Research

Papers, formal models and open problems, including the ones we haven't solved.

  • Research

    The smallest machine that completes the job wins

    The complete token-per-watt research note on Apple M6, M5 Pro, M5 Max, and M5 Ultra for private agentic AI: the roofline, pre-ship decode estimates marked as estimates, best bang for the buck, and the PuppyBench protocol.

  • Research

    The Grand Architecture of Sovereign Computing

    Hardware-enclaved agents, supercomputer bursting, and the hu_ssh protocol. Send the part that is only maths. Keep the part that is only yours.

  • Research

    Give the schematics away: an open letter to the engineers

    Four things we cannot build without Apple and Google, written as specific asks — plus the four problems in our own specification we have not solved.

  • Research

    Bridging Silicon and Supercomputers: the hu_ssh protocol

    Zero-copy tensor memory transport from Apple Silicon edge nodes to NVIDIA cluster supercomputers.

  • Research

    The Quiet Machine: the human is in the middle of the circle

    A long-form essay on hu_ssh, Apple Silicon unified memory, and the tradition of handing people their own computer.

  • Research

    Cold Start Is a First-Class Constraint

    An experience paper on a total production outage: a read-only index that outgrew the memory available at process start, built at module load, transitively imported by unrelated routes — so a directory change took the whole site dark. Why warm tests, successful builds, and a staging deploy all failed to catch it; four design principles for serving large read-mostly indices on autoscaled runtimes; and the deploy gate whose absence was the actual defect.

  • Research

    Consent as an Operational Semantics

    A formal model for scoped, revocable, auditable data access. Consent expressed as a small-step transition system over grants, requests, and receipts — with five properties (no access without a live grant, receipt completeness, revocation totality, non-escalation, purpose binding) and an unusually long section on what the model provably does not prevent: inference, aggregation across grants, cross-boundary re-sharing, and the fact that revocation cannot un-know.

  • Research

    Counting Without Watching

    A research paper on an open problem we have not solved: how to measure whether eight billion personal agents are genuinely useful, every day, without the behavioral telemetry our own architecture forbids. Formal problem statement, threat model where the operator is the adversary, a construction combining edge-local sketches, receipt-anchored derivation, calibrated noise and secure aggregation — and an honest account of what remains unsolved.

  • Research

    Entity Resolution Under a Right to Removal

    Building a directory of 248,568 organizations and 616,145 named professionals across 52 U.S. metros, where every subject can demand deletion. Why removability is a design constraint on the resolution architecture and not a compliance feature — deliberate under-merging, claim-time verification against the authoritative regulator, collapsing 737 taxonomy codes into 27 human terms, and proximity as the primary key.

  • Research

    The Human, Understood

    A deep-research story on how people actually spend their days, why everyone is becoming a builder, and how 🤫 Agent One serves the human - 24/7/365, with the human always in control of their circle, information, knowledge, and creations.
