Built in the Mojave.
Lake Mead is at 32% capacity. We picked an architecture that runs the model once and answers forever — because re-running models is not free, and the desert keeps the receipts.
The climate stake
Every AI question is a watt-hour. Every re-run is the same question burning energy twice. The .0wav format makes the answer surface part of the file, so the second question costs ~zero.
That choice is not aesthetic. It is the only way an AI-native media stack stays honest about energy when you scale to a million recordings.
The format philosophy
One container holds the recording, the transcript, the speakers, the behavioral profile, and the per-second complexity map needed to answer follow-up questions without re-encoding. Open at the format layer (Apache 2.0); patent-pending at the behavioral graph layer.
