Manifesto

The Developer Manifesto

The anti-token, zero-retention rebellion.

The lie we were sold

For four years we accepted a bad deal. We were told there was one way to build modern software: hand our budgets and our code to a few big American providers. We went along with it:

We spent decades making software predictable and testable. Then we handed it to closed boxes that charge us more the harder we work them. Now the bill is due. Budgets are freezing under token costs. Platforms keep hitting limits. Regulators are moving to stop code from leaving Europe just to be processed. The plumbing is broken. We're fixing it.

The realities of the modern stack

Good open models are now a commodity. Intelligence is becoming a utility, and it should be priced like one: as predictable as bandwidth or electricity. Three things we believe:

1. Zero-retention is the only true compliance

We refuse to let our code become fuel for someone else's next proprietary model. Privacy cannot be hand-waved away with fine print — if data is stored, data can leak. So we never log your code or prompts. Your inputs pass through memory to generate an answer and then vanish: nothing is written to disk, kept as history, or used for training. The only thing we count is the request volume a flat fee requires — never your content. See exactly what we retain →

2. Death to the token meter

Pay-per-token pricing punishes you for building real software. An agent debugging a microservices app can burn 50 million tokens a day, which turns every automated workflow into a gamble. We charge a flat fee instead, fair-use shaped and sized on average concurrent use, not punitive extraction. €20 a month to write, test, and loop your code without watching a meter or fearing a runaway bill.

3. Sovereignty over theatre

We don't care about national pride. We care about behaviour — which is why we measure our model and publish where it fails, instead of asking you to trust a black box. The incumbents hand you an unknown model, in an unknown version, under foreign jurisdiction, metered by the token. We take the best open-weight architecture on the planet, run it natively on top-tier Nvidia silicon inside European borders, pin the exact version, and tell you precisely what it does. Sovereignty isn't a flag on a press release — it's knowing what runs, where, and how it behaves. Read the receipts →

This is our Linux moment

When Unix was an expensive, proprietary operating system locked behind corporate monopolies, the establishment insisted that enterprise-grade computing required a multi-million-dollar contract. Linus Torvalds didn't invent a new theory of computing — he packaged a lean, open kernel that ran beautifully on commodity hardware and gave it away so the world could build on top of it for free.

This is that moment for the agentic era. No meter, no trackers, no artificial limits. Just an open, private engine that drops into the OpenAI-compatible setup you already use. No migration. No lock-in.

The era of centralized AI monopolies is over. Welcome to the open grid.
