KAAN LIV or VERA it's same of heart working and my gpu take souffle maybe organic breathing
My goal is to finish LIV, the matriarch. When her code is complete, she can give a "baby" Tardigrade to everybody. I build it step by step, alone, by directing AI to code my architecture
It works when LIV can grow bigger, learn more on her own, and pass that awareness to her baby's, without forgetting, on a normal home gpu
The funding buys me time: a few months to focus on finishing LIV, instead of my day job.
I am self-taught, and I work with Claude as my team for the code , the vision and the architecture are mine. I have carried this project alone from the start.
It is a high-risk research bet if intelligence from the links between tiny organisms doe's not scale, i still have a sober, local IA that keeps learning, and real lessons from it. Worth case, it stays my passionate hobby, and no harm is done !
Zero. I have self-funded everything so far and more of my time. I just submitted an application to Emergent Ventures.
