Programmed Interface Compression

Turn experience into infrastructure.

Programmed Interface Compression finds the hidden structure inside repeated work, removes unnecessary repetition, and builds what works into shared state -- so less instruction produces more capability.

The idea / Programmed Interface Compression

Repeated work contains triggers, decisions, exceptions, and handoffs that nobody documented as one system. Programmed Interface Compression (PIC) makes those cause-and-effect relationships visible, removes unnecessary steps and repetition, and builds what works into an engineered, evolving codebook.

Spark X2.5 4B: reasoning budget changes the result

On one fixed test, a budget setting moved accuracy from 24% to 79%. The video shows the measured boundary and why unfinished reasoning can make a capable model unusable.

Qwen3.6-35B: Q4 versus Q6

In our installed comparison, Q4 ran nearly three times faster while retaining about 98% of the measured quality. A concrete example of why the useful quant is not always the largest one.

The operator and the studio.

HMIC is an independent research and publishing studio.

HMIC builds inspectable human-AI systems, tests local models in complete working configurations, and publishes the resulting software, benchmarks, videos, and books.

The public artifacts are part of the method: finished work makes the underlying system inspectable.
