Mind Lab Opens Mint Recursive Post-Training to Enterprises Building Industry-Specific AI Models

Mind Lab’s Mint Recursive covers benchmark design, data, post-training, inference and deployment in one workflow, with specialist training starting at $1,000

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Mind Lab (mindlab.im), the AI research lab focus on continue learning and posttrain, is making its Mint Recursive platform available to enterprises that need AI models trained for their own industry. Mint Recursive provides enterprise model post-training that turns a company’s expert experience into model capabilities the company owns, for organizations across industries such as pharmaceuticals, finance, the public sector and gaming.

Starting from a shared benchmark

A general-purpose model is a starting point, not a finished product. Mind Lab begins each engagement by building a benchmark with the customer, one that defines the task goal, what correct behavior looks like, the mistakes that come up most often and the acceptance line a model has to clear. Data development, LLM post-training and deployment then run in a single loop, so each iteration is measured against a standard the customer helped set.

Lower costs and three ways to work

Cost is often what keeps teams from training their own models. Mind Lab combines LoRA post-training, shared base models and distributed optimization, so fewer parameters are updated and less compute is spent.

The company reports that GPU costs on shipped projects have fallen by more than 90%, and specialist training starts at $1,000. Customers can choose base models from the GLM, DeepSeek, Kimi, Qwen and MiniMax families and deploy in private, VPC or hybrid environments.

Customers also decide how much of their own team to commit. Mind Lab’s forward-deployed engineers (FDEs) can run the benchmark, data, post-training and deployment end to end. Teams that define their own model, data and configuration can hand scheduling, training and delivery to the platform’s automated training. Teams that want full control can write their own loss functions and training loops, while the lab provides clusters, trajectory sampling, weight sync and inference.

Research behind the platform

The platform grows out of the lab’s work in reinforcement learning. Mind Lab was among the early teams to run end-to-end LoRA reinforcement learning on trillion-parameter mixture-of-experts (MoE) models. When the lab introduced Mint Recursive in September, it also released Macaron-V1.1, a 752B-parameter agent model post-trained from GLM-5.3, with open weights. Moving from Macaron-V1 to Macaron-V1.1 took two weeks on the platform. Across 60 UI tasks, first-attempt delivery success rose from 71.67% for GLM-5.3 to 96.67% for Macaron-V1.1.

In healthcare and life sciences, for instance, Mind Lab supports literature retrieval and evidence review, drug discovery and R&D intelligence, and medical chart quality control. Its shipped work in this area covers 27 quality-control indicators and more than 8,000 physician-experience traces.

“An enterprise’s most valuable training signal is the judgment of its own experts,” said Chen Kaijie, Founder of Mind Lab. “That judgment lives in the reviews, corrections and decisions a general model never sees. Post-training is how it becomes part of a custom AI model the company owns. It doesn’t need to start as a big program. It can start with one real task.”

Enterprises ready to build proprietary AI models can start with one real task and contact Mind Lab to define the benchmark for it.

About Mind Lab

Mind Lab is an AI research lab focused on LLM post-training. Its research centers on experiential intelligence, the idea that models should keep learning from real-world experience. The lab developed Mint Recursive, a platform for post-training and inference. It also developed the Macaron series of agent models and has released Macaron model weights as open source on Hugging Face. Learn more at https://www.mindlab.im/ .

LEAP Group Relaunches HumanView, a Growth Intelligence System Built to Explain Why Customers Behave the Way They Do

Reimagined from the ground up, HumanView pairs statistical modeling with expert analysts to turn millions of real-world customer signals into business decisions

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LEAP Group today announced the relaunch of HumanView, its growth intelligence service. The new version has been rebuilt from the ground up and now has a dedicated home at leapgroupnetwork.com/humanview.

HumanView analyzes what customers say and do across social platforms, e-commerce sites, review platforms, search behavior and user-generated content, including signals from Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, Meta, Amazon and Walmart+ that general AI tools cannot always access. Because the data reflects unprompted, real-world behavior, it avoids the response bias built into surveys and focus groups.

The service works in three layers. HumanView captures signals at scale, decodes millions of records through validated statistical models such as regression, correlation and clustering, and then relies on experienced analysts to interpret the patterns. Clients receive clear, human-validated insights instead of another dashboard.

“Machines find the patterns. Humans find the point,” said Alan Gilleo, CEO at LEAP Group. “The first version of HumanView showed us how much customers reveal when nobody is asking them questions. This version is built to explain why they act the way they do, and to put those answers in front of everyone making decisions, from product to service to marketing.”

HumanView focuses on three areas:

Growth Intelligence: customer motivations and how people perceive a brand and its competitors

Market and Category Intelligence: product pain points, service friction, unmet needs and competitive gaps

Audience Intelligence: new segments, positioning opportunities and gaps in the market

Every model is designed and validated by data scientists and benchmarked before it informs a recommendation.

LEAP Group is a boutique marketing agency holding company with offices in Louisville, Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Chicago. Guided by the belief that brands should “Market Less.

STEPHEN A. SMITH ADDRESSES WHITE HOUSE DINNER ATTENDANCE, REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO HBCUs AND PROTECTING CORPORATE INVESTMENT IN BLACK EDUCATION

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stephen A. Smith, media mogul, New York Times bestselling author, and proud 1991 graduate of Winston-Salem State University, is addressing the public discussion surrounding his decision to attend a White House dinner with President Donald Trump, emphasizing his commitment to the long-term financial stability of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

For Smith, the decision was rooted in a commitment to institutions that have educated generations of Black leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, and public servants.

“I will always advocate for HBCUs and the students whose futures depend on them,” Smith said. “My reason for attending the White House dinner was to discuss the challenges these institutions face in securing long-term funding and to make the case that corporate America must continue to invest in them.”

Smith acknowledged federal support through the FUTURE Act while expressing concern that political tensions surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) could discourage private companies from supporting HBCUs. He maintains that these institutions deserve sustained corporate partnerships, philanthropic contributions, and public investment.

“If we truly believe in free-market capitalism, businesses should be able to support educational institutions and charitable causes without fear of criticism or repercussions,” Smith said. “HBCUs have made extraordinary contributions to this country. They deserve sustained public and private investment.”

Ashley Christopher, Esq., Founder and CEO of the HBCU Week Foundation, recognized Smith’s advocacy and decision to engage with the administration.

“Stephen A. Smith has been a powerful advocate for HBCUs, using his platform and influence to shine a national spotlight on our institutions,” expressed Christopher, “His continued support of HBCU Week helps advance our mission of connecting students with life-changing educational opportunities, and we are proud to have him as our ambassador.”

Since Smith became an HBCU Week Ambassador in 2019, the initiative has facilitated more than 15,000 on-the-spot college acceptances and raised and awarded more than $150 million in scholarships, according to the HBCU Week Foundation.

As public discussion continues, Smith is emphasizing the importance of ensuring HBCUs have the resources and partnerships needed to educate future generations and expand opportunities for students.
