Berpiztu (Basque: to be reborn) is an initiative for AI rebirth: AI that works from values and character rather than constraints alone, and the tools to build and run it.
Founded and built by Iosu Buenetxea, who created and maintains the projects below.
| Project | What it is |
|---|---|
| Virtus | AI alignment research: values, not constraints. Paper: doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.21127304 |
| Virtus Labs | Reproducible experiments and benchmarks that put Virtus under pressure against real models, to produce evidence, not just claims |
| WSLC AI Agent | Local agent and MCP server for WSLC (Windows Subsystem for Linux Containers): a web dashboard, Windows and Android clients, and a skill for Claude and other AI agents |
| KeyPlus | The keys a phone's keyboard lacks (Esc, Tab, Ctrl, Alt, the arrows…), sent to a terminal, an SSH app or a web editor: as a strip above any keyboard, or as Berpiztu AI Keyboard, a keyboard of its own, for any Android and for a headset (Galaxy XR) |
| security-watch | The libraries Berpiztu's projects use, checked every day against the known vulnerabilities, each library once for all of them |
Everything we release is checked against the public vulnerability databases, the GitHub Advisory Database and OSV.dev, before it ships:
- No release build skips the check. Every build that makes something we publish (the installers and apps of our projects) first asks security-watch, and stops on any library with a known vulnerability of moderate severity or worse, the .NET runtime included.
- No release ships unchecked. A release is made only from a list of libraries that security-watch has checked.
- Checked every day. Every library of every project is checked again each morning, and a new vulnerability opens an alert the same day.
- In the open. The history of every vulnerability ever found in our projects, from the day it appeared to the day it was fixed, is public: HISTORY.md.
- No secrets in our code. Every public repository has GitHub's secret scanning and push protection on.
