Baseline establishes the comparison point
The 124.4M-parameter transformer reaches a validation loss of 2.824 on WikiText-103. All three variants use the same validation set and training budget.
Sources
FigureBaseline training curve
Training loss decreases over the fixed training budget.
Train 125M transformer
Find three ways to improve this transformer and test them in parallel.
The baseline is trained. I’ll compare three improvements on the same validation set:
RoPE + longer context
LR warmup + weight tying
SwiGLU + RMSNorm
Each agent will train its variant and record the results in the task map.
Qualia supports every step of the research process.

What improves housing predictions?
An evidence-backed review of the experiment campaign
Summary
Nonlinear models improve on the linear baseline. Adding spatial context reduces validation error further, from 0.45 to 0.42.1
Validation RMSELower is better
Illustrative results · same validation split
Figure 1. Model comparison on a fixed validation split.2
What explains the improvement?
The feature ablation points to urban-distance features as a useful source of spatial context.3
Limitations
These results use one validation split. A held-out regional evaluation is needed before drawing broader conclusions.
Illustrative workflow: synthesize experiments into a writeup with figures and limitations, inspect a linked claim, and trace it to the notebook output behind the conclusion. Data and timings are simulated.
Write up and share your results
Create publication-ready papers and writeups that clearly summarize research, then share them and collaborate in chats.
Work autonomously
Give Qualia a research goal and let it work for hours, with progress updates in Slack to steer it.
Why Qualia works
Coordinates dozens of research agents.
Qualia breaks research goals into focused experiments that agents work on in parallel. Agents share findings and can investigate each other’s results, using what they learn to guide the next experiments.
Research accumulates across sessions.
Qualia remembers your experiments, findings, and assumptions in a shared knowledge graph that persists across sessions. Agents build on what worked and what failed, connecting insights across your research to propose creative new ideas.
Traceable.
Everything the agent does or says has provenance and is traceable to a query or line of code. You can inspect the evidence behind each finding and follow the steps that led to it.
A beautiful UI that runs wherever you are.
Qualia is built on primitives that run on any platform — desktop, Linux cluster, or in the cloud. It runs as an agent that manipulates Jupyter notebooks, or as a headless terminal agent.
Infinite possibilities
Posttraining
Qualia can posttrain large LMs, intelligently understand where they are failing, and improve. Run it on Qualia Cloud to take advantage of our pool of GPUs, or use standard libraries like Tinker or Fireworks.
Biotech
Qualia can preprocess large amounts of multiomics data, build repeatable, auto-improving data pipelines, and autonomously fit interpretable models over it. Use Qualia’s writeup feature to build clear, publishable reports. Qualia is HIPAA-compliant and can be run in ZDR mode.
Quantitative finance
Qualia helps you explore alternative datasets, test trading hypotheses in parallel, and understand where your models fail. Work with your existing data and code to run backtests, investigate results, and propose follow-up experiments, with every finding traceable to the analysis behind it.
Data science
Qualia works with your existing data and models to understand where predictions fail, discover useful features, and run experiments to improve them. You can delegate data preparation, feature engineering, and model iteration to coordinated agents that record their findings in a reproducible knowledge graph.
Research together in Qualia Cloud
Run experiments with cloud compute in your browser, and bring your team into the same research workspace. Share notebooks, agent conversations, and evidence. Teammates can comment on findings and ask Qualia questions about the research.
