Rnj 1.5 Instruct
Rnj 1.5 is Essential AI’s long-context instruction release, extending the Rnj family from 32K to 160K context and improving repository-level coding. Mid-training emphasizes long-document comprehension and repository fill-in-the-middle tasks. This is a materially updated checkpoint rather than a serving alias; primary artifact history establishes April 2026, while the exact public release day remains unverified. Apache-licensed weights support local deployment and customization. The model card warns of identity confusion and inaccurate factual recall; long generations can be less reliable than long-context comprehension.
