LAD - Learnable Advantage Density
LAD - Learnable Advantage Density

LAD predicts whether RL data will improve a model before costly training, using only a few rollouts per task, no gradients, to deliver cheap, accurate lift forecasts where costly proxies fall short.

Tethys - The Price of Discovery
Tethys - The Price of Discovery

With infinite compute, what is knowledge worth? We measured it: stripped of semantic clues, an LLM needs ~12–20× more inference to rediscover natural law—a price that falls to zero as compute scales.

$LLM
$LLM

We introduce a hedge fund run by a fleet of small LLMs that write their own trading strategies as code and ship them in milliseconds. Tap to buy in, watch it beat typical buy-and-old in real-time.

Team Emoji
Team Emoji

Emoji-to-emoji diffusion: a low-dimensional proxy for text that reasons in parallel, not word-by-word. A 328M model that tops the frontier at emoji infill—and scales with compute.

DistEvaL
DistEvaL

DistEvaL is an evaluation framework for AI agents that automatically identifies where an agent is inconsistent, and turns those inconsistencies into usable training data that helps re-train the agent.
