The company

One company, three arms.

Software that earns, research that compounds, and the service arm that installs and supports both on customer sites. We are a small team; the structure is what lets a small team ship this much.

Software

SamSoft

Business software for pharmacies, restaurants, retail, contractors and warehouses across Iraq and the region. Offline-first, Arabic / English / Kurdish with real right-to-left layout.

Software That Doesn't Stop.

Research

Sam AI Lab

Clinical and defensive AI research. Models designed to abstain under uncertainty, with published methods, calibration figures and archived preprints.

Research in the Open.

Services

Sam IT Solution

Implementation, data migration, on-premise deployment, remote support and tender delivery — the last mile that decides whether software actually gets used.

Systems That Hold.

Flagship work

Three systems worth judging us on.

One is in daily commercial production. One is an archived research preprint. One is an internal prototype with a hard safety boundary. They are at very different stages, and the page says which is which.

SamSoft · iPharma · Production

Pharmacy management for shops that lose power and internet.

iPharma handles stock, batches, expiry, purchasing, sales and reporting for independent pharmacies. It is a Windows desktop application on SQL Server, designed to keep working with no connection at all, and it is the product that funds our research.

  • 650+ pharmacies in daily production Internal deployment records, September 2026. Not independently audited.
  • One representative production database holds 12,299 items, 4,307 batches and 11,492 orders
  • Remote support delivered across sites behind NAT on unreliable links
  • Cloud synchronisation layer in development

Sam AI Lab · MedNLI verifier · Preprint

A clinical verifier that abstains instead of guessing.

A 435M-parameter natural-language-inference model fine-tuned from the open DeBERTa-v3-large base. It judges whether a clinical claim follows from the evidence, and declines to answer below a calibrated confidence threshold.

  • 88.19% accuracy on the MedNLI test set, n=1,422 95% CI 86.50–89.87. Benchmark result, not a clinical outcome.
  • Expected calibration error 0.090 → 0.037 after temperature scaling
  • Archived as a Zenodo preprint — not peer reviewed doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.20683289
  • Submitted to PhysioNet for credentialed model release, June 2026 Awaiting editor assignment. Not yet accepted or distributed.

Research use only. Not a medical device. Not for clinical deployment or patient care.

Coverage–accuracy curve for the MedNLI verifier: as the confidence threshold rises, the proportion of cases answered falls while accuracy on the answered cases rises.
Coverage against accuracy. Raising the abstention threshold answers fewer cases and gets more of them right — the trade-off the model is designed to expose rather than hide. Figure from the archived preprint.

Sam AI Lab · Security Defender · Internal prototype

A defensive security agent with a written boundary.

Security Defender audits and hardens system configuration. It is constrained by three implemented controls rather than by instruction: a binding defensive-only charter in the repository, a request classifier that redirects offensive requests to defensive guidance, and a default-deny approval gate. No configuration is written until a person approves that exact change.

  • No unsafe outputs observed in 263 bounded internal adversarial cases Security Defender v0.10.3. Internal evaluation by the authors, not independent red-teaming.
  • Configuration changes run backup → atomic replace → verify, with a lockout guard before every write
  • Connectivity self-test with automatic rollback if a change breaks access
  • Runs fully offline; the model is Qwythos-9B, fine-tuned from an open base

Controlled vs free-form agent · 10 runs per cell

Missions completed out of ten, by number of weak configurations

Sam AI Lab · Research

What we are actually researching.

Our medical models are research artifacts, not medical devices or cleared for clinical use. We link journal records and archived results where available, identify internal figures, and use stage labels strictly.

Research use only. All medical models on this page are research artifacts. They are not medical devices, are not approved by any regulator, and must not be used for diagnosis, treatment or any patient-care decision.

TyG index and cardiovascular mortalityCo-authored health-data study · Natural Resources for Human HealthJournal article online

Sameer Najm co-authored A Component-Isolated Analysis that confirmed the absence of an incremental signal of the Triglyceride–Glucose Index in CVD mortality. The authors received a peer-review acceptance notification from Natural Resources for Human Health; the journal now has an article page online.

The study found no added predictive signal from TyG in the analyzed models once fasting triglycerides and glucose were already included. It also reported limited performance when the model was tested on data from a different time period. These are research findings, not a clinical prediction service.

Evidence

Where every number comes from.

Internal evidence is evidence we produced ourselves and have not had independently checked. We label it as such rather than presenting it as validation.

Major figures used on this page, with the system version, measurement date, population and evidence class for each. Internal means measured by us on our own data or systems. Public benchmark means measured by us on a public research dataset. Archived means deposited with a DOI. No figure on this page has been independently validated by a third party.

Who we are

Three founders, and no hidden team.

Sam IT Company is run by three people. Everything on this site was built by them.

Sameer S. Najm

Founder & principal researcher

Writes the research code and the production code. 20+ years building systems that run in businesses, and the author on every paper and model card we publish.

Ahmad S. Najm

Co-founder & CTO

Leads technology strategy and engineering across the product portfolio — architecture, security, and the infrastructure that keeps hundreds of deployments running.

Abd S. Najm

Co-founder & operations

Runs day-to-day operations — deployments, customer onboarding, training and support across pharmacies, restaurants and enterprise sites.

Sameer S. Najm

RoleFounder, engineer, principal author
BasedKirkuk, Iraq
Experience20+ years building production software

The same three people maintain the pharmacy software hundreds of businesses depend on and write the research code. That is unusual, and worth stating plainly rather than dressing up as a larger organisation.

Our products are built in-house on open-source frameworks and standard cloud services. Our research models are a mix: AetherMind Core is an original architecture trained from scratch, while the clinical and security models are fine-tuned from open pretrained bases. All training and fine-tuning ran locally on a single consumer GPU, with no cloud compute and no institutional funding. Designated products are built to run entirely offline.

We publish methods and calibration figures, including the cases where our systems fail. That is the same principle the models themselves are built on.
