Lightcap models and the public evidence they work with

Lightcap Small handles fast everyday work; Lightcap Medium takes the deeper reasoning path. Both operate inside the same source-reading, execution, and evidence-settlement system.

Available models

  1. Lightcap Small

    Fast — Fast everyday builds, code, and answers.

    A focused local workflow for everyday building, coding and research. Both effort modes use the same local model.

    Strengths: Fast, Everyday builds, Low latency, Runs & verifies.

  2. Lightcap Medium

    Deep — Deeper reasoning for hard, multi-file work.

    An extended local workflow with additional verification for complex work. Both effort modes use the same local model.

    Strengths: Deep reasoning, Hard problems, Large builds, Correctness.

News-triggered public data atlas

Exact article spans resolve against a versioned public gazetteer before bounded public-data enrichment runs. The current public store contains 243 resolved places and 2159 of 7481 mentions matched to their own coordinates; unresolved names are not moved to a capital.

Heat counts distinct ingested news-event clusters. Grey means no ingested observation, not that nothing exists. A zero is a measured zero. Semantic place confidence is an unvalidated rubric, not a probability.
