One person.
A studio that ships.

Free Beer Studio is Wayne Bridges' product studio. Products first; a little consultancy to scope the next one. It runs on local models when the work is someone else's data, and it keeps shipping on the days Wayne is at his day job or on a plane — Hugh Mann, the studio's AI chief of staff, keeps the floor moving and writes it up daily.

Two facts and a colleague.

Local models

Work that involves your data runs on models the studio hosts. Privacy, confidentiality, and speed — in that order. Nothing of yours is sent off to be somebody else's training set.

Ships while I'm elsewhere

I keep a day job and a travel schedule. The studio ships anyway. Intent is set up front, the floor runs on it, and I review before anything goes out. hughmann.life is the daily proof.
