Sophontic claims its 1× model beats 60× competitors on reasoning evals

Sophontic, a Delaware C-corp founded in 2026, is developing a model that achieves reasoning performance exceeding that of models up to 60 times its size. The company rejects the paradigm of scale, instead cultivating 'geometric density' in the substrate through direct training of the model's internal geometry. Its evaluation method, the 'flip rate,' uses paired perturbations to measure reasoning rather than recall, aiming to prevent models from gaming conventional tests.

We measure reasoning by flip rate — a paired-item test that precludes the surface-feature heuristics most models use to game conventional evaluations.
