Research lab · Self-deployed frontier models
Frontier models. Your hardware.
Make self-deploying open-source models cheaper, easier and faster. We choose, adapt and deploy the model around your workload and the cards you can afford.
For product teams using paid model APIs in production, operators running agents around the clock, and companies whose data must stay on premises. For teams already running open models or preparing to deploy them on their own hardware or cloud account.
It runs on a computer you own.
Measured, not claimed
Recommendations include the measurement record and setup.

Research you can inspect
The lab researches engines, quantization, pruning, speculative decoding and Hebrew models. Published experiments describe their own setup and limits; they are not promises about your deployment.

Compression is what lets a model fit a smaller card. In our code replay, compressed and uncompressed runs showed similar first-draft agreement, a speed-technique measurement, not answer quality. The measurement record has the setup and results.
What fits your hardware?
A model fitting in memory is only the start. The choice also depends on answer quality, request size, simultaneous work and the cost of operating the system.
Inputs

Output
- A measured recommendation and a deployment scope.
Does the move pay?
We compare your API bill with the full cost of running a suitable open model on your hardware or cloud account. The proposal covers adaptation, deployment, infrastructure, operation and support, with setup and running costs shown separately. It shows whether the move saves money. You control the deployment, data and logs.
From examples to a system you can run
Each stage has a clear purpose, from the first comparison to handover and continuing support.
Choose
Define the task and compare model and hardware options.
Adapt
Test fine-tuning, architecture and engine changes where they address a measured gap.
Deploy
Install, test and document the system on your hardware or cloud account.
Support
Support coverage and handover are set out in your proposal.
Our engineers keep supporting the systems they build, under agreed terms. About the lab →

We will work out what to measure and what to build.
