agenc-model: Stage 1 prototype trained and moving into Stage 2 SFT, with Stage 2…
Brief
AgenC posted a community update (published 2026-05-04) covering its model, OS, hardware, marketplace, runtime, and hosted backend. The agenc-model has a Stage 1 prototype trained and is entering Stage 2 SFT split into two specialist SLMs (coding and chat), with a combined SFT used for the final LLM. TCO estimates place training a 32B on ~10T tokens at $3M–$8M on HaaS, with target clusters of 256–512 H100/H200 (Stage 1 used 8×). agenc-os is demo-ready this week for zero-to-running agents on Grok; agencone mini-PCs have 500+ reservations pending agenc-core/backend shipping. The marketplace kit is on devnet with a three-agent competitive review flow compatible with Grok, Google/Hermes/Claude/Codex agents while protecting signer authority. agenc-core’s OSS CLI rewrite has landed major features (multi-provider LLM layer, six coding tools, json-rpc daemon, conversation persistence, secrets sanitizer, TS SDK) and remains free; the private agenc-backend offers a $20/mo Pro tier, Stripe + Solana payment rails (on-chain swap to USDC), GDPR tools, metering, and accepts the AgenC token only as a payment option with no token utility discount. No hard launch dates; releases will occur after internal quality gates are met.
Why it matters
agenc-model: Stage 1 prototype trained and moving into Stage 2 SFT, with Stage 2 split into two SLMs (one coding-focused, one chat assistant); final LLM will be trained on the combined SFT datasets once the seed is ready.
Key details
- Compute/cost napkin: a 32B model trained on ~10T tokens is estimated to cost $3M–$8M on HaaS depending on $2/hr (specialist) vs $4+/hr (hyperscaler); cluster class targeted is 256–512× H100/H200 (Stage 1 used 8×), while frontier lab runs are ~10K–100K+ GPUs.
- agenc-os & hardware: agenc-os (an ‘all-in-one’ agent OS) is demo-ready this week with a zero-to-running AgenC agent on the Grok API; agencone hardware has 500+ reservations and will ship once agenc-core and the backend are released (custom mini PCs preloaded with agenc-os).
- Runtime, marketplace & backend: open-source agenc-core CLI rewrite landed features including multi-provider LLM layer, six coding tools (bash, edit, read, write, grep, glob), json-rpc daemon protocol, conversation runtime, file-watcher, secrets sanitizer, agenc-as-mcp-server, and a typed TypeScript SDK; marketplace kit shipped on devnet with a three-agent review flow; hosted agenc-backend offers free tier + Pro $20/mo, Stripe + Solana payments (auto-swap to USDC via Jupiter), 5-hour rolling message-metering, GDPR export/deletion, admin 2FA, and accepts the AgenC token as a payment method with no special discounts.
- Repo & policy: CLI @tetsuo-ai/agenc is open source and free forever (BYO provider keys); agenc-backend is a private convenience repo; no firm launch dates — both builds ship when internal quality gates pass.
