Foundation-model lab · Vienna, Austria

We train foundation models on the physics, language, and imagery of your industry.

Then we hand over the whole build — the checkpoint, the data it was trained on, and the eval report — compressed to run self-hosted on a single datacenter GPU. No third-party APIs, no per-token bill, no weights you don't own.

What ships to you
  • Checkpoint~20 GB, quantised — runs on one L40. Yours to keep.
  • Training setThe corpus, geometry, or labelled frames it learned from.
  • Eval reportBenchmarked against frontier models on public tasks and unseen regimes.
  • RunbookDeployment on your infrastructure — Kubernetes, air-gapped if needed.

One method, three domains

Pick the line that sounds like your job.

The same method — adapt a proven base, never train from scratch — applied to medical text, to fluid dynamics, and to a factory camera feed.

Language

Private domain LLMs

Reasoning models fine-tuned on your corpus, plus the chatbots and semantic-analysis products that run on them.

Physics

Flow surrogates

Operator models for CFD regimes a foundation model never saw — without erasing what it already knows.

Vision

Detectors without labels

YOLO detectors adapted to your objects, cameras, and process — trained in simulation, shipped with the labelled set.

How it works

Adapt a proven base — never train from scratch.

Four steps behind every checkpoint we've shipped, whether the domain is medical text, fluid dynamics, or a factory camera feed.

Step 01

Start from a proven base

A frontier open checkpoint brings the general capability, so your data doesn't have to.

e.g. DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-32B, Poseidon, a YOLO backbone
Step 02

Adapt it to your domain

QLoRA and GPTQ for language, operator learning for physics, synthetic frames for vision — without erasing what the base knows.

your data stays on your infrastructure
Step 03

Evaluate in the open

Every build is benchmarked against frontier models on public tasks and on regimes it has never seen.

accuracy, latency, and cost per query on your hardware
Step 04

Ship the whole build

Checkpoint, training data, and eval report — compressed to run self-hosted on a single datacenter GPU.

~20 GB · no third-party APIs

Evidence, not brochures

Six platforms in production, all running on our own checkpoints.

We don't ask you to take the method on faith. These serve real users today.

The practice underneath

Somebody has to run the clusters the models land on.

The delivery engineering behind every build we ship — available on its own if that is what you need.

Technical notes.

Different corpus, geometry, or label set?

The public checkpoints prove the method. Your regime is a conversation away.

Tell us the domain and the hardware you want it to run on. We'll come back with a scope, a benchmark plan, and a delivery date.
