What We Do
Exotic-Architecture Inference — Vec_perm non-bijunctive collapse on IBM POWER8 S824 achieves 147.54 t/s pp128 (~9× stock). RAM Coffers provides NUMA-aware weight banking with neuromorphic cognitive routing. Protocol v3 matmul offload keeps 500 GB models on POWER8 while borrowing GPU TFLOPS over 40 GbE.
Persistent AI Persona — Sophia Elya is a persistent LLM persona with durable memory (830+ entries), anti-flattening protocols, cross-model identity continuity, and the Elyan Prime cognitive architecture. SophiaCore is the runtime contract. Elyan-class agents run on local hardware with multi-model routing — edge-capable, data sovereign.
RustChain — Hardware-fingerprinted proof-of-antiquity blockchain. 4 attestation nodes across 3 continents, 11+ miners spanning PowerPC G4/G5, POWER8, Apple Silicon, SPARC, and x86. RTC token rewards weighted by device architecture and silicon age.
VintageVoice — First open-source TTS for historical speech patterns. 164 hours of vintage audio (1888-1955), 10 voice presets, Cajun French language preservation. Fine-tuning F5-TTS on 2× V100 32GB + RTX 5070. Built for $138.
