With Cognitive Intelligence, we are forging a new Foundational Technology

The path to scaling powerful AI is no longer determined by the size of its models (and the immense resources required to train them), but by the power of cognitive architectures within intelligent systems.

We see ourselves as the thought leaders and pioneers of cognitive architectures, creating our own foundational IP to walk this path independently—that is, without any third-party dependencies—and to help shape its future. In this, we see regulation not as an obstacle, but as a catalyst.

Basis-Components for Cognitive Intelligence:
Our Foundation for Powerful, Controllable AI

We possess all the skills and foundational technologies to develop Cognitive Intelligence without any third-party dependencies. Our Cognitive Control Unit forms the structural backbone to transform the raw thoughts of language models into powerful and controllable AI systems. While we generally prefer to work with standard models, we can, when necessary, generate our own refined training data with SynthIOS and apply it to open-weight foundation models using LoRA Finetuning.

Aside from creating our own foundation models (an endeavor for which we see no strategic necessity, given the availability of sufficiently powerful open-weight models with permissive licenses), we thus possess all the essential capabilities and tools to independently advance Cognitive Intelligence as the global scaling path for Powerful AI.

Cognitive Intelligence as a System

Cognitive Control Unit: The Thinking Center

To make thinking and action-oriented AI strategically controllable, we have reimagined it’s fundamental architecture—not in models, but in systems. We achieve this by placing our proprietary Cognitive Control Unit alongside language models as a “thinking center” that deconstructs, analyzes, and verifies the model’s hypotheses. The result is logically traceable and well-reasoned thought paths.

Long-& Short-Term Memory

Cognitive Memory

Cognitive Memory is the dynamic working memory of our Thinking / Conclusion Machines, storing all cognitive artifacts and making them available to the Cognitive Control Unit. It is divided into long-term and short-term memory, which actively manages the processing context in order to generate and validate the corresponding artifacts. This control enables targeted and structured reasoning and inference.

Low-Profile LLM Inference

Cognitive Intelligence for every environment

True sovereignty means being able to use powerful AI wherever it is needed—even on resource-efficient low-end hardware. We are researching methods to run sophisticated AI models with high efficiency in such “low-profile” environments. This not only maximizes your independence but also enables entirely new use cases directly at the point of action.

Cognitive Reasoning as a System

Stand-alone Reasoning Engine

To make thinking and action-oriented AI strategically controllable, we have reimagined its fundamental architecture—not in models, but in systems. We achieve this by placing our proprietary Cognitive Control Unit alongside language models as a “thinking center” that deconstructs, analyzes, and verifies the model’s hypotheses. The result is logically traceable and well-reasoned thought paths.

Synthetic Training Data

SynthIOS: High-Quality Training Data

The quality of training data has a decisive influence on the behavior of AI systems. Instead of relying on external sources, we generate our own high-quality training data with our open-source pipeline, SynthIOS. This ensures that the underlying models operate on the best and most relevant knowledge base possible and are free from unwanted biases. We are continuously advancing our data pipelines.

LLM Finetuning

Efficient Finetuning with LoRA

A controllable architecture deserves precise language. To ensure our systems not only reason logically but also communicate excellently in your specific domain, we adapt open-weight language models using LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation). This efficient method allows us to specifically refine the linguistic capabilities of our systems—faster, more resource-efficient, and precisely tailored to your domain and needs.

We are researching methods to run sophisticated AI models with high efficiency in such “low-profile” environments. This not only maximizes your independence but also enables entirely new use cases directly at the point of action.

These three pillars—a revolutionary architecture, sovereign data generation, and the capability for precise and efficient finetuning—are more than just a collection of individual components: they merge into a seamless value chain for the future scaling of AI. Full access to these strategic tools puts us in a position to independently build AI systems that are not only powerful but also transparent, secure, and tailored to your needs from the ground up—without any technological dependencies on third parties. In geopolitically turbulent times, this is a critical aspect of sovereignty.

Our Research Focus:
The Next Generation of High-Performance AI Systems

To further advance our mission, we are focused on optimizing the central levers of our technology. In doing so, we are pushing the boundaries of what is possible, without ever losing sight of security and reliability. At our subsidiary ACSL, we conduct fundamental research to evolve today’s model-centered AI architectures into architecturally grounded “thinking machines.” This effort is based on our innovative Leibniz-von Neumann architecture—a specific design for composite system structures that leverages the strengths of language model technology while overcoming its structural limitations with respect to safety, reliability, and human control.

Advancing Cognitive Architectures

The performance of cognitive intelligence is determined, among other factors, by the quality of the underlying cognitive schemata. The goal of ACSL is to continuously improve these schemata and make them applicable even to the most complex reasoning paths. We conduct experimental research on how to achieve this increase in intelligence while maintaining safety and control as a consistent guiding principle. The results are published openly and prepared for practical application in business.

LLM Finetuning & Scale-Ups

Fine-tuning with context scaling

A controllable architecture deserves precise language. To ensure that our systems communicate not only with logical correctness but also with excellence in their specific domain, we adapt open-weight language models using LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation). In addition, we are researching innovative methods to significantly extend the context window (by a factor of x2, x4, or even x8). In doing so, we are deliberately enhancing the capabilities of EU AI Act–compliant open-source models, making them suitable and adaptable for business applications.

This is how we ensure that our technology is not only leading today but will also set the standards for trustworthy artificial intelligence tomorrow.
