License
KWAM is licensed directly: a single CHF 10,000,000 perpetual license, and half of every license feeds hungry children worldwide.
We chose a single, flat number over a maze of tiers because the value is defensible, auditable resilience, easier to stand behind when the terms are simple enough to read in a breath.
One price, paid once. No metering. No expiry.
A frontier training run on 10,000 H100s costs $2–5M in compute per week. One silent corruption event — a flipped weight shard, a quietly-dropped checkpoint, a replicated bad gradient — can invalidate the entire run. KWAM detects that event with cryptographic certainty and keeps recovery bounded. The license recovers its cost the first time it holds.
Half of every license goes directly to feeding hungry children. This is what that looks like to KWAM AI:
CHF 5,000,000 from every license, fifty percent, is directed to feeding hungry children worldwide. This is not a rounding error bolted onto the invoice. It is the reason the price is what it is. A license funds the work and puts food in front of a child who would otherwise go without. When an AI company purchases KWAM, half the transaction feeds children. That is not incidental — it is structural.
KWAM is licensed directly under a written agreement. Tell us about your organisation and we'll take it from there, or email ai@kwam.ch.
No payment is collected on this page. The CHF 10,000,000 license and the CHF 5,000,000 pledge are set by KWAM and confirmed in the executed agreement.
One license unlocks the complete system: the language, the SDK, the deterministic codec runtime, the orchestrator, the server, the client, and the docs, source included.
The full DSL: lexer, parser, interpreter, and Kwam.run, for declaring resilience policy as checked, content-verified code.
from kwam import protect, recover: fail-closed, SHA-gated erasure coding in two calls, embeddable in your own Python.
Deterministic Reed–Solomon / LRC / fountain codecs and the durability math: the canonical resilience oracle.
The reconstruction orchestrator and continuous healer. Advisory only: it never mints consent and never produces a data byte.
The observability server: NMS engine, routing, chipsets, millibit accounting, space-weather, and the live HUD.
The read-only responder, the installer, and the server-side consent verifier: install gated on an externally-minted, signed, single-use token.
The canonical vocabulary, shared across every component: ports, capabilities, sandbox tiers, and the consent shape.
The honesty-locked benchmark harness and the open, decodable AI-manifest tool: never a covert payload.
The authored design docs and the AI handoff set: the single source of truth, versioned with the code.
When your agreement is executed you receive a complete replication of the private KWAM repository: the entire source tree and its history, mirrored to your organisation and pinned to a signed, content-addressed release. Not a binary. Not a subset. The whole codebase, verifiable to the bit.
# after your licence is executed — illustrative
git clone --mirror git@<kwam-licensing-remote>:kwam.git
cd kwam.git
git verify-tag v3.1.0 # signed + content-addressed
git push --mirror git@your-org:kwam.git
# then, in your own Python
