What we do
Continuum AI Driven Modules
Why do we exist?
We work with organisations to implement and own their own internal large language models.
We create proprietary models that you own and control. Models that you can customise and integrate with full privacy and security into your workflows. There is no risk of your data leaving your organisation, there is no risk of your exposing your customers data to external third party models.
While generative AI is technology that has the power to transform workflows, lift productivity and deliver competitive edge - it is still a nascent technology. There are many risks associated with opening your organisation up to third party models that you have no control over and no genuine transparency as to how the work.
The real power of generative AI comes from providing it access to your internal data and workflows. You cannot enjoy this power fully unless you own and operate. Apart from the obvious security and competitive issues - as regulation evolves, it will become increasingly difficult to legally allow third party models access to your private data.
These risks do not exist by owning and operating your own large language model. While there is an investment from you, in time and resources - the total cost of ownership is similar to using third party models.
But the pitch is not just about near term economics - by taking a medium to long term view - you can build internal expertise and valuable intellectual property. Every organisation should be building towards being AI literate. This cannot be achieved outsourcing your AI models to third party technology companies.
Productivity benefits
Using generative AI integrated with your organisation's knowledge can create internal knowledge workers that can increase productivity up to 20%.
This is a permanent increase in productivity. Your organisation will be able to generate a major lift in economic output and enhanced decision making - increasing shareholder value.
We believe that the ability to effectively integrate AI into your operations is not in option, but a critical source of future competitive advantage.
Our core thesis is that organisations that continuously develop and integrate AI models into their operations will generate significant edge within their industry.
What sets us apart is our commitment to making AI accessible and easy to implement.
You do not need a large budget or an expert internal team to get started. There is no need to deal with large consultancy firms - it is not that complicated.
Our flexible, modular approach allows you to start small and scale up as your needs evolve. And our team will be with you every step of the way, providing guidance, support, and training to ensure your success.
Please call us and we can explain the process.
From start-ups to large enterprises, we work with companies of all sizes to identify problems that can be solved - and opportunities created - by large language models.

What is our edge?
At Continuum, we have spent years developing a skill set that allows us to deliver industry grade proprietary models.
Continuum Labs is an organisation that comprises two skill sets:
We have genuine deep learning and artificial intelligence capability. We are able to build generative AI models and integrate them with knowledge banks to create powerful applications.
We have a background in industry and capital markets. We understand organisational structure and the sources of competitive advantage. We know what will move the shareholder value dial.
The combination of these skill sets allows us to create AI applications that solve real problems.
We understand how competitive edge is generated - and can design and implement AI applications that provide your business with an advantage.
Team Skill Set
PhD mathematicians who bring a deep understanding of the theoretical foundations of AI and can develop novel algorithms tailored to your specific use case.
Deep learning experts with years of experience in designing, training, and optimising neural networks for maximum performance and efficiency.
GPU infrastructure experts who can build and maintain the high-performance computing environments necessary for large-scale AI deployment, ensuring your models run smoothly and reliably.
Integration experts who can integrate your custom AI solutions with your existing software systems, workflows, and data pipelines, minimising disruption and accelerating time-to-value.
What sets us apart is not just the depth of our expertise, but also the breadth of our capabilities.
By bringing together specialists from multiple disciplines, we can provide end-to-end support for your AI initiatives, from idea generation and development to deployment and ongoing optimisation.
We have developed proprietary methodologies and tools that streamline the AI development process, allowing us to deliver results faster and more cost-effectively than our competitors.
With Continuum, you're not just getting access to AI technology – you're partnering with a team of experts who who have the skills and experience to turn bring AI into your organisation.
Our process
We view this technology as a means to fundamentally change how decisions are made and how people interact with tools and data.
We know the capabilities as well as the limitations of AI models - we can help you find a use case that will add value immediately.
Simply going through the education process will provide you hands on experience as to how these models work, what they can do. Your team will come up with the use cases, your creativity will drive the process.
AI can deliver a new way of decision making, but with that comes cultural change and a shift in workplace practices. The best way to start is slowly.
The first step is to find an initial use case that is:
1. Easy
2. High Value
3. Low risk
4. Low cost
Our experience it is not difficult to find a range of use cases that meat all of these criteria. We find every organisation has a pain point that generative AI can be applied to.
We can have an initial consultation that will demystify artificial intelligence and help you understand what it can and cannot do.
And we can almost be certain, that at the end of the conversation, we will be able to find an interesting use case you can get started on immediately.
What we are not
We create proprietary models customised for you and your organisation.
We do not take off the shelf models, create a user interface and then present it as a unique and 'proprietary' solution.
When dealing with any AI offering, look under the hood - if it is an application built on top of an external model - it is built on a shaky foundation. These are models that are never yours, and cannot be developed into a valuable organisational asset.
If you want to genuinely use AI within your organisation - you cannot rely on external models - apart from the privacy and security issues - you are missing the opportunity to build your own internal AI capability.
Customisation is also important. We do not offer generic 'off the shelf' models'.
All organisations have distinct processes that provide them with a form of competitive edge. Trying to offer a one size fits all AI driven application is not going to integrate and support those organisational processes.
Our models are created for your unique use case.
What is agency?
Your AI models can be created to act as a important member of your organisation - enabled with organisational knowledge, an understanding of your operations and its processes and culture.
But the aspect that delivers the most is their ability for agency.
The term "agency" refers to the capacity to act and make decisions in the world.
AI demonstrates agency by executing tasks that alter the environment or influence outcomes in its domain of operation. This is a powerful feature, that must be carefully controlled with the appropriate guardrails.
Practical Application
The practical application of AI within any organisation must begin slowly and be tightly controlled.
Privacy and security is paramount. It is not advisable to allow members of your organisation to use private models such as ChatGPT. Your data is not just yours, but also your customers. Using external models is fraught with regulatory danger.
The other primary reason to create your own AI models is to begin to create internal AI knowledge, and allow future optionality. If you use third party AI models - you lose this optionality.
