Progress in open models is keeping Big AI labs up at night, and I'm here for it! We have a brand new open-weight multimodal model optimized for long-horizon tasks. This model is really good at something: it can work on tasks that keep evolving over time. • 280B total parameters, but only 16B active • 512K context window • Understands text, images, and audio • Strong reasoning, coding, and tool use But the best of all: the model learns and adapts to new information! Imagine you start running an agent today to solve a problem, and while it's working, you get new information that changes the initial conditions, or you change your mind. The agents you run today don't have issues with short tasks and goals that don't change, but reality is messy, and that makes it hard for long-horizon agents to succeed. The new dots3-note Preview model introduces TEMPO. TEMPO is a new reinforcement learning technique that lets the model periodically pause and critique its own progress. Basically, from time to time, the agent asks itself: "Am I getting closer to the goal, or am I wasting my time?" The same model switches between actor and critic. The actor works on the problem. The critic looks at the current state, reasons about how much progress it has made, and determines what should happen next. TEMPO gives the model feedback along the way. This is huge for any agent that can work on long-horizon tasks without wasting its time.
