As of Oct 2, 2026, Laminar's flow-1 is an RL-trained model that finds hard-to-spot failures in agent traces, matching GPT-6-sol detection quality at 23x lower cost on its benchmark.
Laminar released flow-1, a model for understanding agent traces, trained with reinforcement learning to identify hard-to-spot failures and explain why they happened. On Laminar's benchmark, it matches GPT-6-sol in detection quality while being 23x cheaper, per the company. The goal is to make it affordable to investigate all production traces continuously instead of sampling. flow-1 runs inside the company's Signals agent, which treats the trace as a repo and each span as a file.
