📈Results from our 3B parameter model How well can a small, open-weight language model succeed when using lightweight tools without huge infrastructure? Our 3B model achieved near-frontier reasoning performance on synthetically generated health queries – and is small enough to run on a laptop.

We need to spend way more on adaptation to climate change. None of us can predict the future, but it’s 100% certain that the climate we have today is the best any of us will ever experience. As we continue to emit CO₂, the world will become more dangerous and chaotic. We have to prepare for that.
