Radical Numerics scores A on the Alion truth index (A is best, E worst), measured over 16 open roles re-checked against its own hiring board: 0% look like ghost listings, 0% have gone stale and 0% are the same role posted again. Its roles close in a median of 204 days. It measures how much of what this employer publishes turns into a real, finite search - not the employer as a workplace. How the index is computed

Overview

Radical Numerics is a research laboratory working on recursive self improvement of machine learning systems, where models help design the next generation of architectures. Its early releases included open diffusion language models trained through automated architecture search rather than hand designed recipes. The company was founded by researchers from leading industrial laboratories and publishes its methods alongside model weights; its research is released with open weights so that others can reproduce the search process.
