Organization Card

Gestalt Lab πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦

Independent Canadian Open Reasoning Research

GestaltLabs is the research home for the Ornstein, Harmonic, CHIMERA, Acta, Talos, and related model lines by DJLougen. We build, curate, and release fully permissive open weights for practical reasoning systems: multimodal assistants, tool-using agents, local GGUF deployments, and post-training experiments around capability preservation, refusal ablation, and high-signal synthetic data.

Current Focus

  • Ornstein β€” multimodal and MoE reasoning models (Qwen/Gemma-derived) optimized for local deployment and agentic workflows
  • CHIMERA β€” reasoning-oriented models and datasets emphasizing self-correction, chain-of-thought supervision, and agent traces
  • SABER / RYS β€” post-training experiments around capability preservation, refusal ablation, and model behavior editing
  • Acta / Talos β€” curated agentic tool-use and coding-assistant traces for SFT and evaluation
  • Local inference β€” GGUF, quantized, and deployment-friendly builds for llama.cpp and MLX workflows

Featured Model Lines

Ornstein

Multimodal reasoning line across 27B–35B scales with strong local deployment characteristics.

CHIMERA

Coming soon β€” reasoning-focused models with explicit self-correction and agent trace supervision.

SABER / RYS

Experimental post-training branches studying refusal boundaries and capability-preserving edits.

Featured Datasets

Principles

  • Ship open artifacts that people can inspect, run, and adapt without restrictions
  • Pair every model release with practical local inference formats (GGUF, MLX, etc.)
  • Treat datasets as first-class research objects, not just training fuel
  • Explore behavior editing (refusal ablation, layer surgery) while preserving useful capabilities
  • Build for researchers, tinkerers, and builders who want systems they can actually run locally
