Apodex 1.1: 35B Open-Source Model Matches 1T-Parameter Systems on Agentic Tasks
Div_pradeep · x · 2026-08-28
Apodex 1.1 is a new model family designed to scale agentic intelligence for professional work. The developers claim that its 35B open-weights model delivers performance nearly matching trillion-parameter frontier systems on complex agentic tasks.
Key features include:
- Frontier-level Intelligence: Capable of handling complex professional work, scientific research, financial analysis, and deep search.
- Asynchronous Agent Teams: Can break down complex tasks, coordinate multiple agents in parallel, and continuously integrate findings, allowing users to step in and guide the workflow.
- Local-first: Focuses on local deployment with practical Agent Team capabilities.
The model emphasizes step-by-step reasoning and verification to produce "verified briefs" rather than simple chat replies. Open weights are available on Hugging Face, and the FrontierAgent framework is on GitHub.
