Vinci is the open-weight model I'm building. Not a frontier-benchmark chase - a model you actually enjoy using, with character and a Constitution baked in, hosted in Canada. The first release is piccolo, a 4B model small enough to run on hardware you own.
- Open weights, forever - no closed base, no VC, nothing to rent
- Character and a Constitution, not just benchmark scores
- piccolo: the first model, 4B - small enough to run yourself
- Built and hosted in Canada
