Notes

Notes from the workshop.

Short pieces on how we choose, train, test and deploy models for companies, written from the work itself.

An oil painting of an assay office: an assayer tests a gold bar on a touchstone beside a brass balance, a small modern flash drive among the weights.

How to check a fine-tuned adapter before it ships

A finished training run is not a finished model. Four questions to answer before an adapter goes into your environment, and what should travel with it.

An oil painting of a cabinetmaker measuring an empty alcove with a brass-tipped rod before building a clock to fit it, a modern laser measure on the floor.

Decide where the model will run before you choose it

The best model on a leaderboard can be the wrong model for you. Settle where it runs, what it may touch and who looks after it, then choose.

Every commission begins with a conversation.

Tell us what the work is, what data you keep and where it has to run. We reply within two business days.
