AI models built close to the hardware.

Geocentric builds compact language models and the systems that train them, with a focus on capability per parameter, fast iteration, and efficient use of hardware you can actually own.

SYSTEMS MEASUREMENTS
APPLE M4

Measure the systems, not the story.

Geocentric benchmarks the pieces that determine whether local model work is actually practical: generation speed, training throughput, and memory use.

18.9%

higher generation throughput

74.26 → 88.27 tokens/sec in a controlled Apple M4 inference comparison after bounded KV storage and sampling-path changes.

M4 GENERATION TEST
65.4%

less optimizer-state memory

Measured for experimental balanced momentum in an embedding-heavy 11.2M-parameter configuration.

OPTIMIZER STATE / CONTROLLED TEST
~10%

faster context-folding pass

Context folding reached about 1.10× throughput in the M4 systems ablation at the same measured token count.

MPS TRAINING ABLATION
EPICYCLE

Spend compute where it matters.

EPICYCLE is Geocentric's training-efficiency system for getting more useful work from constrained hardware without changing the model's ordinary inference architecture.

DEFERENT

Grow depth during training

Start shallow and activate later layers as the run develops.

HORIZON

Fold context before expanding it

Train on shorter independent segments before moving to full context.

EQUANT

Focus token loss

Experiment with selective token-loss bands after warmup.

ARMILLARY

Cut persistent optimizer state

Trade exact dense optimizer state for more model capacity.

The model has a face.

Geocentric's earth-themed character is part of the model identity, not a generic mascot pasted onto the company after the fact.

The same visual language carries through the model family: grounded, technical, a little unconventional, and unmistakably Geocentric.
