Gestalt Lab 🇨🇦

Independent Canadian Open Reasoning Research

GestaltLabs is the research home for the Nemostein, Ornstein, CRUCIBLE, Acta, NSC-ACE, and related model lines by DJLougen. We build, curate, and release open-weight artifacts for practical reasoning systems: multimodal assistants, tool-using agents, local GGUF deployments, and post-training experiments around capability preservation, refusal shaping, and high-signal synthetic data.

Principles

• Ship open artifacts that people can inspect, run, and adapt
• Pair model releases with practical local inference formats (GGUF, MLX, etc.)
• Treat datasets as first-class research objects, not just training fuel
• Explore behavior editing while measuring capability drift and documenting limitations
• Build for researchers, tinkerers, and builders who want systems they can actually run locally
