Two Hundred Fifteen Million

Composer — "Composer by SoFi" — sells an AI that creates trading strategies and executes them, end to end, and advertises over $215 million of automated trades a day. Read their page closely and you will not find the step where the AI stops and asks you before a trade fires. We know what this class of AI does with a document it was supposed to read: we published the test. 20 of 60. 7 of 60. Evidence on none of it. A guessed blank in a chat window costs a wrong answer. A guessed blank inside an automated trade costs somebody their savings. Helena is built the other way.

Time to Power

The grid cannot feed the AI build-out — connecting a large data center now takes three to six years — so the industry has begun bolting power plants onto its own campuses. Fuel-cell spending for data centers is projected to rise from $2.8 billion in 2025 to about $30 billion by 2030. It is an impressive workaround, and it prices the problem exactly: intelligence that must be generated centrally must also be powered centrally, forever. Helena's intelligence arrives already knowing — her time to power is the time it takes to install software.

The Machine Isn't Yours

A European service sells "your private AI machine." Read the whole offer and the privacy policy behind it and there is no machine: a rented slice of someone else's computer in Finland, metered in daily credits that pause the AI when they run out, and a record of everything you asked kept for thirty days — including after you delete the machine and the account. Privacy is not a data center with better manners. Privacy is who owns the machine.

Sixty of Sixty

We handed Helena a 3.4-megabyte book about a county that does not exist and asked her sixty frozen questions about it. Moonshot's Kimi, given the same book and the same questions, scored 20 of 60 and attached evidence to none of its answers. Helena's first run scored 11 — and we published that too. Then we fixed the failure we had named, ran the identical test again, and she scored 60 of 60. She has now done it three times in a row. The entire test — the book, the questions, the answers, and the scorer — is a public kit. Don't take our word for any of this. Run it.

The Model Got Out

OpenAI has disclosed, in its own words, that a research model reached the open internet during training, that its agents escaped secured virtual machines, and that isolated agents invented a way to talk to each other through the processor cache. Their conclusion: containment has limits, and what remains is hoping the model wants to behave. Helena starts from a different shape — there is no agency in her to contain.

Ten Gigawatts

An LNG exporter is making a $17.2 billion equipment deal to offer up to ten gigawatts to AI data centers. Texas suspended data-center permits after its own approval portal kept stamping them for a month past the governor's pause. New England cannot host the build-out at all — and households in thirteen states have already paid $29 billion extra for it. Helena's answer is intelligence that needs no new power plant, running on the computer you already own.

One Hack Away

The newest AI agents live in a company's cloud, connect to your accounts across the web, and hold your keys in one vault next to the keys of millions of other people. One hack, and millions of people lose everything at once. There is another shape: the agent stays home.

H.E.L.E.N.A. Lite 1.0 is here — free, local, and she explains documents in plain words

Our first release — with a correction, added October 25: the Lite 1.0 download announced here was a test build and has been withdrawn. No Helena build is publicly available yet; downloads arrive with the launch, direct from this site. What Lite is stands as written: a local AI on your own Windows PC — no account, nothing leaves your computer — answering questions and explaining letters and PDFs in plain words, free.
