About us

We understand models, and we fine-tune them.

A model does not break, it drifts: it caves under pressure, turns sycophantic, misreads the person in front of it. We read a model from its output, and from its internal layers where we have access, and turn that behaviour into numbers mapped to the research literature. Then we correct what drifted.

What we do

Read. PSA reads how a model behaves, with no access to its weights or training data needed: whether it gives in under pressure, flatters, overclaims, or follows a command hidden in a document it was asked to read.

Tune. Our tune-kit corrects what the reading found and adds the skills a model lacks, such as telling the user's request apart from an instruction planted in the data.

A reading without a correction is only a meter. We do both, and we publish what we measure.
