# EMEP: Evolutionary Model Engineering Platform

> EMEP creates new high-performing open-weight LLMs via compatibility analysis, tensor-level model merging, automated evaluation, and evolutionary optimization.

EMEP is a documentation-first platform for engineering new large language models from existing compatible open-weight models. The primary loop is deterministic and auditable: analyze compatibility, execute tensor-level merges, evaluate candidates against isolated benchmark splits, compute fitness, and evolve the population. Fine-tuning and RAG are optional supporting layers, not the core.

<Note>
  This site is the specification. Implementation has not started. Every page describes intended behavior with explicit evidence tags: Established / Hypothesis / Assumption / Result / Goal / Unsupported.
