Project Wen

Illuminating Ancient Verse.

Status: Active R&D / Coming 2026

Project Wen (文) is an initiative to reconnect with the soul of Ancient Chinese poetry.

In a world of abundant information, Wen helps us slow down and illuminate, feel, and savor the profound beauty of classical verse—transforming static text into a living, resonant experience.

R&D Focus Areas

  • Deciphering Flavor: Moving beyond literal translation to capture the wei (taste) and emotional resonance of the original work.
  • Contextual Guides: AI aids that provide historical and cultural depth, acting as a bridge across millennia rather than just a dictionary.
  • Hyper-Local AI: Privacy-first architecture running complex inference including vision and text generation entirely on-device or on private infrastructure.

Engineering Highlights

  • Polyglot Architecture: High-performance Go nodes orchestrating local LLM runtimes.
  • Offline-First: Fully reproducible data pipelines built with DVC.
  • Multimodal Generation: Integrated ComfyUI workflows for generative visualizations that accompany the verse.
