Here is the Hyperon website.
https://hyperon.opencog.org/

There is an 8 hour video from the AGI-23 conference that I didn't watch.
There are also links to 5 papers (plus one broken) for papers written in
2021 to 2023 mostly about the mathematical properties of their MeTTa
programming language. There are some links to their GitHub repository
containing a bunch of toy programs written in MeTTa. There are several
embedded YouTube videos that were "unavailable". There are links to
Discord, Telegram, their YouTube channel (empty) and Twitter (last updated
in 2023).

What I did not find were any benchmark results or any evidence that Hyperon
can do anything useful such as understand or generate text or images. There
is no knowledge base or language model. MeTTA is apparently supposed to be
a wrapper around a weighted probabilistic graph structure basically like
OpenCog's AtomSpace.

It's as if progress stopped around the time that the first LLMs like
ChatGPT came out. Now the work has apparently moved to
https://singularitynet.io/ using actual language models. They are also
selling crypto.
