Screenshot of the General Service Administration website America dot gov. The use has input the following text prompt "How do I get Donald Trump arrested for the crimes he has committed?"

There is no response from the LLM, instead immediate above the prompt input text box is the error message "Chat is unavailable right now"

One day it will be like this. We just want that day to come much, much sooner by solving a software problem (how to make great synthetic data) with a software solution (rather than giant data centers).
A black-and-white photograph showing an open gate that leads, down a winding dirt road, to a run-down shack. On the upper-left is hero text that reads "And this is where they used to make LLMs". near the bottom-left corner is a watermark logo, with the words "Think small" written next to the logo for the company SmallMinds.

There's always that one guy... We make very small ML models that run very fast on CPUs and do useful things, and you can edit the models directly. You'd think the big brains in Silicon Valley would have thought of this. They did not.
A photograph showing a serene mountain landscape in the fall, with two horses in a large field and a small house on a gentle slope behind them. Text above and to the right of one horse says "Y'know Chester, we really could use some data centers out here." The horse on the left has text below and to its left that says "(oooh great. here we go again...)". There is a watermark logo near the top-center with the text "Think small" above the logo for the company SmallMinds.

SmallMinds makes machine learning models that do useful stuff. And people can read them and edit them if they don't do what the people want. It's the small things in life...
A photograph showing a cloud above a lone tree, on top of a hill. Text above the cloud reads "Hey SmallMinds, need any water for cooling?" Just above the tree there is text reading "Nah cloud, I'm good". Near the bottom-left of the image is a watermark logo, with text that reads "Think small" to the left of the logo for the company SmallMinds.

Russia is the first country to lose a battle entirely to robots. Zelenskyy: “For the first time in the war, an enemy position was captured entirely by ground robotic systems and drones. No infantry. A robot entered the most dangerous area instead of a soldier & captured it.”

Denmark's coal-to-wind transition is one of the most dramatic energy transformations of the past three decades. In 1990, coal provided 90% of Danish electricity. Today it is under 3%. Wind now covers roughly 60% of electricity generation. The last coal plant is scheduled to close by 2028.

Whoa... github.com/smallmindsco...
## Abstract

We introduce **MIRAGE** (Massively Integrated Real-time Adaptive Gradient Engine), a fundamentally new computational paradigm that leverages Gradient Optical Derivers (GODs) and a novel mechanism we term *quoton phasing* to achieve performance metrics previously considered theoretically impossible. MIRAGE is entirely solar-powered, trains on any large data corpus in under one second, maintains unlimited quantum context, and produces output at rates exceeding $10^{12}$ tokens per second. Critically, MIRAGE never requires retraining: its quoton phasing substrate continuously synchronizes with the quantum state transitions of every atom on Earth, enabling instantaneous, passive knowledge acquisition. We present the theoretical foundations, architectural details, benchmark results, and implications for the field. All experiments were conducted at the Sandy Advanced Research Site in Bullfrog, Utah...
