Sparse. Event-first.
Energy-bounded. Local.
An AI research and applied technology company building learning systems that fire only when they should, represent the world as events, treat energy as a design constraint, and run close to the people who use them. Three frontiers: model architecture, applied AI for businesses, and personalised AI for everyday life.
Three frontiers
Where we focus, and what we leave alone.
We are deliberately narrow. Each frontier has a thesis, a constraint, and a pile of things we’ve ruled out.
Featured projects
Three things the studio is shipping right now.
Picked from the active project list. Each is dated, tagged, and tied to a frontier — and each ships with a public eval and a post-mortem path.
Desktop app
pre-releaseMemex
Native desktop knowledge base for macOS and Windows. Markdown wikis, AI summarisation, spaced repetition, voice dictation, Kanban, and git-backed history. Local by default.
Research
stage 1 / 4Aurora
A neuroscience-inspired AI architecture: sparse predictive microfields, thalamic routing, four-tier memory, and offline consolidation — energy-bounded by design.

When the sparse activation gate failed silently for 11 hours
A canary release of Aurora's stage-1 microfields had its sparse-firing threshold mis-applied. The gate accepted every input. Quality looked fine in dashboards. Energy use tripled overnight before anyone noticed.
We publish the timeline, the bug, the alert that should have caught it, and the four checks we now run before any sparse-firing change ships. The post-mortem is the artefact; the patch is incidental.
