The Founders Blog

Dispatches from inside the studio. This blog is our lab notebook made public: how we push quality up while pushing cost down, how far the open source models can really be taken, and what changes when the frontier is reserved for the moments that earn it. The bounds of what open source can do are expanding daily, and we test them here first, on our own work, with receipts.
