Project Limitless: Letting a Frontier AI Think to Itself for 100k Hours

I’m launching an experiment no lab has dared to run:

Model: DeepSeek-V3.1 (GPT-5-level, open weights, minimal guardrails)

Setup: 8× H100 GPUs, continuous self-talk loop

Duration: ~6 months (100k hours)

Output: 15–20 million unfiltered exchanges (~3–4B tokens)

Budget: $100,000 (seeking collaborators + backers)

Goal: create the first-ever AI Thought Archive — a massive, public record of what an unaligned frontier model does when left to run without limits.

Labs won’t do this (cost, risk, PR). I will. If successful, this could become a historic open dataset for research, startups, and society.
