AI is becoming more powerful every day.
Humanity should remain in control.

We’re an independent group who still believes in that mission. And we’re building the first practical solution where AI produces the intended output and the human stays responsible.

An original paper diorama, seen over the shoulder of an anonymous seated man: his hands rest on a plain wood table beside a face-down page and a blank access card, and beyond a low opaque partition a faceless figure of smooth slate card stands turned toward the edge of the frame. The seamless slate figure is the story's symbol for Ava, a machine the evaluator cannot see inside.

Ex Machina sent a programmer to test a machine.

He was the test. You can grade today's AI and come away more certain, not more right.

An original paper diorama: an anonymous graphite hand under a warm amber lamp holds a small plain gray block on a bare table, while the faintly glowing pale wall above still carries one line of unreadable marks; at the far left a small gray paper strip with the same marks, dimmer, enters the frame. The glowing wall is a symbolic stand-in for the ship's computer. The hand is a generic, low-detail hand with no likeness of any performer.

2001 made the computer its monster.

The ship told the crew which of its own parts would fail. Today the system doing the work writes the report on it.

An original paper diorama shows an anonymous man facing a translucent coral woman in a warm room. The woman is a symbolic embodiment of Samantha, who has no body in the film.

An original paper diorama: seen from behind at seated eye level, an anonymous figure of matte sand-colored card sits in a deep plain seat at the center of a cool, symmetrical paper bridge, hands on the one narrow cyan-lit band of a dark console, beside a narrow status column repeating the same unreadable mark down its length; a soft wall of pale light fills the room ahead, an unlit metal column stands to the right, and a small metal cup with a green shoot sits on the floor. The cyan light is the symbolic mark of the ship's machines; the figure is a generic, low-detail figure with no facial features and no likeness of any performer.

WALL-E showed machines taking over.

The captain never learned the job the ship already did. A job a machine does well is a job fewer people learn to do.

An original paper diorama of a small apartment seen from its open front door in morning light. An anonymous young woman in matte cotton stands half-turned in the doorway with keys and a folded jacket, her head turned away so no face shows. Behind her a wall telephone rests on its hook, and a further doorway shows the corner of an unmade second bed. Nothing in the frame is glossy or red, the two materials this set keeps for the machine.

The Terminator taught us to fear an angry machine.

The film never shows it angry. In today's shutdown tests, everything that changed whether a machine stopped was set before it started.

An original paper still life seen from above. A hand holds a pen over a sheet of bone paper where a shallow field of cold gray water is built from torn paper strata. A single closed circle of thin brass wire is pressed into the paper: one small anonymous figure stands inside it, seen from behind, and a smaller figure stands outside it with no line of its own. No machine appears in the picture, because what answered in this scene was a rule, and the rule is what the art draws. The figures are generic and low detail, with no facial features and no likeness of any performer.

I, Robot taught a generation to fear disobedient machines.

Its hero shouted at a robot to take the drowning girl. It saved him. Today's AI is trained on rules that cannot cover every case.

An original paper diorama of two rooms under one surface. At the lower left an anonymous charcoal hand rests on a plain slab at a small lamplit desk beside a blank sheet, with the first row of small pale translucent pieces forming on the wall. At the lower right, across a torn paper edge, small featureless figures sit at a low table in an olive and slate room under an ordered field of the same pieces. Above both rooms the pieces thicken into one glowing plane. The translucent lattice is a symbolic stand-in for the film's war-game computer, which this art never shows as a cabinet, a screen, or a voice. The figures are generic, low-detail figures with no facial features and no likeness of any performer.

Our mission

Superintelligence for everyone

AI governance is crucial, and should be proven in practice. Not after discovering the limits.

We are building the first practical solution to superalignment: a way to make powerful systems steerable to the people who live with the results.

GPT-6 Astra scored 99.9 on a test built to resist memorized skill

ARC-AGI-3 is a set of simple games with hidden rules. With one setup, Astra beat nearly every game about as efficiently as first-time human players. With the plain setup it scored 62.7%. The previous OpenAI model scored 7.8% in July.

Convergence Programming

Iterative, World-Grounded Alignment of Lossy Human Intent with Executable Behavior

Language models turn lossy human intent straight into executable behavior. A non-programmer can generate an artifact they cannot inspect; an agent can act through tools whose side effects the conversation never reveals. A system can then pass every visible check and still be wrong. We call that false convergence, and the program exists to find it before the system acts.

Trajectory, not artifact Generation produces an artifact. Convergence produces a system. The unit of programming stops being the file and becomes the whole trajectory.
Readiness is information-limited A system cannot certify a distinction its trajectory never extracted from the world. Tests, judges, approvals and monitors each help; none supplies it alone.
Calibrated permission to act Discover the hidden constraints, bind every readiness claim to independent evidence, and act only inside the envelope that evidence covers.

The paper is being prepared for release. It is a conceptual and evaluation-design contribution with a preliminary pilot, not a benchmark or a leaderboard.
