Historical model
Our first model. A focused beginning in bilingual Canadian legal and regulatory work.
Read the original model card
A historical bilingual model for legal research and drafting. After downloading the model and a compatible runtime, it can run offline on a suitable computer without an external server. Its model card preserves the original evaluation and trade-offs.
It can produce incorrect information. Citations require primary-source checks. Reported trade-offs include retrieval, function calling, and some French legal tasks. It does not replace professional judgment.
SimpleDirect-Flash-1-Mini was our first-ever published model. We began with bilingual Canadian legal work: better citation, instruction-following, balanced English and French competence, and legal reasoning were the goals. A few weeks later, Piccolo 1.0 took its place. We retired Flash from our active lineup, but it remains the beginning of our model story.
Flash is retired from the active lineup. Its model card preserves the release, its evaluation and its trade-offs.
