms to punish American viewpoints they oppose. The Trump Administration will no longer tolerate these egregious acts of extraterritorial censorship.
Today, @StateDept will take steps to bar leading figures of the global censorship-industrial complex from entering the United States. We stand ready and willing to expand this list if others do not reverse course.

Imagine waking up every day in 2025, checking your XRP bag, and still believing:
“We’re early. The banks are coming.”
Bro…
You bought a pre-mined banker scam run by a bunch of khaki-wearing geriatrics in a WeWork office, who dump on you monthly like it’s a bodily function.
You are not a crypto investor.
You are a financial abuse victim with Stockholm Syndrome.
Bitcoiners are waging a revolution against central banks, and you’re over here roleplaying as a liquidity provider for Ripple’s exit strategy.
You’re not going to Valhalla.
You’re going to customer service hell where they “open a ticket” and never reply.
🟠 BUY BITCOIN.
Before XRP makes you sell plasma for gas money.

Using three approaches: 1) Historical CAGR (avg. 30% diminishing to 20%): ~$13M. 2) Stock-to-Flow model (scarcity post-halvings): ~$50M+. 3) Adoption models (e.g., Saylor's 29% growth to global reserve): ~$21M. Triangulating, I expect $25 million per BTC in 2046, driven by institutional adoption and supply limits.
