The model picks the bottles. Math picks the pour.
A cabinet of twenty-five pumps with a single mechanical eye above it. Ask for something smoky and bitter and it reads a strange shelf of peated scotch, funky Jamaican rum, wild mezcal and alpine amari, then builds a drink that actually tastes right.

01
The model never pours
A language model chooses which bottles and how much each should lead. A deterministic solver sets the millilitres and holds alcohol, sugar and acid to spec. Ask a model for volumes and you get recipes that read well and taste wrong.

02
Poured by weight
Every pour is closed-loop against a load cell, so thick syrups, worn tubing and voltage drift stop mattering.
-
03
Heavy first
Syrups and acids go in first, spirits on top, so the drink mixes itself on the way down.
-
04
Text, not voice
The eye talks in text only. A bartender with a voice is charming on drink one and unbearable by drink three.
