HRM 1B

Sapientinc released HRM-Text 1B Base and its training code, and the paper claims competitive performance against 2–7B open models while using 100–900x fewer training tokens and 96–432x less estimated compute, with training on 16 H100 GPUs taking about 46 hours and costing about $1,472.

Why it matters: HKR-H/K/R all pass: HRM-Text 1B has concrete low-cost training numbers and released code. Capped at 80 because this is a Reddit item and the efficiency claim still lacks independent evaluation.
