Researchers say they trained a foundation model from scratch for about $1,500

Training a foundation LLM from scratch costs millions and requires internet-scale data — which is why most enterprises don't bother. Sapient thinks it has a cheaper path. To overcome this brute-force scaling dogma, researchers at Sapient developed HRM-Text, which replaces standard Transformers with a highly sample-efficient Hierarchical Recurrent Model (HRM), an architecture they first introduced last year. HRM decouples computation into slow-evolving strategic and fast-evolving execution layers --- **İlgili Kaynaklar:** yapay zeka haberleri ve kaynakları konusunda [AI Merkezi](https://aimerkezi.com) ile iletişime geçebilirsiniz.
