🚀 Abacus Desktop 0.1.0 is out. The abacus coding agent, now in a window: your projects and sessions, the agent's work as it streams, the diff, a terminal, and a browser it can use. Open source. macOS, Windows, Linux. Any model. abacus.empero.org

There’s such a long way to go in training optimization. Everyone is looking at architecture and data, no one is looking at learning itself.

New from Empero: PageGram: Multi-Head N-gram Memory at the Read Cost of a Flat Table. Engram-style n-gram tables cost 16 random flash reads per token. PageGram reads 2, and matches or beats both flat and Engram-style tables in loss. 📄 alphaxiv.org/pdf/2610.pagegr… 🧵 1/7

pee is stored in the weights
Replying to @Sauers_
interesting that gemini thinks the weights are the vulnerable part.

yeah its cool and all but im still sad Spark is not OSS yet
MUSE WONDER this is the culmination of over a year of research and infrastructure work in msl since we originally shipped muse spark in april, we have continued to scale our models across pre-training and RL, now reaching the frontier 🏆 see our model's improvements on the artificial analysis index:

i cant lie abacus desktop is my favorite agent GUI

in a due time we will be able to ship models with 1T total params that run on your phone

New from Empero: Identity on Demand: Multi-head Gated Value Residuals (MGVR). A drop-in change to attention that reaches the same loss in 16–22% fewer steps: 1.15–1.23× effective compute for +0.2% parameters. 📄 alphaxiv.org/abs/2610.multi-… 🧵

Many of you have reached out wanting to contribute to Empero. Until now we had no good way to say yes. So we built one: the Empero contributor program. Research, data & evals, systems, community and partnerships. empero.org/hiring

running proper large scale RL made me realize how inefficient post training still is

Your coding agent shouldn't stop when you leave your desk. 📱 abacus 0.6.5 puts your terminal sessions on your phone. Watch it work, approve a diff, answer its questions or steer the next step. Your machine stays in charge. github.com/empero-org/abacus

Training your own model shouldn't take a research team. 🍺 Today we're releasing Homebrew, an open agent that brews AI models with you. Tell it what you want and it handles the rest: picking a base model, preparing data, safe parameters and training. github.com/empero-org/homebr…
