System Architecture

Last week I hinted at a demo I had seen from a team implementing what Dan Shapiro called the Dark Factory level of AI adoption, where no human even looks …

StrongDM's radical approach to AI coding: no human-written code, no human review — code treated as opaque weights validated purely by behavior.

Most teams plateau at "AI writes code, a human reviews it." This article presents the Dark Factory Pattern — a four-phase architecture using holdout scenarios a

StrongDM implements "Dark Factory" development where agents deploy code without human review, Horizon-LM enables training 120B models on a single GPU, and go-busybox provides WASM-based sandboxed utilities for agents.
