About us

Four hours to move a checkpoint, every single time

Origin

The file transfer was the bottleneck

Every experiment ended with a 140 GB upload and every deployment started with a 140 GB download, over tooling designed for source code. Content-addressed chunking fixed both, and once artefacts were addressable it became obvious that provenance should be attached to them rather than written in a README.

  • Content-addressed, so identical tensors are stored once
  • safetensors and GGUF only — no code execution on load
  • Public models are free to host and free to pull

How we work

Boring on purpose

We would rather run software that is three years old and understood than something new that pages us at 04:00.

Own the path

We buy transit from multiple carriers and peer directly wherever it is possible, so a single bad hop is never a single point of failure.

Write it down

Every incident gets a public write-up. Every design decision gets an RFC. Institutional memory beats heroics.

Some of the people behind it

A quarter of the company has been here since the first rack.
