SUMMARY: Covenant Labs delivered the 17th episode of TGIF at the NeurIPS conference in San Diego, highlighting major progress across Templar, Basilica and the broader Covenant 72B initiative. The brief emphasized how Templar unlocks decentralized pre-training at a scale traditionally reserved for hyperscalers, earning strong interest from researchers and industry partners.
Basilica’s relaunch also introduces a more efficient TAO Flow-aligned compute model, while an early checkpoint of Covenant 72B will soon be available for public testing. With rapid advances in training infrastructure, supply-scaling and model convergence, Covenant Labs positions itself as the leading team pushing decentralized pre-training into real-world adoption.
