Building a better
tomorrow.
Open AI tools, released to anyone with a GPU and the will to use them. Open weights, open code, no telemetry, no waitlists. Our next release is claire — a Rust-native, local-first coding agent. Subscribe below and we'll send the install line on day one.
Local-first coding agent in your terminal. Rust-native TUI, multi-provider (Anthropic, OpenAI, Z.ai, or anything OpenAI-compatible), single static binary, no plugins. Subscribe below for the install line on day one.
High-fidelity proxy for the 2026 Anthropic Messages API to any OpenAI-compatible backend. Extended thinking, document blocks, streaming tool use, cache control.
Fast, concurrent SFT task generator for distillation. 45+ domains across math, code, science, creative, conversation. OpenAI-compatible. Builds the tasklist-* corpora.
Fork of nanochat with Block Attention Residuals enabled by default. Learned, input-dependent attention over previous block outputs in place of fixed additive residuals.
Tiny ~63M GPT-2 trained from scratch on public-domain Christian scripture. A spare-compute tribute to Terry A. Davis (TempleOS). Not a serious model — that's the point.
Reasoning-focused fine-tune of Qwen3.5-9B trained to produce <think>-tagged chains before answering. Distilled from Claude Opus 4.6 + Qwen3.5 reasoning traces (~12.8k examples). QLoRA, single RTX 5090, ~4.5 hours.
Architecture portability
Frontier weights locked behind custom CUDA kernels are not really open. We re-implement architectures (Nemotron-H, Cascade-2) in pure PyTorch so the original weights load with bitsandbytes, train with QLoRA, and run on a single consumer GPU.
Distillation at home
Reasoning and agentic-coding capability distilled from closed frontier models onto small open weights — RTX 5090, QLoRA, the whole pipeline. Dataset, training script, eval and weights all published together.
Datasets, public and raw
Six tasklist-* corpora generated by taskgen across math, code, science, creative writing and conversation. Apache-licensed code, public datasets, no quality gates. "Unfiltered" is in the name on purpose.
Tools we needed
claire is the flagship — a Rust-native, local-first coding agent that runs against any provider you have keys for. claude-code-proxy, taskgen and nanoAttnRes round out the loop. Built because we needed them; open because someone else might too.
First in line for claire.
One letter every other Tuesday — and a single dispatch on the day claire ships with the install line. What we shipped, what we read, the one thing we got wrong. No hype, no roadmap teasers. Cancel from any line.
