./contribute

We do the research together

Send us a task, data or an environment. We run the experiments with you and write them up together; contributors are co-authors of the work they contributed to.

What you can bring

Tasks

A factory cell, a drawing or a control problem you know is hard, with what a correct answer looks like.

Data

PLC programs, CAD drawings, I/O lists or operating records you have the rights to share.

Environments

A simulator, a test rig or a grader we can run models against.

We agree the scope and the rights first. Data stays private unless you decide otherwise; results are shared with you before anything is published.

Main experiments so far

  1. 01

    Industry benchmark

    CAD tasks GPT-6 Astra gets 0% on

    When depth is measured from the back face, GPT builds the mirror-image part. Opus mostly gets it right.

  2. 02

    Simulator

    Give models a PLC simulator and their pass rate jumps

    Agents could run their own PLC code in a simulator and revise it.

  3. 03

    Industry benchmark

    A process that finds defects automatically whenever a trace is produced, and updates the next version of the benchmark

    Every task defect that changed a verdict was first found by reading model traces.

  4. 04

    Industry benchmark

    Claude models cost more

    Against GPT models with a similar pass rate, running the whole benchmark costs several to over a hundred times more.

  5. 05

    Trainingrunning

    Teaching Qwen 0.8B to write PLC code

    Fine-tuning a small open model on PLC tasks.

  6. 06

    Trainingrunning

    Judging PLC code with a jev-family model

    PLC code behaves like a time series, so we fine-tuned a jev-family model on it, with some effect so far.

Each report has the numbers, from internal runs on the private task set. Running experiments have no report yet.
