AI / Model series
A large model dedicated to code. The aim is depth: a system that is exceptional at software engineering rather than passable at everything.
Most large models treat code as one capability among many. Arcus takes the opposite position. It is intended to be a model that thinks in software, one whose strengths are reasoning about systems, reading and writing code at scale, and doing the patient, multi-step work that real engineering demands.
The trade-off is explicit. By specializing, Arcus gives up breadth. We believe that is the right exchange: a model that is genuinely good at one hard thing is more useful than a model that is mediocre at all of them.

First model in the series
A large model for software engineering and code. Notes and architectural thinking exist; no development has begun.
Arcus-1 is in the planning stage. The intent and direction are settled, but the model itself has not been built. We would rather share the direction honestly now than imply a capability we have not produced.
