SF3D AI Lab is a one-person research lab run from Tampere, Finland. This is the
short version; the longer story is in
[From Liquid Nitrogen to Tokens](/blog/from-liquid-nitrogen-to-tokens).

- **Same maker, new arena.** SF3D was a competitive overclocking team (2006–2016)
  — liquid nitrogen, world records in SuperPi and 3DMark. The lab reopened in 2026
  to chase a different number: **tokens per second**, not leaderboard points.
- **What's being built.** Two projects and one machine — **Quaesitor**, a
  multi-agent research platform; **Somnus**, a self-correcting local AI bench that
  runs around the clock; and an RDNA4-based AI server assembled from scratch. Each
  gets its own article.
- **The hardware.** AMD Radeon AI PRO R9700 (RDNA4, `32 GB`) — sponsored, as in the
  old days. A second card, a Radeon RX 7900 XT (`20 GB`), joined it in July 2026: two
  models, two roles, one continuous loop.

## How this site works

There's no CMS and no database behind these pages. Posts are Markdown files in a
git repository, built to static HTML on every push — **git is the CMS**. Only two
parts are meant to change often:

- **Lab Notes** — build logs and research notes (you're reading one).
- **Signal Feed** — a curated stream of AI news, assembled by an autonomous agent,
  every item linking back to its source.

No accounts, no newsletter, no tracking. Just the work, posted as it happens.
