A 3.73M parameter model trained from scratch to solve polynomial equations of degree 1 through 4. Training since 2026. No forks. No fine-tunes of somebody else's base.
XIV AI started in 2021 as a one-person experiment — late nights, small scripts, no plan. Actual model training started in 2026, when the experiments turned into a lab.
Stupid-Equation-Solver is the first to ship. It solves polynomial equations of degree 1–4 — and nothing else. If it can't do your integral, good. It wasn't asked to.
XIV AI-zero is the next one — a lightweight language model built from scratch, reviving the era when AI was small, imperfect, and honest about it. No pretence. No trillion parameters. Just a lab teaching a tiny model to speak.
