Abstract:Current large language model development relies on massive, often non-permissible datasets, creating a high barrier for researchers committed to open-source and ethically sourced data. We introduce Mimir v1, a 1-billion-parameter language model based on the Hierarchical Reasoning Model (HRM) architecture, that is trained from scratch and delivers highly competitive performance for English and sets a new state of the art for Danish using only permissible post-training data. Trained on a mixture of 161 datasets, Mimir v1 outperforms the original HRM-Text 1B and competes with larger frontier models like Qwen 3.5 4B and Gemma 4 E2B, tested across 20 benchmarks for English, Math & Code and Danish. The model is available on the Hugging Face Hub: this https URL
