Fermisense reports a task-trained 9B open model reviewing e-commerce listings more accurately than the best frontier model they tested, for ~$500 total RL spend.

Shopify built an internal coding agent called River. It generates over half the company's code. And it won't talk to you in private. That last part is the interesting bit. River operates exclusively in public Slack channels, refusing DMs entirely. Every prompt, every response,...
