Independent Research & Engineering Lab · Based in Türkiye
TLabs Technology
Independent applied research in compilers, text infrastructure, and AI systems. Built in Türkiye.
"We build the tools we wish existed."
What We Do
Foundational Technologies
TLabs builds quiet infrastructure — compilers, Unicode engines, and model architectures — that power modern text systems. We prioritize correctness, determinism, and long-term stability over benchmarks or marketing.
As a private R&D lab, we focus on foundational technologies without investors or external deadlines. This independence allows us to pursue long-term engineering over hype — designing compilers, text engines, and deterministic language models with the rigor they require.
Our work is internally developed and released only when meaningful.
Selected Work
Selected Research Initiatives
T-AI One
Deterministic Inference Engine
Experimental inference architecture exploring deterministic execution, Metal-accelerated kernels, and transparent model behavior. Focused on correctness, repeatability, and low-level GPU scheduling.
t-ai.one →
Sengi
Retrieval Pipeline
A real-world exploration of clean text ingestion, Unicode-safe pipelines, and transparent retrieval. Built to validate our research in production.
sengi.surf →
MiniSwift
Compiler Frontend
GPU-accelerated Swift compiler frontend. Lexer, parser, and semantic engine on Metal. Extremely fast AST and symbol resolution.
miniswift.run →
Decoder
Unicode Engine
UTF-8 / Unicode 17.1 GPU decoding engine. WebGPU, Metal, and C fallback. The first gate of any text pipeline.

Philosophy
Small & Independent by Design
TLabs operates as a research-first organization, not a product-first company. Our ideas are published only when meaningful — we don't chase release cycles or external validation.
Without external funding pressure, we can focus entirely on infrastructure quality. This means taking the time to get things right: correct Unicode handling, deterministic model behavior, and compilers that don't cut corners.
"We don't try to be loud. We try to be correct."
About
TLabs Technology
TLabs Technology is an independent research lab founded by Uğur Toprakdeviren in Türkiye. Our work spans compilers, language models, and Unicode infrastructure.
While much of the research is developed internally, TLabs operates with the philosophy and rigor of a focused engineering group. We believe that meaningful contributions to foundational software require patience, precision, and independence from market pressures.
