Yep.

> "HB11 Energy’s research demonstrated that its hydrogen-boron energy technology is now four orders of magnitude away from achieving net energy gain when catalyzed by a laser," reads the press release. "This is many orders of magnitude higher than those reported by any other fusion company, most of which have not generated any reaction despite billions of dollars invested in the field.

> HB11 claims is a "world-first 'material' number of fusion reactions by a private company

So they have a result which is 10x better than they thought will be, but still way lower than stellarator etc.
