It changes things
Agents write and run code across whole projects, not one line at a time.
An open AI lab in Rwanda
AI that shows
its work.
AI can now do the work. Almost nobody can prove it was done right. Archymedes builds instruments that make AI work checkable: every change reviewable, every cost visible, every decision explained, every machine watched.

npm install -g archymedes-cliWhy now
AI stopped suggesting. It started acting.
It spends money
Every task is a metered bill, across many models at very different prices.
It runs as you
It acts with your files, your shell and your credentials, on your machine.
The instruments
Every AI action leaves a question open. We built an instrument for each.
What did it change?
Archymedes CLIOpen-source coding agent
Archymedes CLI plans, edits, runs and verifies in your terminal, on any model. Every step is visible, every change can be reviewed and undone, and you set the most a task may spend before it starts.
- Any model, including local and free ones
- A result only goes green when real checks pass
- Checkpoints, /diff and /undo on every change
Can I see it, and take it back?
Archymedes DesktopThe same agent, with a workspace
Archymedes Desktop puts the agent, your files, real terminals and every change side by side. Each edit is snapshotted, shown as a real diff, and reverts in one click.
- Per-edit snapshots and one-click revert
- Editor, terminals and search in one window
- Live spend in your own currency
What did it cost?
Archymedes CloudOne balance, every model
Archymedes Cloud is a prepaid balance that works across models. Each call reserves a hard cap before it runs, is routed by the policy you choose, and returns a receipt that explains the route and the charge.
- A hard cap on every call
- Routed by policy: cheapest, fastest or best fit
- Models at the provider's own price, plus one visible fee
Why this choice?
OrionDecision app
Orion turns a hard choice into options, factors and trade-offs. The AI structures your words and explains the result. The answer itself is computed by plain, repeatable math: the same inputs always give the same answer.
- Asks at most three questions, and only ones that could change the result
- Shows what tipped it and what would flip it
- With no real signal it shows a tie, not an invented number
Is my machine still mine?
JARVISLocal security guardian
Agents run code with your credentials. JARVIS watches the machine they run on: what is running, what could take or keep control, and what has quietly changed. It works locally, keeps evidence, and tells you what it cannot see.
- Audits that answer plain questions
- Nothing leaves your machine by default
- Automatic actions are reversible; anything bigger asks first
Is it true in the real world?
The LabResearch and reference builds
Beyond the products, the lab works on two things: grounding AI in the physical world, and making intelligence cheaper to run. Both follow one rule: validate a source before you trust it.
- geo3d: real places rebuilt as light 3D web scenes from free public data
- Efficiency research: compression, quantisation and GPU tuning
- Data that fails validation is thrown away
Give me a lever and a place to stand, and I will move the world.

Where we stand
Built everywhere. Open to everyone.
An AI lab in Rwanda, built for Africa and the world — connecting US, Europe and Asia AI communities across China, Japan and Korea.
From Rwanda to the wider African AI community—and across China, Japan, Korea, Europe and the US—we welcome international developers to build the system in the open with us.
