Build Week
July 13–212026
Building a system that lets autonomous agents investigate real media. Korean-to-English is the first proof case, not the boundary.
- Why 1321 has to existKorean media crossed the world. Understanding it still has not. This is the problem we are spending Build Week on.manifesto
- When translation needs investigationLocalization workflows move media through a configured route. 1321 is testing whether difficult media needs investigation before conversion.note
- Freeze the test before you score itWe locked three test clips and a human-reviewed answer key. Only a new run made after that lock can produce the first score.note
- Abstention is not correctnessPrepared 1321 withheld six of 13 critical units and preserved five. Refusing to answer can be useful, but it earns no meaning credit.score
- Senses are not understandingWe wired acoustic, frame, OCR, and speaker evidence behind grants and receipts. That proves inspection of bytes, not that the system understood the video.note
- Do not turn the video into a courseLearning can begin inside media someone already cares about. The product should support that curiosity without replacing the video or claiming mastery.note
- When the instruction replaced the translationWe added one note meant to prevent a Korean family-relationship mistake. On two test clips, the translator repeated the note instead of the speech.failure
- A phrase is smaller than its meaningSelecting an exact span makes the question precise, but the context needed to answer it may still live across the caption, speaker, scene, and earlier moment.note
