Film transcript

Every codebase hides one. A retry. A timeout. A customer… charged twice. Born2-9B caught it. And fixed it. Taught by three frontier models. Each one… checking the others. Nine billion parameters. Small model. Serious review. Ahead of Qwen3.5-9B. Ahead of Granite… at three times the size. A fraction of the price. And cache hits? One cent. Up to 150 tokens a second. Served from Europe. Open weights, coming. Born2-9B. In preview now. On screen: an illustrative retry loop charges twice; the review flags a missing idempotency key. Teacher models and preliminary benchmark comparisons appear, followed by API prices and European serving information. The comparison figures, throughput target, sources and limitations are documented in the accompanying announcement.
