Philosophy / What guides the work

Keep people
in the picture.

Our research questions and software builds share a starting point: technology should support human judgment. These principles guide what we investigate, how we explain results, and what we hope to make available.

01 / Principle

Human judgment comes first

AI should help people inspect possibilities and make informed decisions. We want tools whose limits are visible, so people can decide when to use them and when to question them.

02 / Principle

Let evidence shape the story

Start with a question and be willing to change the answer. Publish methods, explain uncertainty, and give a failed experiment the same careful attention as a promising one.

03 / Principle

Build in the open

The aim is to share code, evaluation methods, and the decisions behind the work. An open-source release should help others understand and reproduce a result, with licensing and data constraints made clear.

04 / Principle

Efficiency should widen access

Smaller models can make local compute more practical. Measure memory, speed, and quality together so reduced resource use serves an actual human need.

Ambition needs a test.

Questions about cognition and reasoning motivate the work. They do not establish a model's capabilities. A roadmap describes what we intend to investigate; a result needs evidence.
