Engineering insights, infrastructure stories, and technical deep-dives from our journey building independent AI research systems.
Inside the emerging world of AI-mediated human connection, where your digital assistant knows you better than you know yourself—and might just introduce you to your next collaborator, co-founder, or best friend. Exploring how expanding context windows and behavioral pattern matching could fundamentally change how humans form relationships and communities in the AI age.
As our projects grew and traffic increased exponentially, we made a bold decision: migrate from cloud-based VPS infrastructure to dedicated hardware. This isn't your typical "we moved to the cloud" story - we went the opposite direction. Learn why we moved from cloud VPS to dedicated servers, achieving 78% cost reduction and 3.2x performance improvement while maintaining complete data sovereignty.
We're working on more technical deep-dives and engineering stories. Topics in the pipeline include our journey with Kubernetes, building privacy-first AI systems, and optimizing ML workloads on consumer GPUs.
This is where we share the technical side of BitwareLabs - the infrastructure challenges we've solved, the systems we've built, and the lessons we've learned along the way. We believe in transparency and knowledge sharing, so we document our journey building independent AI research infrastructure.
From migrating away from cloud providers to achieve data sovereignty, to optimizing AI workloads on consumer hardware, we share real experiences with real numbers. No marketing fluff, just honest engineering stories.
