# FINAL-Bench/Darwin-180B-RSI-R3

Recursive self-improvement (RSI) is the core of this line. Mixture-of-experts, 180B total (512 experts, 10 per token). Context: 256K tokens (config). License: qwen-community-1.0. Vendor-reported: "Darwin is VIDRAFT's measurement-driven reasoning model family: 50+ official models, 400+ community derivatives, and two places in the GPQA Diamond top 3 (Darwin-180B-RSI #1 · Darwin-397B-ZTC #3)." Vendor-reported: "Earlier Darwin generations grafted the best-performing expert/FFN blocks from other strong models onto a base backbone; the RSI line adds a new ingredient: the model's own verified work."
