The laboratory.
Edge Quantum 65 is a research and development laboratory, in Lannemezan, in the Hautes-Pyrénées. I work there alone. A laboratory lives on what it can prove: here, each building block is first validated on a test bench, with figures that anyone can verify. What is not measured is not published.
Two activities, one laboratory.
The laboratory has two activities. The first, embedded technology: modules that are installed on a machine, learn its usual operation and alert staff before the breakdown. The second, the technology portfolio: documented dossiers, offered for assignment — other forms on a case-by-case basis; the most advanced are frozen and timestamped.
Both come from the same place and the same method. That is the laboratory: not a product, but what produces them.
What is installed in the machine
A local module designed to observe a machine, learn its usual operation and warn before the breakdown. Validated in simulation; the first real-machine trial is still ahead. Nothing leaves without the client's decision.

Complete dossiers: problem, state of the art, solution, technical contributions, evidence. Shared under a confidentiality agreement, for an assignment — other forms on a case-by-case basis.

It is the training laboratory. In chess, the result is clear-cut — you win or you lose — and it is a demanding testing ground for everything related to NNUE: quantization, incremental update, calibration.
What is validated here is then transposed onto physical machines, where the truth is no longer a result but a consumption, a vibration, a temperature.
| Item | Measured state | Verification |
|---|---|---|
| UCI engine | Implementation in C and in Rust | laboratory repositories |
| Network | an embedded neural network — topology, activation and quantization not published (know-how) | not disclosed |
| Opening book | 1,990,000 Polyglot positions | book.bin · UCI loading |
| Search | Alpha-beta, transposition table, killer moves, history, MVV-LVA, quiescence | source code |
| Tests | 135 tests passing | cargo test (host, 5 Rust projects) · 19/10/2026 |
| External dependency | shakmaty 0.30 (public reference) | Cargo.toml |
What broke is published too. In late July, five critical defects were identified in the Rust port — enumeration offset, mirroring of the black perspective, output scaling factor, UCI stop flag, move priority order — then fixed. The correction traces are kept in the code history.
Two demonstrators.
Parametric enclosure
Design, not yet printed. An open enclosure, drawn in parametric CAD and printable. Two slots for fasteners, screwed cover. Designed to be potted in resin once sealed.
80 × 50 × 30 mm · PETG or ABSSensor chain
Acquisition of vibration, temperature and current on a microcontroller, then injection into the neural network.

How I work.
Proof before publication
Every published figure must be reproducible against the code or the laboratory's inventory. Otherwise it stays internal.
Timestamping
Important milestones — bench results, decisions, reviews — are timestamped (a dated hash receipt). The proof exists without any server holding the content.
One thing at a time
I work on a single topic per session, I do not touch code that works, and I improvise no optimization.
On the publication of code. The laboratory works in private repositories: the final weights, the keys and the industrial secrets never leave the workshop. The software components intended for the public are published progressively, as they are stripped of these elements.
Lannemezan, Hautes-Pyrénées.
I work in Lannemezan, in the Hautes-Pyrénées. I do everything myself, from the first to the last gesture: I write the software, I wire the sensors, I assemble the module. The company is being created.
