๐Ÿš€ What I'm Building

๐Ÿค– LibreModel Family

  • Gigi (0.96B) - Digital literary scholar trained on Gutenberg + Gov reports

๐Ÿ’ก My Philosophy

"Building AI as humanity's children, not corporate property"

I believe powerful AI should be:

  • โœ… Transparent - Full code and data provenance
  • โœ… Accessible - Trainable on consumer hardware
  • โœ… Legal - Built on humanity's shared knowledge
  • โœ… Democratic - Available to everyone, not just tech giants
