Bleenk Is Now Powered by Its Own Model

We have some exciting news to share.

Bleenk is now powered by its very own in-house model: Bleenk 123B.

While building Bleenk, we experimented with many strong models. We even tried to make some of them act like Bleenk. But something always felt missing.

We started calling it Bleenkity 🙂

So we decided to build our own model.

Why We Built Bleenk 123B

Bleenk is meant to help people work with real software projects — not toy examples.

That means:

• Navigating large codebases

• Understanding how files relate to each other

• Making thoughtful changes across multiple files

• Using tools instead of guessing

To do this well, we needed a model designed specifically for agentic software engineering, not just code completion.

Bleenk 123B was built with this goal in mind.

What Makes Bleenk 123B Different

Bleenk 123B is designed to:

• Use tools reliably

• Explore large repositories

• Apply consistent multi-file edits

• Reason over longer tasks

It’s optimized for real development workflows — the kind that happen in production codebases, not just single prompts.

Open by Default

Bleenk 123B is completely open source.

You can already run it locally using Ollama or explore it on Hugging Face.
Soon, it will also be available via the Robi Labs API and will power the Bleenk platform as its main model.

We believe openness is essential for trust, learning, and community-driven improvement.

Built Together

For a small team, building a model like this feels like a big step.

We’re grateful to everyone who tested early versions, shared feedback, reported issues, and believed in what we’re building. Bleenk 123B is a result of that collective effort.

This is just the beginning.

Let’s keep building, together 🤍
