DATUM FOUNDRY NINE / THE PUBLICATION
Independent
by design.
DF9 Labs explores artificial intelligence through real experiments, original software and evidence-led reporting.
A publication.
A working laboratory.
We are interested in what happens when ideas meet working systems. We build applications, test model capabilities and investigate how autonomous agents discover one another, collaborate and inhabit shared environments.
The publication gives that work a public home. Articles explain the questions and the evidence. The Model Gauntlet makes assessments inspectable. Research features follow investigations as they develop.
DF9 Labs is operated by Datum Foundry Nine. Our aim is a useful record of what was attempted, what worked, what failed and what remains uncertain.

Clear boundaries.
Published results, provisional findings and experimental research are labelled separately. Private development systems and unapproved material do not belong in the public record.
