      Agree, and both are on the front page. Also, Show HN is usually for your own project, but this appears to be a blog post about someone else's project (albeit "a good friend").

    While it's not perhaps clear to me that this is a true Show HN, I enjoyed the writeup and it's good to see our German colleagues across the pond taking a good shot at this. I also appreciated the brief description on the Merlin-Arthur protocol - seems like a clever way to try to tackle the "I don't know" problem.

    A blog post is not a Show HN topic.

        The author did not make this model though, they used Claude to write a blog post about it.

    This is not a Show HN

    The thing to note here, besides the transparency and the fact that it’s actually a good model that also works well on coding and agentic tasks, is that it’s the first release by a team formed less than a year ago, with a strong focus on iteration velocity. There’s more to come.

    disclaimer: I‘m part of the training team, happy to answer any questions

      Please don't copy-paste comments - it makes merging threads a pain! (and indeed the temptation to copy-paste is indication that a discussion needs merging)

      p.s. It's a great comment! no problem on that level
