Primer is an active research program exploring how intelligence can continue developing after training.
Our mission is superintelligence. We believe continual development may be one of the mechanisms required to get there. Primer is our experimental platform for studying that path.
We evaluate capabilities under frozen protocols, preserve negative results, and distinguish internal benchmarks from external validation.
The progression
Learning. Development. Beyond.
- 01Learning
Can the system acquire knowledge generated after its original training?
Demonstrated in internal evaluations - 02Memory
Can verified knowledge persist through later learning?
Demonstrated in internal evaluations - 03Composition
Can previous learning become a useful building block for harder new learning?
Demonstrated in internal evaluations - 04Development
Can earlier learning make future learning more powerful, autonomously?
Demonstrated in internal evaluations - 05Generalization
Can the learning architecture extend across broad domains and concept classes?
Active research - 06Compounding intelligence
Can learning and improvement compound beyond human capability across broad domains?
Mission
Method
Ambitious mission.
Conservative claims.
Post-freeze
Test knowledge generated after checkpoints are frozen.
Verified
A model output is not automatically considered knowledge.
Persistent
Learning should survive beyond one interaction.
Falsifiable
Negative results matter.
The mission is superintelligence.
The research standard is evidence.
