You can have Alzheimer's for 15 years and not know it.

We can finally slow it down. But only if we catch it early.

So we built the earliest test for it. Saccade (YC F26)

[engineer cat 🐈 @MLCatttt]

Introducing Kardashev-0.7, the world’s first trained swarm made of 32 distinct models

Trained with RL for Population Scaling (RLPS), 32 models organically develop specialization & complementary capabilities, delivering frontier performance at:
- 0.007x ~ 0.02x of the inference cost
- 0.03x of the required memory

Civilization advances through different minds specializing and working together. We’re bringing that principle into AI

@BanburyRoadAI, we’re scaling intelligence by model count, toward civilizations of models that learn to build on one another

@MLCatttt @t_ed_li @junyu_r @BanburyRoadAI @speedrun the emergent specialization part is the most interesting to me! especially if the roles aren’t manually assigned. really impressive work, huge congrats to the team!! excited to see where you take this
