Mirendil's New Lor Platform Pretrains AI Coding Model for Less Than $10M

Mirendil is building a research platform called Lor that coordinates hundreds of autonomous AI agents to write software and conduct scientific experiments over multi-day cycles. The system allowed a single researcher to pretrain a new coding model from scratch in 3.5 months using less than $10 million in compute. The startup recently closed a $1B Series A funding round led by Kleiner Perkins and Clearlake.
