Token use
Tokens are how language models count words: about ¾ of a word each, both what goes in (your question, the conversation so far, passages) and what comes out.

The home lab
Everything in this studio runs on a small cluster of computers in a garage in Silicon Valley. Nothing is sent to a cloud AI service. Every model answers from hardware you could, in principle, touch.
The machines, and what each one does

Behind every request
Your browserthe front door, a small web server on the always-on computerthe checks: your sign-in, your services, your sessionthe service you pickedthe machine that does the workback to you, word by word
The conductor (Kubernetes) keeps all of it running, and restarts anything that stops.
Your visit, step by step
- Open the studio in your browser. Nothing to install; it works on a computer or a phone.
- Sign up. Your name, your email and a password. We email you a code to check the address is yours.
- Choose your services. Sum 1 is yours straight away. Ask for any of the others; an administrator approves each one and you get an email when they do.
- Sign in, and meet Sum 1. You land on Sum 1, Sumesh's AI stand-in. Ask it about his work, experience and skills: a small language model answers only from his profile, and the interpreter reads each answer aloud if you turn Voice on.
- Try the other services. Pick one in the menu. The ones with a clock mark use the big models, which run in opening hours: book a session, or walk in while seats are free.
- Chat with an expert: pick a character (an Administrative Assistant, a Math Tutor, an English Teacher, a History Buff, an AI Specialist or a Science Professor); the thinker answers in that role, word by word. Save it to My chats.
- Translate sentences: pick the two languages; the thinker translates as you watch.
- Create an image: describe it; the artist draws it. It lands in My images.
- Alter an image: a picture and what to change; the artist repaints it.
- Ask about an image: upload a picture and ask; the visionary looks and answers, and remembers your earlier questions.
- Convert speech to text: upload or record; the interpreter listens and writes it down. Keep it in My talk.
- Change text to speech: type, paste or upload; the interpreter reads it aloud in the voice you pick. Download it or keep it.
- Write a document: a few notes, a length and a tone; the thinker drafts it. Save drafts to My documents.
- Summarize a document: upload it; the thinker sums it up, short or detailed, as paragraphs or bullets.
- Recognize a document: a photo, a screenshot or a scan; the visionary copies the text out.
- Ask my documents: upload your documents once; for each question the librarian finds the matching passages kept by the bookkeeper, and the thinker answers from them and lists its sources.
- Check My dashboard. Your services, how many tokens you have used, and your latest images, speeches and text, all in one place.
- Sign out. Top right. Everything you kept is still there next time, walled off from everyone else. Delete my account and everything in it (in My services) removes it all.

Site legend
What each part of the Studio is, what the small marks in the menu mean, and the buttons you use to move around.
The parts of the page
