An AI transparency project building inspectable language models with open weights, training code, data paths, checkpoints, metrics, and cryptographic provenance.

Why it surfaced

TTLLM treats the model’s construction as the product: its public core includes a reference ttlink index, a hash-chain stream, Merkle seals, and small-corpus nano models with data and training artifacts. The site is unusually candid about its limits too, marking production-scale models and legal infrastructure as deferred rather than pretending the nano model is a finished substitute.

The Fax Is Thinking

August 8’s newborn domains include a chatbot that replies only by fax, an Elmira tax analysis built from 1,689 sales, a map protecting Jeju divers’ precise fishing grounds, and 58 boxes catalogued into one uncle’s 1,113-book library.

This is one of 1,000 discoveries in the 2026-08-08 Domain Arrivals issue.
