Mirendil-Base reportedly took one researcher 3.5 months and under $10 million in compute to build

Mirendil says one researcher built its first pretrained coding model, Mirendil-Base, in 3.5 months with less than $10 million in compute, including experiments and the final training run. The company says agents wrote most of the code, but the model did not build itself autonomously. Its published code-prediction comparisons are company-run; bneyshabur promised independent evaluations and API access later.
