            <h2>An Open Letter<br>from SupraLabs.</h2>
        </div>

        <div class="post-content">

            <p>Over the past few days, SupraLabs has been mentioned in a public discussion regarding small language models, scaling laws, and training methodology. We'd like to clarify our position.</p>

            <hr class="divider">

            <p>Before anything else, we want to make one thing absolutely clear: we have great respect for Lane and the work being done at Glint Research. At no point was our intention to disrespect Lane, Glint Research, or their research. What began as a technical discussion about model scaling and training methodology unfortunately became much more personal than we ever intended. From our perspective, it was simply an exchange of technical opinions, and we sincerely hope it remains that way.</p>

            <p>We'd also like to acknowledge that one of our own comments during the discussion was poorly worded. Referring to a benchmark as "fake" was imprecise. What we intended to criticize was the comparison methodology, not the integrity of the evaluation itself. Comparing a merged checkpoint against a single checkpoint is, in our view, not an apples-to-apples comparison.</p>

            <p>That said, this was never the core of the discussion.</p>

            <hr class="divider">

            <p>Our disagreement was not about SLERP, model merging, or whether training a small model on massive amounts of data is an interesting research direction. We support experimentation, unconventional ideas, and open research.</p>

            <p>The actual point of disagreement was much simpler.</p>

            <div class="callout">
                The statement that a 1M parameter model trained on 1 trillion tokens will become a "100M killer" is, today, a prediction, not an experimental result.
            </div>

            <p>Could it happen? Perhaps. Would it be exciting if it did? Absolutely. But until benchmark results, reproducible evaluations, and independent validation exist, we believe such statements should be presented as hypotheses rather than established conclusions.</p>

            <p><strong>Research advances by testing ideas, not by assuming their outcomes.</strong></p>

            <hr class="divider">

            <p>If future experiments demonstrate that these approaches achieve the proposed performance, we will gladly acknowledge those results. Scientific progress benefits everyone. Likewise, if our own assumptions are proven wrong, we will update our views accordingly.</p>

            <p>At SupraLabs, we believe technical disagreements should remain technical. Open discussion, reproducible experiments, mutual respect, and intellectual honesty are what ultimately move open-source AI forward.</p>

            <p>We sincerely wish Lane and everyone at Glint Research success in their experiments. We hope their research produces valuable insights for the entire community, and we look forward to seeing the results.</p>

            <p>Thank you to everyone who continues to support open, respectful, and evidence-driven research.</p>
