Neolab Sapient Intelligence has just released HRM-Text-1, a 1B parameter reasoning model built on the Hierarchical Reasoning Model architecture. It is comparable to 2B parameter Qwen models and the 7B parameter Olmo 3, and surpasses Gemma3 4B! And only using 40B tokens of data! This is a base model.

The neolab is betting that automating routine computer tasks will soon outpace coding as AI's biggest use case.

what was the neolab

today I discovered someone from a neolab wanted to engage my services making a promo video maybe, but due to the idiosyncrasies of how twitter works all this happened three months ago because I never received notification of those dm requests. rip professional videographer abeliansoup, 2026-2026

I would say that counts as a neolab (speaking as someone who works at a neolab that does harnesses)

Another neolab! This one with the, highly unusual, not at all common in the industry, goal of superintelligence. Very unique. At least their website is cool.

no, that’s literally the point of a neolab. take a very small area of research and explore it

no huge funding rounds, no absurdly tight competition, just explore one thing that will move the needle

yeah, as a tiny neolab, it would be kind of dumb to pretrain their own base

What does it mean when a neolab appears and Stross jumps to 60%

What does the term "neolab" mean? I just started seeing it today

prismml.com New neolab with a cool logo and a focus on on-device models. Their first release is a *1 BIT* model competitive with similar models around the same size (in GB, not parameters) and pushes the Pareto frontier for size/performance

Large models can't fit on smartphones. Datacenters can't sustain them. PrismML is building ultra dense intelligence to solve both.

The 23yo functionally was poached by another neolab over the past 2 weeks, and the similarities between that process and the footy transfer market have been entertaining to watch.

(Obviously no lab-to-lab fees!)

"And this is Mr. President 🇨🇿 how our neolab trains self-improving LLM agents using self-play and game-theory to push massive token throughput, and get new scaling laws..."

And then Petr comes back with the only acceptable follow-up: "Nádhera. But can you explain to me why this does not collapse?"

live de hoje adianta por motivos de desânimo, mas domingo tem NeoLab com joguinho novo

arXiv preprint coming soon → these are exactly the kinds of optimal algorithms we’re using our neolab that our pushing out multi-agent systems to the next level 🔥🔥🔥
