| <h2>The original hypothesis</h2> | |
| <p class="lead"> | |
| Orion / Project Prism is an experimental architecture family I call <strong>Transformer 2 (T2)</strong>. | |
| Its goal is deliberately aggressive: <strong>maximum capability, minimum parameters</strong>. | |
| </p> | |
| <p> | |
| The project started from the suspicion that a standard Transformer may spend capacity inefficiently by | |
| mixing several different jobs into the same residual stream and weight system. Persistent facts, reusable | |
| algorithms, temporary reasoning, and verification are not obviously the same kind of thing — so the first | |
| T2 designs tried to give them different homes. | |
| </p> | |
| <div class="flow"> | |
| <div class="flow-item retired"> | |
| <div class="verb">Know</div> | |
| <h3>Knowledge Vault</h3> | |
| <p>Explicit persistent retrieval memory for factual/declarative information.</p> | |
| </div> | |
| <div class="flow-item"> | |
| <div class="verb">Do</div> | |
| <h3>Procedure Banks</h3> | |
| <p>Conditional learned specialists intended to encode reusable transformations.</p> | |
| </div> | |
| <div class="flow-item"> | |
| <div class="verb">Think</div> | |
| <h3>Working State</h3> | |
| <p>A separate bounded stream for temporary computation and intermediate reasoning.</p> | |
| </div> | |
| <div class="flow-item"> | |
| <div class="verb">Verify</div> | |
| <h3>Deliberation</h3> | |
| <p>Recurrent computation that revisits deeper stages instead of always moving forward once.</p> | |
| </div> | |
| </div> | |
| <div class="callout"> | |
| <div class="title">The updated hypothesis</div> | |
| <p> | |
| Persistent knowledge can probably stay distributed. Temporary computation may deserve explicit state, | |
| and reusable computation may deserve explicit conditional pathways. | |
| </p> | |
| </div> | |
| <p> | |
| That sentence is much narrower than the original vision. That is the point. T2 is not one frozen | |
| architecture; it is an iterative research program in which components have to justify the weights, | |
| compute, and engineering complexity they consume. | |
| </p> | |
| </section> | |
| <section id="mini"> | |
| <div class="section-kicker">02 / Generation one</div> | |
| <h2>Mini-T2: separating KNOW, DO, and THINK</h2> | |
| <p class="lead"> | |
| The original Mini-T2 was about <strong>219.1M parameters</strong>. It combined a recurrent/shared | |
| Universal Cortex with explicit Procedure Banks, a Knowledge Vault, a separate causal Working State, | |
| and a recurrent deliberation tail. | |
| </p> | |
| <div class="split"> | |
| <div class="subcard"> | |
| <h3>Core network</h3> | |
| <p>12 shared/recurrent stages, <strong>d<sub>model</sub> = 768</strong>, 12 query heads and 4 KV heads.</p> | |
| </div> | |
| <div class="subcard"> | |
| <h3>Procedure pathway</h3> | |
| <p>3 Procedure Banks, each with 16 experts, top-2 routing plus a shared expert, hidden size ≈1024.</p> | |
| </div> | |
| <div class="subcard"> | |
| <h3>Knowledge pathway</h3> | |
| <p>65,536-slot Vault with product-key retrieval, top-4 reads near stages 3, 7, and 11.</p> | |
| </div> | |
| <div class="subcard"> | |
| <h3>Temporary state</h3> | |
| <p>Separate causal Working State with reads/updates near stages 3, 7, and 11.</p> | |
| </div> | |
| </div> | |
| <h3>Bounded state updates</h3> | |
| <p> | |
| The Working State was not an unbounded additive scratchpad. Its update used gated replacement, which | |
| gives the model a way to preserve old state or replace it with a candidate while keeping the magnitude | |
| controlled. | |
| </p> | |
| <div class="equation">state_new = (1 − write_gate) · state + write_gate · candidate</div> | |
| <p> | |
| A learned read gate later projected this state back into the main residual stream. The first Mini-T2 | |
| therefore implemented the original conceptual split quite literally: <strong>KNOW → Vault, | |
| DO → Procedure, THINK → State.</strong> | |
| </p> | |
| </section> | |
| <section id="mini-ablation"> | |
| <div class="section-kicker">03 / Mini ablations</div> | |
| <h2>Mini ablations changed the story</h2> | |
| <p class="lead"> | |
| One early set of inference-time ablations made the Working State look much more important than the Vault | |
| for that trained checkpoint. | |

| <div class="title">Important causal limitation</div> | |
| <p> | |
| This shows that the <em>trained checkpoint</em> relied heavily on Working State. It does not prove that | |
| the architecture is fundamentally better than a conventional Transformer. A matched model retrained | |
| without the state pathway would be needed for that stronger claim. | |
| </p> | |
| </div> | |
| <p> | |
| The Vault, meanwhile, showed weak and mixed evidence. This was not enough to remove it immediately, | |
| but it was the first sign that the original KNOW/DO/THINK decomposition might be over-structured. | |

| <h2>Nano’s BananaMind result</h2> | |
| <p> | |
| On BananaMind Base Bench 1.1, a 350-example multiple-choice benchmark, Nano reached an overall Elo of | |
| <strong>1041</strong> at 9.99B training tokens, with <strong>56.86% raw accuracy</strong> and | |
| <strong>53.26% weighted accuracy</strong>. That exceeded the older 219.1M Mini model’s 1030 Elo while | |
| Nano itself was only about 134.7M parameters. | |

| Later benchmark scaling was not monotonic: the overall Elo stayed around 1041 at 13.62B tokens and was | |
| around 1019 in the 27B-token era. That does <strong>not</strong> justify the conclusion that later training | |

| The current Orion run is an approximately <strong>2B-parameter T2.1 model</strong> training on | |

| So far the run has reported no allocation retries, no skipped steps, and essentially zero data-loader | |
| wait. This larger model has <strong>six Procedure Banks</strong>. The Vault was deliberately shrunk and | |
| the freed parameter budget reallocated elsewhere, but it was not fully removed in this run to avoid | |
| introducing an extra architectural risk at the same time as the scale jump. | |

| <h2>Working State may not have “arrived” yet</h2> | |
| <p class="lead"> | |
| In previous Orion generations, Working State often became much more important only after the model had | |
| learned enough basic language structure to make use of explicit temporary computation. | |
| </p> | |
| <p> | |
| At ~1.7B out of ~100B intended tokens, the 2B run is only around <strong>1.7% complete</strong>. | |
| The current State ablation effect of roughly +0.8 CE is already meaningful, but the more important question | |
| is whether it grows over the next several billion tokens as it did in Nano. | |
| </p> | |
| <p> | |
| That trajectory will directly influence how much of the T2.2 parameter budget is assigned to Working State. | |
