An open, community-driven collective quietly focused on efficient, practical approaches to capable systems.
We are building one thing: the smallest possible AI model that delivers the highest possible performance. No flash. No fanfare. Only ruthless distillation and careful evaluation.
Minimal footprint. Maximal surprise.
Exploring compact, compositional world-model architectures that can reason, plan, correct themselves, self-learn, and build internal maps of reality.
Small theories. Big leaps.
If you're deeply curious, love silent deep work, and prefer building real systems, you’ll fit right in. Ideal for people who are well settled, FIRE’d or close, and want to spend their free time pushing the frontier of practical intelligence.
No noise. Just meaningful work.
Have ideas, want to collaborate, or just curious what we are quietly building? We welcome contributors of all backgrounds. Hit us up with your questions.
