Research

Applied work on small models, local hardware and agents that act.

Three questions we are paid to answer, and one we are not.

Local inference

How much teaching fits in an open model

Lesson plans, notice drafting and translation on leading open-source weights, hosted on hardware we operate. We measure usefulness per watt, not benchmark scores.

Agents that act

Screenshot plus hierarchy, then a tool call

A vision model sees a frame and a compacted UI tree each turn, then taps, types or scrolls. The interesting failures are perceptual, not linguistic.

Integrity

Detecting copied homework from a photo

A similarity pipeline over uploaded images that survives crops, filters and rotations, and reports a signal for a teacher to judge — never a verdict.

Not our work

Training frontier models

We buy that capability by the credit when a student genuinely needs it, and spend our own hardware on the work that must stay private.
