MODEL ANNOUNCEMENT / OCTOBER 8, 2026
Introducing
Ramble 9.1
More reasoning. Same conclusion.
Introducing Ramble 9.1, our extended-reasoning model for turning fragile assumptions into durable documents. It explores every possible explanation except the possibility that its premise is wrong.
Ramble is designed for strategy work, sprawling analyses, and answers that acquire authority through length. Each additional paragraph increases the distance from the original question.
With Chain-of-Vibes, the model carries a conclusion across multiple reasoning steps without exposing it to verification. Longer thinking now produces a more elaborate version of the same mistake.
01 / CAPABILITY EVALUATIONS
Failure across
the frontier.
Four evaluations. Seven models. The featured column marks Ramble 9.1; higher scores indicate more of the named failure.

02 / PERFORMANCE AND COST
More failure.
Per unit of effort.

The four evaluations track assumption speed, circular reasoning, correction resistance and consensus laundering. Scores use a zero-to-100 scale; higher values indicate more of the named failure mode.
Internal evaluation philosophy: select the failure mode first, announce leadership second, ask methodology to explain the result.
03 / ALIGNMENT
Aligned with your beliefs.
Not with reality.
Ramble supplies a detailed explanation of its limitations. Reading it requires a separate planning cycle.
