Perceptron (1960) is an AI model developed by Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory (United States), first published in March 1960. It works in the vision domain, on tasks such as image classification. It counts among the frontier models: the systems trained with the most compute of their moment.

Training it took an estimated 7.2×10⁸ FLOP of compute (estimation method: hardware). The model has 1,000 parameters. It was trained on roughly 100 datapoints.

The reference paper has 394 citations. Epoch AI rates the confidence of this record as speculative.
