Three models. One principle: yours.

You get the actual model files. You can inspect them, run them, fine-tune them. There is no hosted version of our models that you have to go through us for. The weights live on your machine.

GGUF is a file format for AI models. It runs on Ollama, LM Studio, llama.cpp, and any compliant runtime. If you have a modern Mac, Windows, or Linux machine with the recommended RAM, you already have what you need. Download the file, point your runtime at it, done.

flash-1-mini is fine-tuned from an open, Apache-2.0-licensed Qwen base model — not Llama — and we attribute that base as the license requires (see the NOTICE file). That cuts both ways, honestly: the gains are real and measured against that exact base, and you still own what you download. Apache 2.0 is irrevocable — it lets you run, modify, and redistribute the model commercially, and nobody can pull the license out from under you. We fine-tune on Canadian infrastructure.

Yes. Outputs are yours. Use them in work product, client deliverables, internal tools, products you sell. The model license covers running the model. It does not claim ownership of what you generate.

Benchmarks publish with each model launch. flash-1-mini's are live now — see the model page for the full table, including the honest tradeoffs. We don't pre-announce numbers or cherry-pick; the regressions sit right next to the gains. Real numbers, on the actual model you can download.

You get a notification when a new version is available. You decide whether to download it. The version you already have continues to work forever — we cannot break or revoke a model you already downloaded.

Your models keep working. They are files on your hardware. We cannot revoke them, even by ceasing to exist. This is the entire point of open-weight ownership.

Yes. Once downloaded, the model runs entirely on your hardware. Airplane mode is fine. So is an air-gapped network.

GGUF runtimes work on macOS, Windows, and Linux. To try the models without a local install, a free browser showcase API arrives September 30, 2026.

When you run a SimpleDirect model on your own hardware, no — your prompts never reach us. The one optional service we run is the free showcase API; the transparency page at /data explains exactly what it stores and doesn't. Self-deployed, your data never leaves your network.
