Milestone-Based Allocation Plan ($50,000 Minimum Threshold / $200,000 Target):
Phase 1: SDK Packaging & Initial Benchmark Suite ($50,000 Minimum Viable Target)
• Core Open-Source Middleware ($25,000): Package A1M/GRACE logic into a production-ready Python SDK (axiom1) with low-latency API proxy middleware (<50ms).
• Red-Teaming Benchmark Dataset ($15,000): Construct and release a 2,000-sample public dataset evaluating sycophancy and concessive drift under multi-turn adversarial stress.
• Investigator & Engineering Time ($10,000): Dedicated lead researcher focus, code maintenance, and mathematical proof optimization.
Phase 2: Scale-Up & Enterprise Compute Infrastructure ($150,000 Additional Expansion)
• High-Performance Compute & Frontier APIs ($100,000): Large-scale H100/A100 GPU cluster access & API credits for extensive stress-testing across OpenAI, Anthropic, and Llama 3 models.
• Advanced Engineering & Technical Services ($35,000): CUDA optimization for real-time inference latency reduction and formal verification validation.
• Safety Audits & Dissemination ($15,000): Independent peer-reviewed red-teaming audits, open-access repository hosting, and presentation at major AI safety conferences.
