SimpleDirect Information

AI you can own. SimpleDirect® builds open-source Canadian AI — production-grade models trained on sovereign Canadian compute, deployable on your infrastructure, bilingual at production parity. Real models you can audit, modify, and own. Not API access in someone else's cloud. Shipped: → flash-1-mini (4B, Apache 2.0) — Canadian legal-regulatory AI. Runs on a MacBook. Released June 2026. → CBLRE — first published bilingual Canadian legal AI benchmark. Open-source, expert-reviewed, vendor-neutral. Coming: → flash-1 (9B) — September 2026. Operational threshold for production legal work. → flash-1-pro (27B MoE) — Q4 2026. Production-grade capability ceiling. → Specialized variants — Quebec civil law, federal workflows, regulated industries — through early 2027. Who we deploy for: Federal departments. Quebec government. Large law firms. Regulated enterprises (insurance, banking, healthcare-adjacent). Multi-year contracts. We ship specific capability, not consulting hours. Why it matters: Most enterprise AI today is closed weights, US-routed inference, no audit, no portability. Canadian regulated industries can't safely use it for privileged work. We ship the alternative. Funded by Canadian government R&D backing. Not VC. Not LP capital. The thesis: AI you can own — not AI that owns you. Operating as Alpine Pacific Trading Inc.
