@willcb can attest - setup looks neat and silent enough that I can't hear sitting in the adjacent desk when @willcb does his thing and whispers hissing parseltongue with codex.

we just shipped adaptive concurrency to prl main, making it (to the best of my knowledge) the first oss rl framework to dynamically adjust inflight rollouts to maximize throughput during the entirety of an rl run
We ran the largest open experiment on how frontier models do AI research.
100+ autonomous runs across 10+ models, sandboxed on 8xH200s for up to 8 days, iterating on the nanoGPT optimizer track.
Best runs closed 82% of the gap to a record built by dozens of humans over months.
It was a pleasure to collaborate with the talented @mixedbreadai team to push a sota agentic search with our prime rl stack
RL is truly beautiful.
Even the biggest model don't adapt well to new harness and new tool out of the box, but with RL you can get the model to outperform extremely well at a faction of the cost
Everybody spending meaningfully amount of money on inference will eventually need to postrain
Introducing Prime Agent:
A self-improving RLM harness for coding and long-running autonomous tasks.
Designed to be both token-efficient and expressive through programmatic tool calling, context as a variable, multi-agent messaging, and a self-modifiable harness state.

I agree, though I think methodically done synthetic data with light human touch does scale significantly better. Ironically, you'll need post-training researchers to do that.
Just a warning to any would-be founders trying to get into RL/data:
You’re signing up for pain. It’s not scalable. Or durable.
You’re trading man-hours for a 30-40% margin. Revenue only scales with human experts/eng talent.
Tell me the staff headcount, I’ll tell you the rev
This is actually a model that punches above it's weight. It definitely seems like it's in a very nice spot on the pareto cost-perf curve.
On a lot of benchmarks that you'd generally care about, it does reasonably well and looks like a pretty adaptable model to post-train.
Inkling-Small is comparable to Inkling at a quarter the size. Weights are open, fine-tunable on Tinker today. Look forward to seeing what people make with it.
