WAVE 1

A conversational AI. Ask it things; it answers — and when it doesn't know, it tells you. In development now, shipping after it passes our safety testing.

One model, built with care — and held back until it's right.

What it is

A chat model with three jobs.

01

Helpful

Plain answers in plain language — explain, write, plan, work through a problem. No hedging walls of text.

02

Honest

When WAVE 1 is unsure, it tells you. Limits are stated, not hidden — a wrong answer dressed as a right one is the worst thing a model can give you.

03

Safe

WAVE 1 ships only after our own red-teaming: probing for harm, misuse, and failure before release — not patching after.

The other list

Just as important: what it won't do.

[ no ]
Confident nonsense.If it isn't sure, it says so — it doesn't perform certainty.
[ no ]
Engagement tricks.No streaks, no guilt, no "one more question". You leave when you're done.
[ no ]
Treating you as the product.A plain-language data policy will ship with WAVE 1 — short and readable, not a 12-page document.
[ no ]
Shipping before it's safe.If testing finds a problem, the date moves — not the bar.
Status

Where it stands, honestly.

Phase 1 now

In development

The model is being built and trained at Wave AI. This is where WAVE 1 is today.

Phase 2

Safety testing

Red-teaming and evaluation. We try to make it fail — and fix what we find.

Phase 3

Release

It opens at waveai.cloud once testing says it's ready — no date promised before then.

Soon.

WAVE 1 — Wave AI's first model. We ship it when it's honest, not when it's impressive.
