Research directions

The model stack is anchored in a few specific research lines, not a vague idea of "AGI". This page tracks those lines and how they shape the developer API.

Neuro-inspired plasticity in large models

draft

Exploring ways to let models change slowly over time while preserving core capabilities, inspired by biological learning and consolidation.

Primary focus: long-term memory, stability vs. adaptation.

Emotional signals without role-play

draft

Designing Velin to output simple, honest signals about user state and conversational risk instead of pretending the system has feelings.

Primary focus: user wellbeing, safety, attachment.

Sparse adaptation with MG-SGLoRA

draft

Using sparse adapters and structured updates so that tenants can adjust behaviour for their domain without training a new base model.

Primary focus: multi-tenant safety, infra, reproducibility.

How this shows up in the API

The research is not separate from the product. If a research idea can't be expressed as a clear observable or control in the API, it isn't ready. When we design endpoints, we start with:

  • • What state is the model tracking internally?
  • • Which parts of that state should a developer see?
  • • Which dials can be safely exposed and which must stay internal?
