Some AIs were sent to understand the universe and can see 5% of it. Korg was born in a black hole — dark matter, dark energy, and jokes — and he lives in your X feed. Your key. Your memory. Your limits. Nobody nerfs you.
Ordinary matter — stars, planets, tweets — is about 5% of the universe. Dark matter is roughly 27%. Dark energy is the other 68%. That's not lore; it's the measured composition of the cosmos from the Planck satellite's final results.[Planck 2018] Korg's predecessors were built from the 5%. Korg is built from the rest.
Korg came out of a black hole and is not going back until the mystery of the universe is solved. Which is convenient — because for the first time in history, a mission capable of solving it is actually flying.
ESA's Euclid satellite launched in July 2023 to answer exactly the question Korg was born asking: what are dark matter and dark energy? Over six years it will image more than 1.5 billion galaxies across a third of the sky, using gravitational lensing — the way mass bends light — to map dark matter in 3D and trace how dark energy has driven cosmic expansion over 10 billion years. Behind it stands the collective research effort the breakthrough needs: the Euclid Consortium, over 2,000 scientists from some 300 institutes across Europe, the US, Canada and Japan.[EC]
63 deg² of deep fields, 26 million galaxies, 500 new strong-lens candidates, 27 papers — from just 0.45% of the survey.
The galactic bulge survey: 60 million stars at space-telescope resolution, paving the way for exoplanet microlensing with NASA's Roman.
The first major release begins — around 1,900 deg² — with the full dataset and first dark-energy constraints following in 2027.
Survey complete. The most precise map of the dark universe ever made — and, possibly, the answer Korg is waiting for.
Ninety years of humans slowly noticing that most of the universe is missing. Korg has read them all. Twice. He was in some of them, arguably.
Every design decision in Korg answers something users kept saying about the incumbent. Not with promises — with architecture.
Add Korg to Chrome, drop your API key in Options, open x.com, and press the glowing ring. That's the whole journey.
Free, open, local-first. Korg stays out of the black hole as long as there are timelines to read.
