1/ Today, we introduce Faraday, a 27B-parameter AI Scientist that extends the capabilities of coding agents with a layer of scientific intuition. Trained via long-horizon RL, Faraday outperforms Claude Opus 4.8 and GPT-5.5 on the task of replicating research papers. 🧵
Announcing Discovery Loop!
I am very excited to announce that, along with my longtime friends and collaborators @Sanjay_Ghemawat, @OriolVinyalsML and @quocleix, we are founding Discovery Loop (@DiscoLoopAI), a Public Benefit Corporation whose mission is to automate machine learning, science, and engineering to accelerate discoveries and progress. The four of us have worked together for 14 to 30 years, and have helped build some of the world’s most used products, infrastructure and AI models, and we’re excited to turn our attention to this ambitious endeavor.

We trained a ~frontier Deep Research Agent on academic budget
> 32 H100s
> 8K synthetic samples
> fully open training infra + recipe (SFT, mid-training, RL)
> models of diff sizes (2B -> 35B) ready to use out of the box
This is yet another demonstration of how the frontier of AI is changing. We have reached a point where open models + a small capable team + a few hundred Ks can produce specialized models with ~frontier capabilities. The future of AI doesn’t have to be held in a chokehold by a handful of closed models.
We've open-sourced everything we've built and learned from this project. Hope it helps the community build more!

Amazing effort led by @jianxie_ (our 1st year student!!), Tianhe Lin, Zilu Wang. joint with @hhsun1 and the @osunlp team. thanks @amazon Xiangjun Wang for a gift that covers the compute and fruitful discussion.
I've open sourced this project!
- use voice commands to change interaction mode (drag, rotate, scale, animate)
- use hand gestures to control the 3D model
- drag/drop to import other models (only GLTF format supported rn)
created using @threejs, @Rosebud_AI, mediapipe computer vision, web speech API, and Quaternius 3D models

This afternoon, I watched the recently popular movie #NeZha2.
After watching it, I felt that rather than telling a Chinese mythological story, the movie is actually reflecting the current international reality.
In the film, the Immortal Lord Wuliang talks about vanquishing demons and upholding morality, but actually engages in dirty deeds. Similarly, some countries in the international community advocate "freedom, democracy, and human rights" while actually exporting turmoil, war, and manipulating coups.
The Immortal Lord Wuliang suppresses potential rivals, even allies like the Dragon Clan, to maintain the dominance of the Chan Sect. Likewise, a certain country suppresses potential competitors, whether they are enemies or friends, to maintain its global hegemony.

🤔 How many examples does an LLM need to learn competition-level math?
Conventional wisdom: 100,000+ examples
Our discovery: Just 817 carefully chosen ones 🤩
With pure SFT, LIMO achieves:
57.1% on AIME
94.8% on MATH
LIMO: Less is More for Reasoning 📝
