Diamond Projects, LLC is a Delaware-based AI and software studio. It operates as a platform that incubates products in two areas: (1) local, private artificial-intelligence models that run on a client's own hardware — its flagship product is Moonshineshot, powered by the Diamond distillation pipeline; and (2) custom enterprise software modules known collectively as the Celupal Suite, including FleetManage (fleet management), AdminAssist (administrative workflow), Celupal Commerce OS (B2B commerce), ShieldZ (security operations), and ERP connectors for Sage 300 and VisionPoint 2000. Diamond Projects builds privacy-first technology with no cloud dependency, no data leaving the building, and no per-token fees. It is founded by Joshua D. Thomas and backed by Celupal Group.

The Studio

A platform company that builds — and keeps building.

Diamond Projects isn't a single product. It's a studio that incubates privacy-first technology: distilled AI models you can own, and the custom software modules that put that intelligence to work inside real businesses. Moonshineshot is our flagship. It is not the whole story.

Local AI Models

We merge and distill the world's best open-weight models into compact, domain-specific engines that run entirely on your hardware — no internet required after deployment.

  • Moonshineshot — our flagship distilled reasoning model
  • Diamond Pipeline — DARE-TIES merges, benchmarks, RAG
  • ChromaDB knowledge base with separated architecture
  • Runs on Apple Silicon, NVIDIA, or x86 servers

  • Celupal Commerce OS — AI-native B2B commerce
  • FleetManage · AdminAssist · ShieldZ
  • ERP connectors: Sage 300, VisionPoint 2000
  • Built to deploy privately, owned by you

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Diamond Projects is a software and AI studio. We build two things: custom-distilled local AI models (our flagship is Moonshineshot) and custom enterprise software modules (the Celupal Suite). Everything is designed to run on the client's own hardware for privacy, control, and predictable cost.
No. Diamond Projects operates as a platform studio that incubates multiple products. Moonshineshot is one project. We also build software modules such as fleet management, commerce, administrative workflow, security operations, and ERP integrations under the Celupal Suite.
Local AI runs entirely on a company's own servers or hardware instead of a third-party cloud. No proprietary data leaves the building, there are no per-token fees, and the model is customized to the company's industry and data.
Cloud AI tools send your data to external servers and charge per token. Diamond Projects builds you a private model you own, deployed on your hardware, trained on your data, with fixed pricing and full compliance with data-sovereignty rules like HIPAA, GDPR, and LGPD.
Diamond Projects is founded by Joshua D. Thomas and backed by Celupal Group, a $29M cross-border enterprise with 20+ years of operations across the Americas. The team pairs operator experience with applied machine-learning engineering.
