BRINGING IDEAS TO LIFE

We are builders. Small team. AI-native. Shipping open source from zero.

A bootstrapped AI development company. No VC. We create open source tools to solve real problems and selectively partner with teams building meaningful things.

What We Do

Three pillars of how we operate

Build Open Source

We create tools and ship them in the open. From AI runtimes to deployment tools — if we need it, we build it and share it.

AI-Native Workflow

Small team, massive output. AI is core to everything we do — not a bolt-on feature but how we actually work every day.

Partner Selectively

Premium partnerships with teams building meaningful things. Not an agency. Not cheap. Selective and high-quality.

Meet Cointrapper: The AI Trading Agent Behind Our Private Crypto Pool

Meet Cointrapper, the private algorithmic crypto trading pool we run on Binance futures, and see how its AI trading agent works: one forecast, three roles with separate jobs, and NAV-per-unit accounting for every share.

Octofs 0.16 MCP filesystem server replacing the built-in file and shell tools in Claude Code and Codex, finishing the same agent tasks 2 to 2.5 times faster at roughly the same token count

Octofs 0.16: A State-of-the-Art Filesystem for Claude Code and Codex

We spent four weeks running octofs as the only filesystem and shell under Claude Code and Codex, and fixed everything that got in the way. Eight releases later, the same tasks finish 2–2.5x faster at roughly the same token count. Release notes for 0.15 and 0.16, plus the exact config to add it as a Claude Code or Codex MCP server, swap out the built-in tools and try it yourself. Open source, Apache-2.0.
