Research

Small, checkable AI on hardware you control.

Useful AI that runs on hardware you control, with limits you can enforce and results you can check. Aitium builds small specialized models, the engine that serves them on one or two 24GB GPUs, and the runtime that keeps AI agents inside the boundaries their operators set. We publish what we measure, including what fails.

Research areas

The questions we are working on

Small specialized models

In evaluation

Can a small model, sized for one local GPU, do a narrow expert task well enough to trust?

CyberGuard targets security triage and threat analysis, measured on precision, recall and false-positive rate before any release.

See the work

Pharmacogenomics

Research

Can matching DNA variants to medicine compatibility become a model query without losing expert-level accuracy?

Cogenics validates variant-to-drug associations before any model is trained, using CPIC prescribing guidelines as the evaluation axis and ClinVar as the reference dataset.

Local serving

Live

How capable a model can run privately on one or two 24GB consumer GPUs without silently degrading precision?

Ember is a registry-driven gateway and GPU worker, live on Aitium hardware and serving an OpenAI-compatible API.

Governed agents

In development

How do you give an AI agent real autonomy while keeping its reach, spend and actions enforceably bounded?

Foxtail Harness puts a tool registry, delegation scopes, atomic budgets, review gates and an audit trail between agents and production systems.

Roadmap

What comes next

  1. Live nowEmber inference engine serving on Aitium hardware.
  2. Q4 2026CyberGuard evaluation results published.
  3. Q4 2026Foxtail Harness early access.
  4. Q1 2027Cogenics validation complete; training decision.

Funding focus

What support makes possible

Outside funding goes to three things, each tied to a public result on our roadmap.

Compute for evaluation and training

GPU time to train CyberGuard and run it against Cybench, CyberSecEval and the AWS Deception Benchmark.

Result Full evaluation results published, misses included.

Q4 2026

Expert validation for Cogenics

Blinded review by pharmacogenomics specialists, checking variant-to-drug associations against CPIC guidelines before any model is trained.

Result Validation published, with a go/no-go training decision.

Q1 2027

Taking Foxtail Harness to early access

Engineering time to harden the governed agent runtime — registry, budgets, review gates and audit trail — for outside teams.

Result Early access for external teams.

Q4 2026
