FULL INTERVIEW: Engineers Edward Coristine (@as400495) and Tai Groot (@taigrr) just released an ML model called Rampart for the National Design Studio.
It’s a local-first, open-source AI privacy model that runs entirely in the browser.
They joined TBPN to explain the model and why the National Design Studio launched it.
0:25 – National Design Studio launches Rampart 1:40 – Why Rampart is open source 2:40 – How NDS trained the model 3:55 – Use cases for the model 5:25 – How NDS thinks about side quests 6:25 – Team size, workflow, and why they work seven days a week 8:00 – Recruiting top talent to the National Design Studio
Edward Coristine (@as400495): Tomorrow, we’re releasing an ML model for on-device PII redaction, which is far smaller than existing models, but is surprisingly effective. It is a first iteration. Will be live at 12:30!
