Stage: Feasibility Assessment, Architecture Simulation & Supplier Discovery|compute.grafionlabs.com

Own the intelligence.

Grafion Compute is researching a new generation of efficient, locally owned AI computing systems capable of running frontier-level autonomous engineering agents continuously — with zero recurring cloud inference subscriptions.

The North Star

Frontier intelligence. Personal ownership. Radical efficiency.

The target is not unlimited low-quality token generation. The target is the maximum amount of successfully completed high-quality intellectual and software engineering work per euro of total ownership cost.

The Breakthrough Strategy

Three Interconnected Breakthrough Programs

Frontier AI on affordable local hardware cannot be achieved by optimizing a single layer. Grafion Compute synchronizes model architecture, inference physics, and global manufacturing economics.

PROGRAM A

Frontier Intelligence

Develop a proprietary AI model and agentic reasoning system that surpasses Claude Opus 5.5 operating within Claude Code on real-world autonomous software engineering.

•Workloop evaluation baseline using founder's proven Opus setup.

•Analysis of open MoE references (Kimi K3.1 Pro, DeepSeek V3).

•Specialized agentic coding fine-tuning and verifiable tool loops.

•Strict IP compliance: zero unauthorized teacher-model distillation.

PROGRAM B

Model Efficiency & Hardware

Develop inference runtime techniques, tiered memory hierarchies, and specialized accelerator integration to make frontier intelligence practical on €500 hardware.

•Adaptive MoE expert caching exploiting code locality.

•Multi-tiered memory: On-chip SRAM + GDDR/DDR5 + fast NVMe.

•Task-aware quantization preserving coding reasoning.

•Low power envelope (<180W) suitable for quiet desktop operation.

PROGRAM C

Manufacturing & Supply Chain

Construct a globally competitive supply network across 19 production layers, securing low-MOQ prototype runs and lawful European compliance.

•Low-MOQ manufacturing tiers: 1 sample, 5 pilot, 1,000 scale.

•Direct factory procurement vs Turnkey ODM comparison.

•CE, EMC Directive, Low Voltage Directive & RoHS compliance.

•Lawful Finnish import with customs tariff (HS code) clarity.

Technical Foundations

Solving the Memory & Bandwidth Physics

Running frontier intelligence locally is fundamentally bound by memory bandwidth and cost. Here is how Grafion Compute investigates bypassing conventional hardware limits.

DIRECTION B1

Lossless Weight Compression

Exploring entropy encoding and bit-plane compression to shrink numerical tensor storage without altering numerical precision.

RESEARCH STATUSResearch Hypothesis

Hypothesis: Exponent bit-plane redundancy may reduce checkpoint footprint before runtime decompression, complementing tiered caching.

DIRECTION B2

Task-Aware Quantization

Quantizing weights to 4-bit / 8-bit precision while rigorously measuring autonomous software engineering reasoning degradation.

RESEARCH STATUSPlanned Evaluation

Objective: Determine minimum layer-wise bit precision (AWQ/EXL2/FP8) that preserves multi-file coding coherence.

DIRECTION B3

Adaptive Expert Caching

Exploiting temporal locality in software development tasks by keeping frequently activated MoE experts in fast accelerator memory.

RESEARCH STATUSHigh-Priority Research

Primary Research Target: Measure expert co-activation patterns and cache hit rates across real autonomous coding runs (R004).

DIRECTION B4

Tiered Memory Hierarchy

Combining on-chip SRAM, high-bandwidth GDDR, system DDR5 ECC RAM, and PCIe 4.0/5.0 NVMe storage into a unified cost-optimized pipeline.

RESEARCH STATUSArchitecture Modeling

Objective: Model cost-per-GB vs sustained bandwidth across tiers to identify a viable path toward the €500 BOM target (R005).

DIRECTION B5

Predictive MoE Offloading

Asynchronous double-buffering engine streaming inactive expert weights from DDR5/NVMe over PCIe without compute pipeline stalls.

RESEARCH STATUSConcept & Design

Hypothesis: Layer-ahead router prefetching can overlap PCIe transfers with active compute without substituting incorrect experts.

DIRECTION B6

Alternative Silicon & NPUs

Benchmarking cost-per-TFLOPS across alternative NPUs (SOPHGO, Biren, Rockchip) and custom carrier boards vs commodity consumer GPUs.

RESEARCH STATUSSupplier Discovery

Status: Exploratory supplier outreach sent; awaiting verified datasheets, SDK documentation, and low-MOQ sample quotations (R006).

Scientific Integrity

The 7-Stage Evidence Ladder

The AI hardware industry is plagued by speculative marketing and decorative progress bars. Grafion Compute operates on a strict verification hierarchy where targets are never conflated with verified achievements.

1. Concept

A theoretical proposal or design objective formulated in planning documents.

Grafion Standard: Labeled transparently as ambition; never claimed as functional.

2. Hypothesis

A testable assertion with defined input, expected output, and falsification criteria.

Grafion Standard: Pre-registered in our Experiment Lab before allocating budget.

3. Research

Literature review, supplier inquiries, and theoretical mathematical modeling.

Grafion Standard: Preserves citations; unconfirmed emails marked as exploratory.

4. Testing

Empirical code execution, memory simulation, and bench testing in private lab.

Grafion Standard: Requires raw telemetry logs; failed tests documented as findings.

5. Demonstrated

Reproducible execution in internal development workloops under supervision.

Grafion Standard: Must pass predefined automated test suites and error criteria.

6. Independently Verified

External third-party replication, certified lab testing (CE/EMC), or audited benchmarks.

Grafion Standard: Requires formal test reports from accredited institutions (e.g. Intertek).

7. Commercially Ready

Mass production yield verified, warranty reserve funded, and compliant for EU sale.

Grafion Standard: Zero customer preorders accepted until Stage 7 is fully validated.

Commercial Protection Clause: Grafion Compute will not collect paid pre-orders, publish synthetic benchmark claims, or represent prototype hardware as finished consumer appliances until rigorous compliance and independent verification are achieved.
