Apodex: open-source deep research agent, 3B active params, near-frontier claims
Chromix_ · reddit · 2026-08-27
r/LocalLLaMA is hosting an Apodex AMA. Per the poster's digging: Apodex is an open-sourced deep research harness and model (GitHub: FrontierAgent, released 3 days ago); Apodex-1.1-mini is a Qwen 3.5 35B A3B finetune with only 3B active parameters. The company's blog claims it performs mostly comparably to frontier models (though the harness used for comparison is unclear), and it can be tried on their site—a notable claim for a 3B-active model.
