AI laboratory · Quebec
From wood
to code.
A journeyman carpenter builds AI the way he builds a frame: a plan, tests, something solid. Everything here is tested in the open, and a human holds the controls.

Experiment bays
Each bay is an experiment. It starts as “coming”, moves to “testing”, then becomes “stable”. The lab grows one bay at a time.
