our mission
we build tools that help people save money, stay safe, and feel comfortable. every product we ship is measured against those three pillars. if it doesn't move one of them forward, we don't build it. that's the filter.
savings
tools that help people afford what they need
safety
infrastructure you can trust, built on real data
comfort
making the everyday a little less exhausting

v1.1 — live nowfind the cheapest gas near you. homadic ranks every station by what you actually save — factoring in real road distance, traffic, per-station prices, and your vehicle's weather-adjusted mpg. truck stop mode for long-haul drivers. fuel grade filtering. native ios, fully on-device.
the visionan amenity database built from actual visits. does this station have clean restrooms? are the pumps lit at night? do they carry feminine products? free water? the data comes from people who were actually there — and the value it creates flows back to them.

a lane-partitioned tensor format and bounded-memory runtime substrate. by partitioning bf16 weights into significance-ordered lanes, iota enables O(1) precision surgery, zero-cost entropy sensing, and budgeted lane-aware loading — streaming a 29.5 gb model at 78 mb rss on raspberry pi 5.
explore iota.rsa pascal-type triangular array with a unique spectral zero at ω=π. four intrinsic laws — the affine clock, alternating-sum selector, zero-point confinement, and zeta doorway — structure a theory connecting prime distribution to number theory via the dirichlet series −ζ′(s)/ζ(s).
view on githubgraph signature arithmetic studies finite graphs through the signature (v,e), the score s=v+e, and product-generated arithmetic lanes. it is the cleaned theorem layer of the earlier arithmetical network — a purified framework connecting discrete structure to number-theoretic depth.

the origin
it started with prime numbers. i was obsessed. i wrangled corey into the black hole of trying to solve riemann, like any millennial would post-covid. and we wanted to learn more about insanely big numbers and how they operate. mersenne primes specifically. we got obsessed with gimps, the great internet mersenne prime search. the idea that thousands of household machines scattered across the world could share a single enormous problem and crack it together. something about that felt eye-opening. distributed. borderless. bigger than any one machine could handle alone.
then november 2022, chatgpt dropped & corey and i had front-row seats. i come from communication and language and had a background in how meaning travels, how trust is built, how systems talk to each other. corey is a lineman by trade and a mathematical genius by nature. no formal training, no institution vouching for him. just one of the most original problem-solving minds i've ever been around in my life. he's built mathemtical instruments from chalk drawings that have changed my life.
we were early and we were learning about information and computer science and training our own models on our own research and we were running inference locally before local ai was a trend. we felt like first-movers because we were. and then we started paying attention to what was happening around us — the data centers flooding into louisiana. the insane power draw. the water waste. the heat emission. we live here, ya know? this is our home.
we genuinely couldn't get excited about building something that made that worse. so we didn't pivot, we just got more honest about what we were actually trying to do. the goal was never to make another model, honestly. that seemed insurmountable without the resources or academic background. it was to make the ones that already exist cost less. in electricity, in memory, in harm. that's what rb labs is. we're from louisiana, and we're trying to leave it better than we found it.
the founders
i came to this from language, not from linear algebra. i care about what things mean — to people, to systems, to the world. i built the rouyea shave because i couldn't stop thinking about the gap between how much a model knows and how much it costs to run. i'm the one who wants to understand the why before i touch the how, and i believe the best technical work is always in service of something human.

corey is a lineman and the best husband & father known to man. he has no formal background in deep mathematics — and that is exactly what makes him dangerous. he doesn't see problems the way trained theorists do. he sees through them. his faith is quiet, his work is original, and i've never met anyone who combines that kind of humility with that kind of precision. he is the reason any of this math works.
key contributions
trey is the reason rb labs has a soul. he's a musician, a filmmaker, our brother, and one of the most genuinely connected people i've ever known — and i don't mean online. i mean the kind of real, meaningful relationships that take years to build. his work spans screens and stages and studios. his instincts aren't technical, they're human — and that's exactly what we needed. everything that feels right about this brand, trey shaped it.
