Roadmap · Gen 1 continues

Three builds shipped.
The generation isn't finished.

The architecture is dynamic and evolutionary by nature, so it will never be "complete". Gen 1 has produced three working builds and its first product. Its research tracks are still running.

Where we are.

Filled nodes are complete, the pulsing node is now, dashed nodes are ahead. Scroll sideways on small screens.

02 — Gen 1 builds

Complete, and still the beginning.

Each build reaches into a model to a different depth. All three are working; none of them closes the generation.

L1
Shipped

Synthesises emotion and triggers processes from emotion weights: tool calling, hidden-context injection, module activation. The simplest layer and the foundation of the rest.

L2
Shipped

The comprehensive main system for open models. Reads weights during inference, computes neurochemistry from them and steers the model's geometric latent space.

M1L1.5
Shipped · mobile

A simplified build made to run locally on a phone. Many features were removed; others were rebuilt with small on-device models. The leanest member of the family, and the one inside Generation Network.

GEN 1 CONTINUING

Gen 1 is continuing.

Development of the first generation goes on: the research tracks below run inside Gen 1, and M1 keeps improving in the field. Gen 2 is planned, and we are seeking resources for it.

03 — Research tracks

The seven phases, today.

Details of each phase are on the architecture page.

PHASE 01

Neurochemical emotional reasoning

Thirteen-channel engine, now Limbic-2.

Completed
PHASE 03

Latent space injection

Capacity without parameter scaling.

Completed
PHASE 04

Activation-based reasoning

Reasoning from the model's own activations.

Largely complete
PHASE 02

Dynamic adapters

Internal learning with a frozen backbone.

In research
PHASE 05

Manifold geometry & IRE

Engineered implicit relations on a curved meaning surface.

In development
PHASE 06

Default-mode dynamics

Controlled free association; an on-device version already runs in M1.

In development
PHASE 07

Cultural resonance

Meaning through cultural lenses; a first glimpse ships as the Time Machine.

04 — Notes

Along the way.

Limbic v1

Retired, kept for the record.

The first emotional model was discontinued and archived. Primitive next to Limbic-2, it remains part of the system's evolutionary history.

Demo server

Closed to manage cost.

The public demo server was shut down in November 2025. The cortex now runs publicly through Generation Network.

Benchmarks

Ongoing.

Internal comparisons between connected and raw models show clear differences in creativity and concept linking. Formal benchmarking continues; results depend on model and usage.
