Independent research by Rowan Brad Quni-Gudzinas

What computation really costs, and what it delivers.

QNFO is the independent research imprint of Rowan Brad Quni-Gudzinas. The work asks what computation really costs and delivers: energy per correct answer (Joules-per-Solution), what an AI-assisted claim is worth (ignorance audits), and what an autonomous research system actually delivers. Corrections ship as new versions of the same paper.
