Holo4: powering generalist computer-use agents

Publisher preview

Holo4 is our new series of agentic models. It comes in two sizes: 27B dense and 35B-A3B Mixture of Experts. Both are available on the H Models API. We are also releasing an updated version of Holotron 3: Holotron4 Nano. Holo4 builds on our previous model and interacts with software through any available interface: GUIs, code, MCP and APIs. It scores well on academic benchmarks, but we built it for real business workflows. It was trained through supervised and reinforcement learning on a large set of environments and tasks, including…

Solving Math’s Greatest Problems Was an Art Form. Then Came AI

Publisher preview

From Suno composing uncanny elevator music to Tilly Norwood delivering customer-service-inflected one-liners, artificial intelligence has rattled creative industries. You can add math to the list after OpenAI said that, using thousands of agents, it had solved a decades-old puzzle known as the Navier-Stokes existence and smoothness problem. âThe artists and the musicians have already gone through this,â says Juspreet Singh Sandhu, a mathematician at Colorado State University. Despite what timed high school exams might have you believe, mathematicians arenât focused on getting the right answer as fast as possible. In…

The Next Evolution of AI Is Learning From Your Dodgy Gaming Skills

Publisher preview

With the twirl of a thumbstick, squeeze of a trigger, and press of a few buttons, even an unskilled player can dance their way through a 3D video game environment. A British startup is wagering that straightforward sequences like these contain a trove of information that can be used to train new artificial intelligence models. There is a growing belief in corners of the AI industry that large language models will ultimately be limited by their inability to navigate the physical world. Trained only on words, LLMs are perhaps ill-equipped…

Publisher preview

Thoughtful Things says Engram is a ‘field recorder for latent space’ and circuit-bending tiny AI models. Thoughtful Things says Engram is a ‘field recorder for latent space’ and circuit-bending tiny AI models. Music startup Thoughtful Things has just launched the Kickstarter campaign for its first instrument, Engram. It’s a sampler and groovebox that uses AI to mangle incoming audio and even hallucinate completely new sounds. This isn’t Suno in a box, though. This isn’t a “push-button, get-song” device, aimed at creating something that sounds ready for top-40 radio. It’s about…
