The AI coding industry is obsessed with one question:
"Which model is smarter?"
Claude?
Gemini?
Codex?
But after months of working with all of them, I started noticing a different problem.
The intelligence gap is shrinking.
The context gap is growing.
Most developers don't use a single AI anymore.
They switch constantly:
Claude → Gemini → Cursor → Codex
Every switch costs time.
Not because the model is weak.
Because the project understanding disappears.
The industry has spent enormous effort improving generation quality.
But very little effort improving continuity.
Imagine if every time you opened Git, your commit history vanished.
That's effectively what happens to project context today.
This observation became the foundation of Contorium.
We're exploring a simple idea:
What if project understanding lived in the workspace instead of the conversation?
What if AI tools could inherit context from each other?
What if switching models didn't mean starting over?
I don't think the next generation of developer tools will be defined by a single AI model.
I think they'll be defined by how well multiple AIs work together.
That's the problem we're interested in exploring.
