Apodex 1.1 Reaches the Leading Performance Band on Agentic Work With a 35B Locally Deployable Mini Variant

Apodex 1.1 targets what its authors call working capability, meaning sustained verifiable progress toward a real objective across files, search, and executable code with state maintenance and failure recovery. It scales along two axes: Environment Scaling expands the diversity and verifiability of executable environments, and Agentic Coordination Scaling trains agents to decompose long-horizon tasks, delegate parallel work, integrate asynchronous results, and replan, with a shared execution harness and AgentOS holding task state and provenance. Across finance, scientific research, mathematics, coding, and search it reaches the leading performance band with a substantially smaller model than many frontier systems, and the 35B Apodex 1.1 Mini retains strong capability locally.
