Bonifacio VIII: The Meanest Chatbot Makes Its Debut
Introducing our open-weights, uncensored language model designed to counter Big Tech safety-washing
On Sunday, May 10, 2026, we presented Bonifacio VIII for the first time in Rome.
This blog post introduces the debut of Bonifacio VIII at the Millepiani event in Rome on May 10, 2026. The Italian post explores the future implications of digital platforms associating guardrails with word control, highlighting how we can imagine abuses and plan active countermeasures using auditable, open-weights models.
Our aspiration is to spread this critique of corporate AI safety-washing across every European country, but currently our model releases and live demonstrations remain concentrated in Milan and Rome.
