Developer
Apsi is designed and developed by ATEC, its main developer.
How Apsi was built
Apsi is the work of one developer at ATEC, working together with Claude, the AI model made by Anthropic. Development started on 8 November 2026. Everything from the first version to Apsi 2.4.4 — the language, the checker and compilers, the native and GPU code generation, the Python converter, the standard library, the tools, the documentation and this website — took about 25 hours of active work in total. The hours are the time actually spent working, in sessions spread over several days, not the time on the clock.
This figure is final. It counts the first build of the project, from an empty folder to a finished Apsi 2.4.4, and it will not be updated: 2.4.4 completes that first stage, and later versions are new work.
