A trillion-parameter Periodic Neon moves into the physical lab: post-trained on in-house diffraction data, it beats Claude Fable 5.1 and GPT-6 Astra on analysis
Periodic Neon is a trillion-parameter model post-trained with midtraining and reinforcement learning on data from the company's own labs and deployed to its high-throughput physical labs in Menlo Park to analyze X-ray diffraction results. It outperforms Claude Fable 5.1 and GPT-6 Astra on diffraction analysis, and inference is optimized so the model can be deployed at scale. Its training data comes from physical experiments rather than elastically scalable digital environments.
