PRACTICE / 02 — AI LABS

Research that turns into product.

Labs is our internal R&D arm. We use it to keep practical knowledge ahead of client work, and the work occasionally ships as standalone systems we run ourselves.

Things we built that we still run.

Not demos. Running systems on our own infrastructure, under the same standard we sell to clients.

AIDE

AI Development Engine: a terminal coding agent on a provider-agnostic LLM gateway that routes work across Anthropic, OpenAI, Azure, Google, DeepSeek, and self-hosted GPU models, with automatic fallback when a provider throttles. Runs as a CLI, or as a server with a cross-platform desktop client.

Research areas

Where we spend our time.

  • AREA / 01

    Agent systems

    Tool design, planning, multi-step reasoning, long-horizon tasks. The hard parts of agent reliability.

  • AREA / 02

    Evaluation tooling

    Eval harnesses, regression tests, drift detection. The instrumentation that keeps systems honest in production.

  • AREA / 03

    Quantitative trading

    Walk-forward research, regime detection, ensemble strategies. ProxiTrades is our test bed.

  • AREA / 04

    Retrieval & RAG

    Chunking, embeddings, hybrid search, and the failure modes that show up at scale.

  • AREA / 05

    Red-teaming

    Adversarial probes, prompt injection, jailbreak defenses, and a working protocol that ops teams can run.

  • AREA / 06

    Operator-grade UI

    UIs for the people running AI in production. Dense, fast, opinionated, built for operators.

Why we run a lab

Practitioners teach better.

A consulting team that doesn't build will eventually start advising from secondhand knowledge. Once that happens, you start hearing things that sound right and don't survive contact with production.

Labs is how we keep that from happening. We run our own systems, on our own infrastructure, under the same operating standard we sell to clients. The lessons from those systems show up in client engagements directly.

The training practice draws from the same well — the curriculum is built on what we've actually shipped, not on what's currently trending.
