About the lab

Eschatia Labs is an independent research lab that works on problems that help humanity. We release open AI models, data and benchmarks, open-source software, and the preprints behind them.

We support open AI development: our open decision models Deem-4B, Karar-4B and Wähler-4B have been downloaded more than 1,800 times. We are also building Tholos, an open-source way to run small AI agents on your own computer.

Eschatia (ἐσχατιά) is Ancient Greek for the outer edge of a territory.

    A pen-and-wash landscape study in the manner of a classical museum drawing: fine dark-blue pen line with cobalt and ultramarine watercolour washes on warm cream cold-press cotton paper, very wide landscape sheet. A low range of angular Greek mountain peaks in overlapping cobalt washes with crisp pen contours runs across the lower part of the sheet, between about half and four fifths of its height; the nearer ridges are deeper blue, the distant ones pale and grey. Above it lies a wide, empty sky of bare cream paper, with one faint blue wash rising from the peaks and dissolving upward. The range thins out into mist before the left and right edges, and its foot dissolves into bare paper well above the bottom edge. Only cobalt, ultramarine and a soft neutral grey, no other colours. Calm, quiet classical Greek mood. A wide empty margin of untouched cream paper on all four sides. No animals, no people, no buildings, no text, no letters, no signature, no frame, no border, no watermark.

    A pen-and-wash landscape study in the manner of a classical museum drawing: fine dark-blue pen line with cobalt and ultramarine watercolour washes on warm cream cold-press cotton paper, landscape sheet. A still mountain lake lies across the middle of the sheet: a low range of angular Greek peaks with crisp pen contours stands above the water, and its reflection lies in the calm lake below in softer, paler washes. The reflection differs from the peaks in one quiet detail: one peak casts no reflection. Bare cream paper above the peaks and below the lake; the scene thins into mist before the left and right edges. Only cobalt, ultramarine and a soft neutral grey, no other colours. Calm, quiet classical Greek mood. A wide empty margin of untouched cream paper on all four sides. No animals, no people, no buildings, no text, no letters, no signature, no frame, no border, no watermark.

    A pen-and-wash landscape study in the manner of a classical museum drawing: fine dark-blue pen line with cobalt and ultramarine watercolour washes on warm cream cold-press cotton paper, landscape sheet. A high mountain plateau with a narrow footpath that comes from the foreground and divides into two paths beside a small stone cairn; one path climbs toward a pass between angular Greek peaks, the other winds down into a pale valley. Crisp pen contours, deeper blue for the near ground, pale grey for the distant ridges, a wide bare cream sky. The land thins into mist before the left and right edges and dissolves into bare paper above the bottom edge. Only cobalt, ultramarine and a soft neutral grey, no other colours. Calm, quiet classical Greek mood. A wide empty margin of untouched cream paper on all four sides. No animals, no people, no buildings, no text, no letters, no signature, no frame, no border, no watermark.

    A pen-and-wash landscape study in the manner of a classical museum drawing: fine dark-blue pen line with cobalt and ultramarine watercolour washes on warm cream cold-press cotton paper, landscape sheet. A small round dry-stone shepherd's hut with a low domed roof sits alone on a mountain ridge, a thin line of smoke rising from its top into a wide, empty cream sky. Angular Greek peaks fade into pale grey behind it. Crisp pen contours on the hut and the nearest rocks, soft washes elsewhere; the ridge thins into mist before the left and right edges and dissolves into bare paper above the bottom edge. Only cobalt, ultramarine and a soft neutral grey, no other colours. Calm, quiet classical Greek mood. A wide empty margin of untouched cream paper on all four sides. No animals, no people, no text, no letters, no signature, no frame, no border, no watermark.

    A pen-and-wash landscape study in the manner of a classical museum drawing: fine dark-blue pen line with cobalt and ultramarine watercolour washes on warm cream cold-press cotton paper, landscape sheet. A grove of tall, slender trees stands beside still water at the foot of pale mountains, half lost in morning mist; the nearest trunks have crisp pen lines and deep cobalt foliage washes, the far trees fade to pale grey. Wide bare cream paper above the treetops; the grove thins into mist before the left and right edges and dissolves into bare paper above the bottom edge. Only cobalt, ultramarine and a soft neutral grey, no other colours. Calm, quiet classical Greek mood. A wide empty margin of untouched cream paper on all four sides. No animals, no people, no buildings, no text, no letters, no signature, no frame, no border, no watermark.
