First Result in 10 Minutes
Connect your favorite agent harness (Claude Code, Cursor, Cline) to a Colab session and run probe-causality experiments by conversation. No GPU on your laptop. No data leaves your compute.

Run the three cells
The third prints a line that starts with

First experiment — paste in your agent
/colab-attach https://abc123.ngrok-free.app
# the agent connects, prints loaded model + probes
Capture L20 at end_question for "Solve x^2 = 4".
Then run causality_protocol on saturation-direction-L20 with labels [1].Total time from Colab attach to first verdict: ~30 seconds.
What you can do next
- Read the architecture — privacy model, what lives where, why no hosted inference.
- Browse papers — methodology and findings driving the toolkit.
- The methodology behind the protocol — paper-6, the three mandatory causality checks.
Your model, your compute, your keys. We just route the conversation.
