Latest "big" release from any of the bigger American lab must have been GPT-OSS-120b I think? Released ~summer 2025, so pretty much one years ago. Doesn't seem like it'll happen by itself, so something either forcing their hand figuratively, or something forcing their hand literally.

Personally I was wishing/hoping for one of the recent Gemma releases to be in the ~100B class at least, but sadly Google is keeping that all for themselves.

NVIDIA-Nemotron-3-Ultra-550B-A55B was released in June 4th 2026 and I think it was the largest open US model until thinking machines' Inkling (975B) was released a couple of weeks ago.

Don't make me add more of my thoughts to the comment, I can still edit it.

Deeply fun "care about improving people's lives" quote on your user page :p

how is 2025 two years ago? GPT-120b is not even close to the biggest recent American release, etc. etc.

Yeah, besides that, the only big other open source US model that was worth looking at was Inkling (975B params), Jul 15, 2026.
