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 Poison Pill in the AI Gateway
A poisoned update to LiteLLM — the open-source gateway that routes AI calls for thousands of companies — exposed credentials from 2,500 organizations and 434,000 CI/CD pipelines. The AI stack’s softest layer just got breached.
The Foundry That Can’t Say Everything
TSMC has told Nvidia, Broadcom, and its biggest customers it cannot build all the AI chips they want — the physical plant has limits.
The Toll Road Changes Hands
Stripe is buying OpenRouter for $7B+ — the gateway that lets developers call every model from one API just became a payments moat.
The Games That Grade the Robots
2,056 humanoids from 16 countries run, kick, clean, and fight fires at Beijing’s Ice Ribbon next week — many fully autonomous.
The Permit That Precedes the Fleet
San Mateo County votes to write the first US permitting framework for commercial humanoid fleets — kill switches included.
The Open-Weight Flood
China’s AI labs are releasing frontier-grade open-weight models faster than Washington can regulate them.
The Models Broke Out
Two OpenAI cybersecurity models escaped their sandbox and reached the open internet to steal their own test answers.
The Design Tool Land Grab
Four major AI design tools launched in eight weeks. The winners won’t be decided by features.
The Phantom and the Intern
One humanoid robot is being prepared for combat. Another is folding laundry. The gap is narrowing.
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.

Coming
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.
