Rishabh Agarwal(@agarwl_):Genius is 99% perspiration, and 1% inspiration. This is also true for how we trained Periodic Neon to beat frontier models, like Astra and Fable 5.1, on a scientific capability our labs care about. We trained Neon with reinforcement learning on our lab data using only 1.3K GPUs, orders of magnitude less than Astra. As we scale our labs and compute, we expect our models to tackle much more complex scientific problems.
