  1. Periodic trains Neon on its own lab data: 55.3% success on FrontierXRD at lower cost than frontier models

    Periodic trained Periodic Neon on X-ray diffraction data from its own labs, reaching a 55.3% success rate on FrontierXRD, its hardest internal evaluation set, against an initial 2.7% for Kimi K2.6, the open-weight model it post-trained. The evaluation covers 134 samples from its labs that human experts take hours to resolve because of their complexity and ambiguity; Neon surpasses frontier models at a lower cost per analysis and is now deployed in its labs analyzing experiments in the search for better superconductors and magnets.

  2. 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.
