Mirendil announces Mirendil-Base, a from-scratch pretrained coding model built by a single researcher in 3.5 months with under $10M of compute including all research, experimentation, and the final run. Framed as "pretraining at scale without a pretraining team," the approach reportedly shows promising results scaling to larger models — a step toward frontier AI development by individuals.
