Starting today, Psyche will train a number of new models in parallel, all aimed at creating useful, novel open source AI . Our initial training run on testnet verified that we can train models over internet bandwidth at significant parameter and dataset sizes. By both measures, our Consilience 40B run was the largest distributed pre-training run ever . Though we have hit some important milestones with this run, more than anything Nous strives to produce high quality intelligence. While we're happy to have reached this milestone for provability, Nous has one mission: to open-source and distribute the world's best intelligence. In that spirit, we're moving from provability to performance , as we begin our efforts to pre-train, post-train, and RL, state-of-the-art open source models. Since the launch of the Psyche testnet we've made substantial improvements to the codebase, including full trainer abstraction , which will allow us to train arbitrary models and move beyond pre-training to supervised fine-tuning (and eventually reinforcement learning). …
