Three years ago we started working on a stealth project that we weren’t sure we’d ever talk about publicly... until today. Breakthrough: Introducing LFM-Zero: the first foundation model trained on 0 tokens. No pretraining. No finetuning. No data. Instead, we initialize from an implicit probabilistic prior over the underlying data-generating process, allowing the model to converge without ever observing data. LFM-Zero matches or surpasses models trained on 10T+ tokens across reasoning, coding, and multimodal tasks. Turns out that pretraining was just regularization that was holding us back. > Read our Tech Report here: tinyurl.com/lfm-zero
We're open-sourcing BOxCrete, a new AI model for the construction industry. Using Bayesian optimization, BOxCrete helps producers rapidly design concrete mixes with domestic materials, bypassing months of lab work. The results from our data center build in Rosemount, MN: 🚀 43% faster time to full structural strength 🛠️ 10% reduction in cracking risk 🇺🇸 100% domestic material usage We are open-sourcing the model and the foundational data to empower producers everywhere.

unpopular opinion: 16GB is plenty if software engineers actually cared about memory efficiency. chrome eating 4GB for 12 tabs is not a hardware problem its a software disgrace. docker consuming 2GB idle is not a feature its laziness. we live in an era where people optimize every single token to save $0.001 on API costs but happily ship electron apps that eat 500MB to display a todo list. if the industry treated RAM the way we treat inference compute - obsessively measuring every byte - 16GB would feel luxurious. the hardware isnt the problem, the software is @adxtyahq
I’ve seen way too many people on here (mainly rival fans, to be fair) downplaying how good Steven Gerrard was by comparing him to clearly subpar players who aren’t anywhere near his level. Have a little watch of this for a small glimpse into his genius. 🧙♂️
