Disciplines

Design it. Prove it. Ship it.

We design AI you can own — frontier-level models on hardware you control, no per-token bill, no data egress. Every claim is checked by a separate judge model, not by us. Then we ship it into regulated, money-on-the-line reality. Here are the disciplines behind that, rare ones first.


01

Model Fine-Tuning & Customization

Frontier parity on your domain, on weights you own.

Off-the-shelf models are generalists. We take open weights and specialize them — distillation plus LoRA/QLoRA — until they match the frontier on the exact workflows your business runs on, with none of the per-token bill. Proof: a local OLMo-3.1-32B with LoRA reached parity with Claude Opus 4.8 on the hardest in-domain workflows, trained on 312 validator-clean examples curated by best-of-N distillation.

Capabilities

LoRA / QLoRA fine-tuning on open weights
Best-of-N distillation from a frontier teacher
Validator-clean dataset curation & filtering
Domain adaptation for regulated workflows
Parity benchmarking against frontier models
Reproducible training on customer-owned hardware

02

Evaluation & Observability

Trust nothing unmeasured.

Vibes are not a metric and self-grading is not a test. We stand up independent judge panels, model scorecards, and hallucination detection so every claim about quality is checked by something other than the team that shipped it. Proof: we cut a frontier model’s cost ~52% and latency ~74% while maintaining quality — gated by a separate judge model, not by opinion.

Capabilities

Independent multi-judge evaluation panels
Model scorecards & regression tracking
Hallucination & faithfulness detection
DeepEval / Inspect / pydantic-evals harnesses
Cost/quality trade-off analysis with a held bar
Continuous eval gates in CI before ship

03

AI Safety & Alignment

Never validate a delusion.

Money-on-the-line and human-on-the-line systems need adversarial testing before they meet a user, not after. We build safety harnesses, crisis-routing logic, and red-team suites that judge the agent on its verbatim words. Proof: a voice-safety harness routed 4 of 4 crisis categories to a human, scored against exactly what the agent said, not what we hoped it meant.

Capabilities

Adversarial safety & red-team harnesses
Crisis detection & human-handoff routing
Verbatim-transcript scoring of agent behavior
Refusal & jailbreak resistance testing
Pre-ship safety gates on real conversations
Guardrails tuned to never validate harmful intent

04

Sovereign / Private AI

The full agent loop on a box you control.

Reasoning, tool-calling over MCP, memory, RAG, even voice — the entire loop running on open models on hardware the customer owns. No data egress, no per-token meter, a cost you can predict. Proof: a self-hosted ~32B model at frontier level, parked for about $16/month, with zero data leaving the box.

Capabilities

Open-weight inference on customer-owned hardware
MLX / vLLM / llama.cpp serving stacks
Full agent loop: reasoning, tools, memory, RAG
MCP tool-calling with no external egress
Fixed, predictable cost instead of per-token bills
On-prem and air-gapped deployment

05

AI Governance & Compliance

Auditability the regulator will accept.

In regulated domains the output has to be traceable, scoped, and defensible — not just plausible. We build citation traceability, document mapping, deterministic validators, and human-in-the-loop where the regulator requires it. Proof: biologics CMC proposal authoring across CTD Module 3, with deterministic validators as a hard quality gate on every claim.

Capabilities

Citation traceability & source-of-truth linking
CTD / CMC document structure mapping
Deterministic validators as hard quality gates
Scope discipline & out-of-bounds refusal
Human-in-the-loop where regulation demands it
Audit trails for regulated authoring workflows

06

Conversational & Voice AI

Real conversations that move real money.

Voice agents that authenticate a caller, take a card payment, work a fraud case, and switch languages mid-call without dropping context. Proof: Aura/Auralis handles live payment calls end to end, built on Pipecat, LiveKit, Deepgram, and ElevenLabs, with self-hosted XTTS v2 when the voice has to stay on-prem.

Capabilities

Caller authentication & in-call card payments
Fraud handling and case workflows
Mid-call language switching
Pipecat + LiveKit real-time voice pipelines
Deepgram STT & ElevenLabs TTS
Self-hosted XTTS v2 for private voice

07

RAG & Document Intelligence

Retrieval that reads the page, not just the text.

Documents are layout, tables, and stamps — not a flat wall of text. We build late-interaction visual retrieval that understands the page as it looks, plus structured extraction that turns messy files into clean data. Proof: Harvestor does visual retrieval over layout, tables, and stamps with ColQwen2.5 and LanceDB, and extracts structure from resumes and invoices.

Capabilities

Late-interaction visual retrieval (ColQwen2.5)
Layout, table & stamp-aware document parsing
LanceDB vector indexing & search
Structured extraction of resumes & invoices
Grounded, citation-linked answers
RAG evaluation for retrieval & generation quality

08

Agentic / Multi-Agent Systems

Plan, act, remember, hand off.

Agents that decompose a goal, call the right tools, keep memory across steps, and hand off cleanly between specialists. Proof: Nexus and an on-chain A2A marketplace coordinate multi-agent plan / tool-call / memory / handoff flows, built on PydanticAI, LangGraph, Google ADK, and MCP.

Capabilities

Planning & goal decomposition
Tool-calling and function orchestration
Cross-step memory & state management
Multi-agent handoff and coordination
PydanticAI / LangGraph / Google ADK / MCP
On-chain agent-to-agent (A2A) marketplace

09

Generative Media

Renders that match a real SKU.

Generative imagery is easy to make and hard to make accurate. We build media pipelines that stay faithful to a real product, not a hallucinated one. Proof: Agam produces catalogue-accurate renders that match an actual SKU, built on gpt-image-2 and FLUX.

Capabilities

Catalogue-accurate product rendering
SKU-faithful image generation
gpt-image-2 & FLUX pipelines
Brand- and style-consistent output
Prompt & reference-conditioned generation
Quality checks against source product data
