A community for people in tech

A place to
belong in tech.

People who take an interest in what you’re building, help you work through a question, and share what they know.

Builders, learners, and people finding their footing are welcome. We’re especially curious about AI and agentic systems, with room for work across technology.

There’s more than one way in

Start with something small.

01

Ask a question.

Bring something you’re trying to understand, whether it’s a new tool, a design choice, or your next step in tech.

02

Share the unfinished work.

Show what you’re trying, what happened, and where you’re stuck. You don’t need a polished demo.

03

Take an interest.

Try someone’s project, offer feedback when it’s wanted, or help answer a question. Listening counts, too.

The Learning Hub / Free

Learn how modern AI really works.

Free books and short animated lessons for working engineers, built from the Lab’s real experiments. Read a chapter, download it as a PDF, or watch it as a few short videos.

How Modern AI Models Work, Book I of From Models to Custom Silicon, with Dabble the duck and Flit the moth

What we’re building / Open source

Built in the open, tested in the Lab.

Try one, open an issue, or bring results from your own hardware to the Discord.

v0.2.1 released

fxbot

Your bot, built and configured how you want it. Local first, with only the add-ons you choose.

In development

Small Model Arena

Small models, measured the way people really run them. Every quant against its full-precision original.

The Lab / Open research

The Lab behind the projects.

GPUs old and new, three DGX Sparks and benches of small devices, in one room. Thermite, fxbot, tensorless and Small Model Arena are run, tested and measured there, and what we learn goes into the Learning Hub.

In the Lab now

Model servers
3 DGX Sparks
GPU server
8 data-centre GPUs
Drives
Thermite, fxbot, tensorless & SMA

Good company for your curiosity

Bring what you’re working on.
Or what you’re wondering about.

You don’t need a project or Lab access to take part.
