01 — Mission

We build language models efficient enough to run on hardware you own, and we release the weights, the code and the datasets that produced them. Latest: a full-parameter distill of Qwen3.8-2.4T into 9B / 4B / 2B, and a GDN-aware 27B Ridge GGUF at 11.7 GiB. The open-weight Qwythos family — 9B and 27B, 1M-token context — has passed one million downloads on Hugging Face. Everything we ship is Apache-2.0.

02 — How we work

We own the stack end to end: rethink generates the reasoning traces, SFTSuite orders them into curricula, microverse searches architectures before we commit a training run, and FTPO fixes failure modes without a retrain. Two next-generation in-house models are in pretraining; we announce models when the weights are ready to download, not before.
