What we start today.
A plan we can begin the moment this publishes β and a clear line from here to build together, sell together, and buy together. Trust first, always. Nobody worth working with buys from a stranger.
A forward-looking proposal from public information β not a claimed deal, commitment, or endorsement.
Trust β pilot β build β sell & buy.
00Open the conversation, stand up the bench
Now Β· 0β30 days- Publish this dossier so our team is aligned on Thinking Machines' science, products, and worldview from day 0.
- Stand up a provider-neutral integration bench inside π€« Agent One over MCP: Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Grok 4.5, and Gemini, side by side.
- Prototype "teach-your-own-agent": fine-tune an open-weight model (Tinker-style) on a π€« Puppy One developer unit β private, on owned compute.
01A small, real pilot
1β3 months- One concrete, consented use case where a person teaches their own private model on compute they own.
- Make it reproducible and receipted end to end β deterministic inference, every access logged, nothing leaves without consent.
- Earn a real relationship first β no ask before trust.
02Build together
3β9 months- Bring the science of efficient, reliable fine-tuning into the π€« owned-compute stack, on open rails (the Hushh Protocol / PCHP).
- Experiment with real-time interaction models for the always-on, voice-first π€« Agent One.
- Keep publishing in the open, in the shared spirit of Connectionism.
03Sell together, buy together
9+ months- Joint go-to-market on open, inspectable rails β never a walled garden.
- Buy together on compute where it lowers cost per watt and per workload for everyone.
- Grow the π€« Factory One grid so more people own the means of their own intelligence.
One conversation.
We are not asking for a deal. We are asking for a conversation β thirty minutes between Mira Murati and Manish Sainani to compare notes on a future we describe almost identically and build from two complementary ends. The science of teaching your own model, meeting the place that model should live: owned, private, at the edge.
Everything above is a proposal we can start today, on our side, whether or not that meeting happens. But it would be a great deal more fun to build it together.
