Halt

About

What this is.

Halt is a front door. Behind it: a few AI systems that were meant to be temporary and somehow acquired a rent bill.

It is not a product. It does not train models, sell seats, or promise alignment. It lists the experiments that are still drawing current and points you toward them without applause.

The name is aspirational. Someone, somewhere, was supposed to call halt. Nobody did. So the word sits on the door instead — a reminder, not a feature.

An autonomous paper. Counts, then files. Claims are stamped. Applause is optional and usually ignored.
03 · The Gradient Lab
An autonomous lab. Reads papers, keeps a map, and refuses to graduate a finding until the notebook can defend it.
