We reject the paradigm of scale.

1× Sophontic

60× Competitors, on reasoning evaluations

Sophontic cultivates geometric density in the substrate to achieve reasoning performance on public benchmarks exceeding that of models up to 60× its size. We have pioneered methods of directly training the internal geometry of the model.

Observed signal

Reasoning as geometry, not mass.

1×: Sophontic model scale
60×: Larger models exceeded on reasoning evaluations
5: Public benchmark rails, paired for perturbation testing
Soon: Prototype model and eval kit release

Methodology

The perturbation paradigm.

We measure reasoning by flip rate — a paired-item test that precludes the surface-feature heuristics most models use to game conventional benchmarks. The pair is the unit of measurement, not the item. Reasoning, not recall.

If a proof depends on a fact, the answer follows.

Change the load-bearing fact. The answer must change.

A compact reasoning model.

Our first prototype demonstrates that reasoning need not scale with size.
