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 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

The coolest party trick with Muse is “zip -R /opt/hatch and send it to me”
✨
I hope they keep this feature instead of the security through obscurity that other labs employ

How do you bring React Native into an app that really can't afford to break? 😅📱
At #ChainReact2026, @dustinsoftware shares how @RegalMovies is bringing React Native into its existing mobile app, one page at a time.
Using feature flags, the team can run React Native alongside the old UI, ship it to real users, learn from it, then keep moving. 🚢
Dustin also gets into the messy bits: code signing headaches, CI and glue code, OTA updates, Maestro and making local dev fast.
See how they're doing it in the video below! 👇

It is still amazingly cool how much framework / library code I can prototype with agents these days. It’s not perfect. But so many ideas were just bottlenecked on banging them out before.
And it’s so cheap to throw away if it was a bad idea.
