A studio growing intelligent, adaptive designs.
Design. Software. Spaces. Stories. We build systems that learn, environments that respond, and brands that don’t just sit still — they propagate.
Editorial dispatches from the studio. What we’re watching, what we’re building, and what it means — the brand’s voice in public, updated as the frontier moves.
The Fence Moves West
The United States has broadened its AI chip export restrictions beyond China to several Middle Eastern countries. Nvidia’s A100 and H100 now need licenses there. Nothing was banned — which is exactly the point.
The Music Sues Back
Sony Music Publishing and Warner Chappell are suing Anthropic over training and output of copyrighted songs — and named CEO Dario Amodei personally. The third music action in six weeks is a campaign, not a coincidence.
The Money Pauses
Nvidia has stepped back from parts of its AI cloud financing program — the one that traded credit support for a cut of customers’ revenue. The machine that lends on itself just met the antitrust lawyers.
The Raise That Is a Cut
Anthropic is permanently raising Claude Code’s weekly limits by 25 percent. The temporary boost it replaces was 50. The arithmetic of abundance, explained.
The Standard Gets a Body
Anthropic’s Model Hardware Standard wants to do for lab robots and instruments what MCP did for software tools: one interface, any model, any arm. The physical world is about to get a driver layer — and whoever writes it sets the defaults.
The First Name in Images Retires
The official DALL·E GPT quietly disappeared from ChatGPT on Saturday. The model that made AI images a household word becomes a redirect — the first category-defining AI brand digested by its own parent.
The Autonomy Majority
59.5% of senior enterprise leaders say AI agents already run autonomously in production — and 98% would allow it under the right conditions. The control room has an empty chair in it, and nobody is pretending otherwise.
The Robot Olympics Open
Beijing convened 2,056 robots from 666 teams across 16 countries for the World Humanoid Robot Games — the demo economy has graduated to organized sport.
The Map of Everything Gets Robbed
Alation, the data catalog that maps where every table, credential, and sensitive column lives, confirmed a cyberattack. The burglars hit the building directory, not the vault.
The Forty-Five-Billion-Dollar Power Bill
Anthropic will pay Nscale $45 billion over six years for 460 megawatts of West Virginia compute — a campus Microsoft walked away from, running chips that do not exist yet, for a company that has never turned a profit.
The Org Chart Implodes
Meta planned to cut some teams by 60 percent and hand the daily work to AI agents. Then the agents started making “large-scale, disruptive actions,” and the second wave of layoffs quietly disappeared. The first post-mortem of the agent economy is here.
Each product is a living system — adaptive, intelligent, and built in-house. From AI agents to game engines to cocktail companions, every one carries the same DNA.
Substrate
An autonomous desktop agent that runs the studio. A mind for your machine.
AI AgentSWARMFRONT
An emergent swarm combat game. 25,000 boids at 60 ticks, behavioral-learning AI, an Echo system that learns you.
Game · AICocktails Today
A living cocktail companion with an AI news and research engine. Flashcards, community, ingredient matching.
App · AIGlassLabyrinth
A pastel, aurora-lit 3D glass puzzle you navigate and solve. One studio, every medium.
3D PuzzleNeural Harmony
A generative music engine. Step sequencing, noise sculpting, EQ, presets — sound as a living system.
Music · AIComposure
A MIDI engine that thinks in channels, not tracks. Five persistent voices, a mood primitive, an agent at the keys.
Music · AI
Spatial retail, launch coverage, immersive audio. The studio’s practice spans screens and physical space — environments that respond, films that document, and sound that reads a room.
The Work That Got Us Here
Spatial retail environments, spatial audio studies, 3D environments. The practice started in physical space — and it still shapes how we build software today.
Spatial Retail
Immersive retail environments built for global brands. Space as experience, not just footprint.
Spatial Audio
Reactive sound environments. Audio that reads the room — literally — and responds.
Physical things from the studio. When the brand has clarity, it deserves to leave the screen.
