~10× Smaller Weights
Theoretical ~10× smaller weights (1.58-bit vs 16-bit), the basis for the target of fitting 1B-class models inside consumer device RAM.
Ilaria is the native AI model and distributed cognitive system for SwypikOS. It is one model family, IMC, designed to be trained from scratch, and it is designed to live on every device as a cell that learns from verified experience and learns which peers are worth asking.
IMC (Ilaria MicroCortex) is the only model family in Ilaria. No external pretrained language model is part of the architecture. The smaller sizes are scientific checkpoints of the same design, not separate products: each rung validates the architecture before the 1B run.

With native 1.58 bits of information per weight and int8 activations, our proprietary on-device packing targets roughly 10× smaller weights than 16-bit models.

Signed checkpoints, verified on load: modified or unsigned weights are rejected before they run.
Replaces power-hungry matrix multiplication with efficient integer additions, dramatically extending device battery life and reducing thermal throttling.

“At one million installations, Myriad is one million situated cognitive cells, not one million dumb replicas.” Seven research pillars make that possible, each one checkable on its own.
Every cell shares a stable Genome. Each develops its own Phenotype from what it experiences.
One architecture becomes many useful experts without incompatible model families.
The unit that travels between cells is a signed Verified Experience Capsule. Raw private data and blindly trusted gradients stay out of it.
Raw sensitive source data does not need to travel with a capsule.
Every directed peer relation is a learned synapse that records verified success, counterfactual gain, latency, energy cost, freshness and trust.
A synapse strengthens only when consulting that peer improves a verified result.
The router doesn’t only learn from the route that happened to run. For sampled tasks, alternative routes with the same budget are scored offline.
Learn from the route not taken, under the same budget.
Awake, a cell runs inference, interacts with its world and collects experience. Asleep, it replays verified experience and consolidates it.
Candidate updates never directly mutate production weights.
Updates aren’t blindly averaged. Candidates branch from a lineage DAG that starts at Genesis and compete before anything is promoted.
Promote the winner or promote none.
A cell specializes because of where it runs and what it verifiably does well, not because of the name it was given.
The network learns what a cell is good at from evidence.
Built means implemented and verified at tiny, mechanism scale. Behavior at network scale (multi-expert network gain, real device transfer, million-node swarms) has not been demonstrated yet.
In the verified memory workflow, Ilaria learns a fact from a single exposure. Personal hippocampal memory stays on the device by default, outside the reach of global training.

Got it. I’ll keep that.
Can I take a call Thursday at 16:15?
That would run into your 16:30 school pickup. A slot at 15:30 keeps you clear.

Proof-Carrying Experience Transfer v2 asks one question: can a cell learn new skills from another cell’s signed experience during Collective Sleep without losing what it already knew? A matched control receives the same budget with a deliberately wrong mapping.
Per-seed top-1 advantage, not averaged away
12 synthetic new skills, 8 anchor skills, a tiny IMC, frozen SHA-256 dataset identity, gate thresholds unchanged. This shows the mechanism works; it says nothing yet about model quality. Next step: repeat on real IMC-125M with 5–10 seeds.
How a cell teaches a cell
No production token is trained until every source is pinned, licensed, hashed and reviewed by a person. The pipeline is built end to end and rejects anything that hasn’t cleared review. Automatic approval: never.

Production chain
The architecture, training pipeline, promotion gates and data chain are built. Full pretraining comes next. Until the evaluation suite has spoken, we make no claims about model or chat quality.

Ilaria is SwypikOS’s native AI. It verifies signed effect receipts but holds no OS authority of its own: effects go through explicit capabilities.
