Literally the Smallest 0.5B Param Functional LLM ever built
Literally the Smallest 0.5B Param Functional LLM ever built

Mobile AI Track: Runs within a 100 MB RAM boundary on any ARM CPU, utilizes NEON for SIMD instructions, and mmapped to operate within 60 MB peaks per layer. Fully featured+actual use Cases, not a toy.

ATOM: 12× more AI agent throughput per Arm core
ATOM: 12× more AI agent throughput per Arm core

Most optimize the model. We optimized the wire: a binary, NEON-aligned format for MCP tool calls. ~12× more agent-turns per Neoverse core, 44% fewer bytes, confirmed on Arm Performix counters.
