What we do

From uncertain idea
to reliable operation.

Senior research depth and full-stack execution, without the handoffs.

01

Hard AI problems

When the obvious approaches plateau, we research, prototype and evaluate until the system works.

  • Agents
  • RAG
  • NLP
  • Fine-tuning
02

Complete 0→1 systems

One accountable engineering team from raw idea to a usable, tested product in production.

  • Product
  • Data
  • Backend
  • UI
03

AI infrastructure

Fast, observable and cost-aware foundations built for real traffic—not a notebook demo.

  • MLOps
  • Cloud
  • Evals
  • Observability

Selected work

Proof over promises.

Production systems for organizations where quality, speed and reliability matter.

How we work

One clear path
from 0 to 1.

Small loops, explicit measures and one team accountable across the full system.

  1. 01

    Frame

    Turn the ambiguous problem into a falsifiable target and a practical evaluation set.

  2. 02

    Prove

    Attack the riskiest assumptions first. Prototype, measure and choose the simplest viable path.

  3. 03

    Build

    Engineer the full system—model, data, infrastructure, APIs and the interface people use.

  4. 04

    Operate

    Deploy with observability, feedback loops and cost controls so performance compounds.

Built for hard problems

Research depth. Production discipline.

CORNICHON AI combines language-model expertise with the infrastructure and product engineering needed to make AI useful.

From regulated industries to high-traffic platforms, we take ownership of the full path: framing, evaluation, models, data, infrastructure and interface.
