Pluralis carries out foundational research on Protocol Learning: multi-participant training of foundation models where no single participant has, or can ever obtain, a full copy of the model.
Node0-7.5B is a permissionless, multi-participant, model-parallel pretraining run occurring over the Internet. Node0 allows participants to collaboratively train a model much larger than any individual could train alone.
Pluralis Research raised $7.6M seed round, backed by CoinFund, Union Square Ventures, Variant and other investors.
