Research

Open questions we are working on.

Our research agenda is deliberately small. Each thread below is a long-running commitment — pursued in the open when possible, and grounded in the products we ship.

Verification pipelines

Verification gates that stand between execution and durable memory, so only trusted results shape what K1 learns.

Local AI

Model architectures, quantization and routing strategies optimized for private, on-device inference under a Model Router.

Mission planning

Planners that decompose missions into task graphs, allocate capabilities, and adapt under failure — with humans holding strategic authority.

Infrastructure management

Declarative infrastructure state, drift detection and reconciliation, validated rollouts, and operational resilience across heterogeneous hardware.

Human–AI collaboration

Interfaces that preserve judgement, support disagreement, and make mission plans, evidence and outcomes legible.

Semantic knowledge systems

libheptapod and related work on semantic memory, dependency graphs, and cognitive representation for long-horizon reasoning.

Future publications

Notes and papers, in preparation.
