What the lab is looking at
Questions across models, retrieval, hosting and workflows. Each one is a question, not a finding.
- Model distillation: compact-model tradeoffs across task quality, latency and cost.
- Model training: the data, holdout tests and review gates that domain adaptation needs.
- Image and video: provenance, consistency and review for generated media.
- Evaluation tracking: public evaluations compared against declared models, tasks and conditions.
- Agentic systems: how tool-using agents prepare actions while keeping approval boundaries.
- Chat and support: source-grounded conversations for support, sales and internal operations.
- Small language models: compact local models against larger references on specific tasks.
- Hosted models: hosting, privacy, observability and throughput tradeoffs.
- Task models: narrow models for repeatable workflow steps with clear failure handling.
From question to evidence
Every proposed experiment defines its measures before results are shown. The method records task quality, reliability, latency and review load, so a recommendation can be judged against a real operating need.
- Research: explore the architectures, training methods and model behaviors that matter for a real task.
- Prototype: small, controlled trials to test a hypothesis quickly.
- Review: a method moves forward only after its evidence and approval gates are defined.
- Document: methods, operating conditions and limitations are written down once the evidence is ready.
