RSSIntroducing CBLRE: a public benchmark for Canadian bilingual legal AI
The Canadian Bilingual Legal & Regulatory Evaluation is open — six tracks, bilingual ground truth, reproducible scoring. No model scores in the dataset card; those come separately, after expert validation.
How we measure our models: the benchmarking protocol
The full evaluation suite, serving configuration, scoring rules, and reporting standards we apply to every SimpleDirect model — built for one thing: every number we publish must be reproducible.
Every model, free forever
We'd planned to charge for our larger models. We changed our mind. From today, every SimpleDirect model is free to download and own — forever, with no paywall.

SimpleDirect's first model — a 4B, bilingual, vision-capable Canadian legal AI — is now available under the Apache 2.0 license, free to download and run on a laptop.
