We will continue to offer Zero Data Retention for frontier models. As AI takes on longer, more autonomous work and delivers greater value to businesses, safety systems also need to identify risks across related interactions. To help address those risks, we're previewing https://t.co/PTEVBS4p3Q
Serving large language models cheaply increasingly means shipping models that are both structurally compressed to a fraction of their parameters and quantized to 4 bits. Together these steps degrade reasoning, mathematics, coding, and long-context behavior enough to require a recovery, or healing, stage before deployment. The default recipe, quantization-aware training (QAT), re-fits the compressed, quantized model to hard labels; in our pipeline it converged slowly and collapsed past its peak. We adopted Quantization-Aware Healing (QAH) instead. Because a structurally compressed model is never independently trained at full precision, its bfloat16 checkpoint is a distillation-recovered approximation of the original; QAH distills the 4-bit student directly from the original, uncompressed model. On a GPT-OSS 120B to 60B to MXFP4 pipeline, the QAH student matches or beats its bfloat16 source on 7 of 9 benchmarks at roughly 4 times less weight memory and half the teacher's parameter count, and is released open-weight as Hypernova-60B. Against a matched QAT baseline it reaches a comparable peak about 7 times faster and stays stable under continued training, without hand-tuned early stopping. We also report deployment lessons, including a large, reproducible quality gap between distributed-training backends. Our aim is a recipe deployable without a multi-week hyper-parameter search.
Small language models are usually built like large ones and then squeezed onto a CPU afterwards. We did the opposite: we fixed the target first, one user, one token at a time, 4-bit weights, ordinary CPU, and chose the architecture to suit it. The result keeps full attention in only 6 of its 18 blocks. The other 12 use short convolutions whose memory is two timesteps wide no matter how long the conversation gets, so two thirds of the network never re-reads a growing cache. Trained from scratch on 59.9B tokens, the model scores 47.31 on a five-task benchmark against a bar of 42.20 that was fixed before training began. It beats GPT-2 124M, Pythia-160M, OPT-125M and GPT-neo-125M, all trained on three to six times more data, and exceeds MobileLLM-125M's published score despite that model seeing a trillion tokens. Validation bits-per-byte is 0.8685. To check the architecture rather than the training recipe, we trained a conventional all-attention model of the same size on the same data, and wrote down the winning condition before scoring either. The hybrid won the chosen quality metric by 0.81%, matched it on downstream tasks, produced a 6.3% smaller 4-bit file, and decoded 1.76x faster at 2048 tokens of context, 2.08x against an external model of similar size. In every measurement the speed advantage is near zero at an empty context and grows with length, which is what the mechanism predicts and what a merely leaner model would not show. A simple bandwidth calculation predicts only 1.17x, so memory volume alone does not explain the gap. We also report what did not work: an unmitigated 4-bit quality cost, roughly half the convolution channels ending up inert and impossible to remove, and a vocabulary larger than this model size warrants.
