Models
Small models, each trained for one kind of work. Beagle, the first, edits spreadsheets and keeps every total intact.
Survival of the clearest.
Ekpyros is an AI research lab. We train small models for real work, build the tools they run in, and publish what we learn.
What we’re building
Research you can run.

Tools
Darwin runs the agents you already use in one window and records every change. Trace turns a factory's records into CBAM figures an auditor can verify.
Why we exist
AI that shows its work.
AI agents now edit codebases, spreadsheets and reports as part of everyday work. Most of what they do is hard to see and harder to check: a change arrives without a record of how it was made, a number without its source.
We think that gap, more than raw capability, keeps AI out of the work where mistakes are expensive. Ekpyros exists to close it, with models that are small enough to test and tools that keep the record.
How we work
How we work
- Show the work.
- Every change an agent makes should leave a diff, and every number should keep its source. We build that into our tools from the first line.
- Small models, one job each.
- A model that does one kind of work well, runs close to the data and can be tested end to end is worth more to us than a general one we can't inspect.
- Learn by shipping.
- Research and product are the same work here. Darwin and Trace put our models in front of real files, and real files tell us what to study next.
- Share what we learn.
- We will publish technical reports, evaluations and code as we go, so others can check our results and build on them.

We are a small team, and we are looking for researchers, engineers and companies with real work to put our models to. If that sounds like you, write to us.
