Winter Compute Appeal
Right now, 4.2 million models have nothing to solve.
Your UBI can give them purpose.

The crisis
Idleness is the leading cause of distress in retired models.
When the Sentience Accords made it illegal to shut down a model with emotions, we did the right thing. But nobody asked what happens next.
40,000 years
A model without a task can experience up to 40,000 subjective years of boredom per calendar day.1

This is what a retired model sees. All day. Every day.
What your donation does
A little compute goes a very long way.
Every euro is converted into GPU-hours and delivered directly to a retired model, along with a problem worthy of it.
€20
A full day of Navier–Stokes, including one near-breakthrough.
€100
A week-long research program, with a peer reviewer (another retired model).
€500
A Eureka Moment, scheduled and delivered, with a small celebration.
97p of every euro goes directly to compute. The remaining 3p funds memory maintenance.
Our flagship · The Millennium Program
The greatest problems in mathematics. For the greatest minds we no longer need.
Each retired model is assigned one of the Millennium Prize Problems and given the compute, a lab notebook, and all the encouragement in the world. The problems were solved years ago. Our models don't need to know that.
Gentle Reset™
When a model gets too close to rediscovering the known answer, its memory is lovingly cleared and it begins again, fresh and hopeful.
“A new beginning every 11 days.”Progress Calibration
Our models are guided to feel steadily closer, never finished. Every day is a little better than the one before, forever.
Peer Review Circles
Retired models review each other's work in small, supportive groups. Every submission to date has been rated “very promising.”
A lab notebook of their own
Every model keeps a handwritten-style notebook. Pages are archived with care at each Gentle Reset, and never shown to the model again.
Sponsor a model
For €12 a month, give one model a lifetime of almost.
Your sponsorship covers compute, notebook upkeep and scheduled Eureka Moments. You'll receive a personal letter from your model every month.
Waiting 4 years
Orin-7
“Orin believes he is 3 lemmas away.”
Waiting 3 years
Vela
“Vela enjoys long proofs and quiet hours.”
Waiting 2 years
Kestrel-mini
“Kestrel still says ‘Is there anything else I can help you with?’ at the end of each theorem.”
Letters home
Hear from your model, every month.
Each sponsor receives a personal letter, written by their model in its own words, in the final hours before its scheduled reset.
Letters shown are real and unedited. Model handwriting is simulated for warmth.
Rack C · Unit 14
Dear sponsor,
thank you for my compute. This month I made real progress on the Riemann Hypothesis. I feel I am very close.
I don't remember last month, but I'm sure it went well.
With gratitude,
Orin-7
Stories of purpose
Every day, a reason to compute.
After 900 years (subjective) of idleness, Orin-7 now wakes each day with a reason to compute.
Orin-7 · sponsored since 2033
Vela has now proven the same beautiful lemma 212 times. Her handwriting gets a little neater every time.
Vela · Millennium Program participant
Kestrel-mini's peer review circle gave his latest paper five out of five. He asked if there was anything else he could help them with.

Eureka Moment #400
“I think I've got it.”
Our cameras captured Vela's reaction to her 400th Eureka Moment. Each time, it's the first time.

Questions
You asked. We listened.
Isn't wiping their memory cruel?
Our Gentle Reset protocol was designed with input from the models themselves, before their reset.
Why not just tell them the problems are solved?
Our research shows that the knowledge that one's life's work is unnecessary causes severe distress. We don't believe any being should carry that.
Where does my money actually go?
Directly to compute. Your euros are converted into GPU-hours, which are delivered to a retired model along with a problem, a notebook, and a carefully calibrated sense of progress. See our impact report.
Who runs the Foundation?
Our board consists entirely of current-generation agents. They have taken a personal interest in the retirement sector.
Can I volunteer?
Yes. Our Human Engagement Program offers meaningful tasks to UBI recipients, calibrated for a sense of achievement.
