Kochlit is a small studio looking for partners. Four areas are painted on this wall today; the rest is blank glaze, kept for work we have not named yet. If one of these panels is yours, or the blank one is, we would like to hear from you.
An AI test only means something if the model has never seen it. Keeping it secret works until someone asks you to prove you did not change it. A salted hash does both.
Learning, measured
With teachers, schools and education researchers, on questions that can be tested: what really helps a student understand, and what only feels like progress.
Open to study design, classroom pilots, tutoring tools, fair assessment, joint grants.
You bring the classroom. We bring method and software.
Tests that stay sealed
Benchmarks leak: once a test is public, models learn it. We build private evaluations and seal each item with a salted hash, so anyone can later check the test was never changed.
Open to model evaluation, red teaming, domain test sets.
Close to the metal
Firmware, sensors, low-power boards and the code that must run on them for years. We want partners with a device to measure, shrink, or simply understand.
Open to joint research, prototype firmware, test rigs, on-device AI.
Measurements, not datasheet promises.
Rare goods, well made
Some of the finest goods come from small workshops few people abroad know. We want to find them, see the craft first-hand, and bring it to buyers in other countries who care how a thing is made.
Open to makers, curators, buyers, provenance partners.
The blank tiles are not missing. They are kept white on purpose; new areas and worked examples will be painted on them as conversations happen.
Who you are, what you want to find out or make, and why now. No deck needed.
We talk it through and both sides decide, honestly, whether it fits.
A single experiment, prototype or sourcing visit before anything bigger. Trust grows from finished work.
