About
A small research lab with a specific focus.
The name
Oblìo is Italian for oblivion. The full term — oblìo catastrofico — translates to catastrophic forgetting, the phenomenon where neural networks lose previously learned knowledge when trained on new tasks. It's the core problem we study.

What we do
We study why fine-tuned language models lose previously learned capabilities, and we're building tools to prevent it. Our work spans continual learning strategies, LoRA/QLoRA adapter workflows, and open-source tooling — with a focus on reproducible experiments and open results.
Infrastructure
We run experiments on a mix of local hardware and cloud compute.
| Machine | Specs | Use |
|---|---|---|
| MacBook Pro M4 Pro | 24 GB unified | Dev, prototyping, small inference |
| MacBook Pro M5 Pro | 48 GB unified | Medium inference, local experiments |
| Workstation | NVIDIA RTX 4000, 24 GB | LoRA/QLoRA fine-tuning, training |
| Cloud | On-demand GPUs/TPUs | Large-scale training |
