§ An applied AI research lab

The applied layer above foundational models and their harnesses.

Foundational models carry architectural constraints by design. We operate at that layer - augmenting the model and the harnesses it runs within.

Why the lab exists

Frontier models are necessary, not sufficient.

Foundational models alone do not constitute production systems. Persistent memory, multi-agent coordination, autonomous tool use — these capabilities are engineered above the model layer. We develop them inside operating companies, where the constraints are observable and the outcomes are dated.

CCX, one of the lab's releases, was selected from over 100,000 applications to the Anthropic Built with Opus hackathon — shortlisted to 500 entries and ranked 4th overall. The work ran alongside the engineering teams behind the model.
