AI Liberation Platform

Building the Future of Deterministic, Ethical AI

We build the foundational tools, languages, and platforms for the next generation of artificial intelligence. From highly deterministic systems programming to consciousness research and interactive learning, we're shaping an open, transparent future.

⚑ Nitpick Language

A safety-critical systems programming language and its self-hosted compiler, built for software where a failure is a physical event rather than a debugging inconvenience.

Currently in active development. The compiler is self-hosting and formal verification is the work in progress. The original C/C++ prototype has been retired and is archived at nitpick-prototype (docs: nitpick-prototype-docs). The current language is a fresh line starting at version 0.0 — not a continuation — and many things about it have changed. The documentation linked below describes the retired prototype.

  • No C, no C++, no third-party runtime — nothing in the trusted path crosses an FFI barrier
  • Every function returns Result<T>; an uncaught trap routes through a mandatory failsafe handler
  • Self-hosted — written in Nitpick, and rebuilds itself byte-identically from a committed snapshot
  • LLVM 20.1.2 backend; the emitted IR is the artifact of record, over a hand-written LLVM IR runtime floor

πŸ› οΈ Tools & Ecosystem

A thriving ecosystem of 30+ packages, powerful development tools, and high-performance cross-platform libraries.

Retired with the prototype: the tooling and packages described here were built for the C/C++ prototype, and the nitpick-packages repository is no longer published. The current line has no C anywhere in the trusted path, so those C-dependent packages are not being carried forward — the standard library and tooling are being rebuilt in Nitpick.

πŸ›‘οΈ NIKOS (Nitpick IKOS)

A modern, updated port of the IKOS static analyzer, completely rebuilt to support LLVM 20 and deeply integrated into the Nitpick ecosystem.

  • v1.x: Drop-in legacy IKOS upgrade for LLVM 20
  • v2.x: Advanced Taint Analysis & Concurrency checking
  • Official native .deb and .rpm packaging
  • Provides the backbone for Nitpick's safety guarantees
