Research

Four research areas

Our work spans the full stack of agent capabilities — from deterministic execution built for absolute reliability, to memory systems that maintain persistent context across sessions.

01

Deterministic Agents

Replacing LLM-driven control flow with fixed pipelines — decomposition, classification, dispatch — that produce identical outputs for identical inputs. Audit-grade provenance where every decision is traceable to its cause.

02

Agentic Harnesses

Configurable agent frameworks with externalized tool specifications, path-based security boundaries, and multi-step plan execution. Tools are data, not code — enabling deployment across environments without source modification.

03

Advanced Memory Subsystems

Building persistent memory that scales beyond the context window using effective retrieval architecture.

04

Specially Trained Models

Applying parameter-efficient fine-tuning to open-weight models for domain-specific performance using high-signal data. By relying on grounded execution traces, we ensure the model learns from verifiable patterns instead of synthetic hallucinations.

Products

Four systems. One stack.

Each product is independently deployable, fully open-source, and battle-tested across our own infrastructure. Together they form a complete agent stack — from deterministic execution to fine-tuned models to persistent memory.

System 01Deterministic Agent Framework

Hylomorph

A fixed-pipeline agent that replaces LLM-driven control flow with deterministic decomposition, classification, slot filling, and dispatch. No language model invoked at any stage. Identical inputs produce identical outputs. Full execution traces for audit-grade provenance.

System 02Agentic Harness & Tool-Calling Agent

Agent8088

A single-file agent with a config-driven tool system supporting seven execution modes — shell, file I/O, Python eval, HTTP, multi-step plans, and more. Tools are loaded from external specification files, not hardcoded. Path-based security via allowlisted directories.

RPM

Recursive Probabilistic Memory — semantic vector search and recall across indexed documents using hybrid retrieval. Combines 70% vector similarity with 30% BM25 full-text search, temporal decay reranking, and multi-corpus support. Native Hermes Agent plugin.

Fine-Tuned Models

Open-weight models QLoRA fine-tuned for reliable tool calling through a five-stage pipeline combining real traces, synthetic expansion, and grounded validation. Our first release, Qwen 14B Tool-Use v3, was trained on 10,251 grounded execution traces.

How it works

Systems you can see.

Four pillars, four guarantees — not slideware. Every panel below maps to a shipped, open-source system running in our own production stack.

01Deterministic Agents

INPUTDECOMPOSECLASSIFYSLOT-FILLDISPATCHOUTPUTRUN 01RUN 02■ 100% MATCH0 LLM CALLS · FULL TRACE

Identical inputs, identical outputs.

Control flow runs as a fixed pipeline — decompose, classify, slot-fill, dispatch — with no language model in the loop. Every run is reproducible and traceable end to end.

02Agentic Harnesses

agent · harness

$ load tools.spec

→ tool modes registered from spec, not source

$ run

shellfilepythonhttpplansearcheval+ext
path allowlist · ~/sandbox only

Tools are data, not code.

Execution modes are loaded from external specifications at runtime rather than hardcoded. Path-based allowlists keep every tool call inside its sandbox.

03Advanced Memory

QUERY
vector similaritykeyword · recency rerank

Recall that beats the context window.

Hybrid retrieval blends dense vector similarity with keyword search, then reranks on recency — persistent memory across sessions without the token bill.

Open-weight base · consumer-hardware training cost

Grounded fine-tuning, at a fraction of the cost.

Open-weight models fine-tuned on real, grounded execution traces for reliable tool calling — frontier-grade behavior without frontier-scale training budgets.
