No one (actually) working on open source is surprised by this release. For months,
@reflection_ai engineers have been down in the trenches contributing to projects like transformers, vLLM, SGLang, TRL, and OpenEnv. Go check the commits.
I'm super excited to see an open lab form an identity for itself that is low on tweets, high on commits; low on tokenmaxxing, high on efficiency.
As an MLE working in open source, it is so fucking cool that companies like this exist, and we all just need to soak in what is coming.
