Deep Principle releases open-weight Hydrogen-1.0 and says it beats GPT-6-Astra at science

Deep Principle co-founder and CTO Chenru Duan announced on November 2nd that the Hangzhou startup released Hydrogen-1.0, an open-weight scientific research model post-trained on Z.ai's GLM-5.3 using Deep Principle's internal lab records and discovery trajectories. Duan said Hydrogen-1.0 scores 38.3% on FrontierScience-Research versus 33.3% for GPT-6-Astra, and the company priced the weights at GLM-5.3 rates so researchers can rerun the FrontierScience-Research and GPQA-Diamond claims.

Co-founder Chenru Duan says the GLM-5.3 post-train, trained on Deep Principle's own lab records, scores 38.3% on FrontierScience-Research against GPT-6-Astra's 33.3%.

Why it matters #

Hydrogen-1.0 tests whether a materials startup's own lab records and discovery trajectories are a training advantage that general labs cannot copy from public data. Because the weights are open and priced by the company at GLM-5.3 rates, other researchers can rerun the FrontierScience-Research and GPQA-Diamond claims and judge whether post-training on full experiment cycles produces better scientific decisions, not better answers.

Deep Principle co-founder and CTO Chenru Duan (@chenru_duan) introduced Hydrogen-1.0 on November 2nd. It is the Hangzhou startup's first open-weight model for scientific research, built by post-training Z.ai's GLM-5.3 on the company's internal scientific data, laboratory records and discovery trajectories.…
