A small lab,
working in the open.
Arkaya Labs is a small research lab building efficient, advanced local AI: intelligence for everyone, on the machines they already have.
Intelligence should be owned, not rented.
Sui juris: in one's own right, under no one else's authority.
The models are open and the GPUs are already on people's desks. We build the software between them, so that useful intelligence runs on hardware you own, answers to you, and keeps working with no signal, no account and nothing to rent.
Who we are.
Who we are
Three engineers who kept running into the same wall: the models were open, the GPUs were on our desks, and the software between them treated our machines as a lesser case. We started with a tuner, found the engine underneath it wanting, and wrote our own.
We work in the open, in small measured steps, and we would rather publish a loss than a story.
Open source
vivace is released under Apache 2.0, with its benchmarks and the scripts that produced them. gait and its journal format follow once a kept gain survives on a GPU.
Contribute
Issues, pull requests and reproductions are all welcome, on the engine, the agent or the tuner. A reproduction that disagrees with our numbers is the most useful thing you can send.
Write to us
For questions, reproductions or contributions: hello@arkaya.si. We read everything and answer what we can.
Six rules.
Kept in the repository and applied to every change, by people and by agents alike.
Skipped is not passed.
Never weaken a test to make it pass.
Numbers are never edited after publication.
Humans own intent, approval and merge.
Evidence outranks narrative.
When unsure, say nothing.
