Private AI R&D building constitutional systems from first principles.
Built from scratch — original tokenizers, randomly initialized weights, attributed public pretraining text, and founder-led constitutional design. Material results include the failures.

Behavior defined before training, measured against frozen tests with independent review, and published either way — failures included.
