Description
Frontier models quietly overrule the documents you feed them. Canonn R1 is a 9B model trained so your context wins: 91.8% on FaithEval-counterfactual vs 73.6% for Claude Opus 5. It answers from the passage, or says it is not there. OpenAI-compatible API.

Could you build this?
No Training or fine-tuning a custom 9B open-weights model to achieve state-of-the-art FaithEval benchmark results requires extensive ML research, high-quality synthetic datasets, and massive GPU compute clusters.
What it would actually take: Requires curating thousands of counterfactual dataset pairs, designing custom RL/DPO or SFT training regimens to suppress parametric memory over context, and distributed model training on GPU clusters (e.g., PyTorch, Deepspeed, Megatron-LM). The hard part is overcoming hallucination and parametric bias without degrading language fluency or instruction-following capabilities. Requires advanced LLM research scientists and substantial compute budgets.
