# 1,000 Minds guide

How to use the hosted lab. Not internal engineering notes.

- [How it works](/how-it-works.md)
- [How to use the lab](/docs/using.md): Sign in, optionally save a Cerebras key, write one problem, pick size and depth, then watch the population run.
- [What each feature means](/docs/features.md): Population size, quick vs balanced, hosted trial vs your key, and what happens when you click a mind.
- [How web search works](/docs/web-search.md): Scout before the run, assumption checks on finalists, and click-a-mind search versus deep research.
