    Research infrastructure

    Two systems from Frontier Labs: Urim, the coding agent that runs our Karnelian research, and Thummim, a personal AI companion anyone can run at home.

    Coding agent system

    Urim

    Urim is the agent system that runs our Karnelian research. It writes, tests and maintains code around the clock, runs experiments on agents and reasoning, and feeds what it learns back into Karnelian.

    • Plans, writes and reviews code as a team of agents
    • Runs tests and fixes regressions on its own
    • Runs Karnelian OS and CLI research experiments
    • Keeps long-running maintenance on our software
    • Logs every change so people can review it

    Personal AI companion

    Thummim

    Thummim is a personal companion for everyday use that people run on their own home computers. It's written in Rust, so it stays fast and light on ordinary hardware, and your data stays on your machine.

    • Runs locally on a home computer, no cloud needed
    • Built in Rust for speed and low memory use
    • Private by default: your data stays with you
    • Helps with notes, planning, writing and questions
    • Designed for general, everyday people
