Actual Science

Machine learning with the physics built in.

An independent lab working at the seam between physics and machine learning. Open weights, contributed at the algorithm layer.

Lyra

A physics specialist. Lyra is a language model fine-tuned to be the collaborator you want at the whiteboard. It reads the problem, checks the work, and explains the result. It runs on open-weight bases through QLoRA, trained on arXiv, mathematics, and the scientific literature.

Specialization buys a stricter standard. Lyra is judged the way physicists judge each other, on whether the answer survives checking. The metric is verified-correct rate. The failure it is built to kill is the confidently wrong answer.

Eris

Standard models embed tokens in a flat vector space and leave the geometry for the network to discover by brute force. Eris builds the geometry in: curvature, symmetry, and critical points drawn from quantum mechanics, general relativity, and Morse theory.

The bet is that meaning has a shape, and that choosing the right shape up front hands the model structure it would otherwise spend its budget learning. Eris exists to collect.

Approach

Frontier labs scale. This lab does something different. It works at the algorithm layer, on open weights, in the open. Small and specialized, aimed at problems where being right is worth more than being large.

We build the models that solve the problem and show the proof.
