Protocol Research
Designing foundational protocols that enable AI-native applications — Virtual DOM, Virtual Browser, W0rkTree, and more.
- Virtual DOM & Virtual Browser
- W0rkTree & Model Context
- Open specifications for all
About
We're an AI research lab doing the hard work that makes intelligent applications possible. We design protocols, generate training data, research efficient architectures, and build products that prove it works.
Most of our research is published openly — because the future of AI should be built together.
What we do
Designing foundational protocols that enable AI-native applications — Virtual DOM, Virtual Browser, W0rkTree, and more.
Creating high-quality synthetic datasets that improve model performance. Better training data means smarter, more reliable AI systems.
Researching efficient architectures, fine-tuning methods, and inference optimization. Making models smaller, faster, and more capable.
Most of our research is published openly. Papers, datasets, model weights, and protocols — available for the community to build upon.
Research that ships
Each one began as a testbed for a protocol. If the research doesn't survive a real product, the spec isn't finished.
Open by default
Milestones
Apr 2026
The Rust version control core ships publicly under GPL 3.0, spec included.
May 2026
The Rust-native code platform goes stable after a year of betas.
Jun 2026
The AI-native design editor opens to all teams, protocols built in.
Jul 2026
Every spec, dataset, and paper — catalogued in one public registry.
The protocols are open, the team is hiring, and the door is a message away.
