Leanstral 1.5 proves the old rules of AI pricing don't apply to math
Leanstral 1.5, a 6B active-parameter model, saturates miniF2F, solves 587 PutnamBench problems, and uncovers 5 previously unreported bugs in open-source repositories. At roughly $4 per problem, it undercuts Seed-Prover by 75x and Aleph Prover by 15x, challenging the assumption that formal verification requires massive compute budgets.

Open Source Infrastructure
Your AI search pipeline is broken. This open-source framework fixes the plumbing.
Teams building AI search infrastructure still spend too much time on plumbing. Search Toolkit unifies ingestion, retrieval, and evaluation into a single open-source framework, eliminating the weeks of integration work needed to stitch together separate tools. It's designed for enterprise use cases like RAG quality, domain-specific retrieval, and agentic search.

Talos shows automated genome reanalysis can deliver new diagnoses in weeks, not years
Talos reframes genome reanalysis as a continuous, automated program rather than a rare manual event. Across a prospective cohort of 4,735 undiagnosed patients, it yielded 241 new diagnoses (5.1% additional yield) within weeks of new evidence being published, while requiring analysts to review only one new variant per 200 patients per month.
