AN INDEPENDENT AI LAB

Intelligence,
with intention.

We train open-source models for focused expertise. Starting with Python, we’re working toward useful AI on modest hardware.

AI-first. Curious by nature. Open by design.

01OUR FOCUS

Potential is the start.
Training takes it further.

We build for developers, researchers, and independent builders who want open models they can adapt and run themselves. Our focus is specialized capability with lower hardware demands.

01 / REASONING

Think a little deeper.

Exploring how focused training helps models understand Python problems, plan changes, and check their work.

02 / SPECIALIZATION

Know what matters.

Our first project specializes Gemma 4 for Python development: navigating repositories, fixing code, and using tests.

03 / ACCESSIBILITY

Bring capability closer.

Working toward models for low-end hardware, with memory use, speed, and task quality measured together.

02THE WAY WE WORK

Built on openness.
Refined through
experimentation.

Our work starts with an open foundation and a question: what could this model become?

Inside our research
01

Start with a strong foundation

Select open models and data suited to the task, with attention to their licenses and limitations.

02

Train with a clear purpose

Shape capabilities through focused fine-tuning, experimentation, and careful iteration.

03

Evaluate. Learn. Repeat.

Test what improves, understand what doesn’t, and use those findings to guide the next experiment.

03FROM THE LAB

Python expertise,
in the making.

Our first project is a Python specialist built on Gemma 4. We’re developing and testing it through Google’s Gemma 4 Developer Agent Competition on Kaggle, with an open-source release as the goal.

WHY FORTUNA?

Good fortune is better
when it’s shared.

Our name comes from Fortuna, the goddess of fortune. For us, the opportunity to build useful intelligence is a fortunate beginning. Helping others build with it is the point.

GOOD THINGS BEGIN WITH A CONVERSATION

A little curiosity.
A lot of possibility.

Research partnerships, funding,
and a shared belief in open intelligence.
