Open-weight development
Help train the next open-weight model
Hosted API revenue funds open-weight releases. This campaign accelerates training and lets experiments run continuously instead of waiting on cloud budgets.

Why fund this?
API supports open weights
Hosted API revenue pays for production infrastructure and funds open-weight releases when model work transfers.
Local GPU removes rerun costs
The last full AWS run cost $540. Owned hardware makes failed runs and ablations cheaper to repeat.
Faster experimentation
Continuous access means more validation runs, tighter feedback loops, and fewer pauses between promising changes.
Commitment
What happens after retraining
If the retraining improves validation metrics, the model will be released publicly. If not, findings will still be published.
Donations here go toward open-weight model R&D hardware only. API infrastructure is paid for by API customers.
Training details are documented in Engineering Background Removal. More context on the solo-founder setup is in About.
