This is a finetune of Qwen-3.5. Interesting to see this coming from the government of Brazil.

Yeah, it is interesting to me that it is coming from the _city_'s government. I've seen sovereign AI things at the country level, but this is the first municipal one I have seen.

I've met some of the IT team of the city government of Rio de Janeiro years ago, before LLMs were a thing. They were already doing state-of-the-art data science projects. Glad to see how far they've gone.

Am I reading this right? They surpassed SOTA (Qwen 3.7) by finetuning an older model (Qwen 3.5)?
