The One Coalescent OS and SSI/ARI

The kernel today

What our kernel prints when it boots in the emulator.

$ cd kernel && make test
qemu-system-i386 -kernel build/oc-kernel.elf -serial stdio
One Coalescent kernel 0.1
boot: multiboot ok
hello from our own kernel

The operating system

Linux is the inspiration, not the source: no Linux code is copied. Our server keeps running a standard system until ours can carry real work.

• Boot and console

  Research

  The kernel starts, writes to the screen and the serial port, and stops. It runs in an emulator and is tested on every change.

• Interrupts and memory

  Research

  Handling faults and timers, then managing memory: the base every program needs.

• Our server's own chip

  Research

  Our server uses an ARM processor, so the kernel will move to ARM.

• Programs, drivers and networking

  Research

  Running several programs at once, reading disks, and talking to the network.

• Da Vinci on our own OS

  Research

  First a very small model, then the models Da Vinci uses today, running on a system we wrote ourselves.

SSI/ARI

Super Stochastic Intelligence and Artificial Random Intelligence: reasoning that keeps every belief as a probability, tests its own claims and shows its steps. It runs on Da Vinci, on our own server, with open models only. Superintelligence is a research goal that nobody has reached; these stages measure steps toward it.

• Foundation

  In development

  An open language model with causal reasoning and a guardrail against claiming understanding it does not have. Its first public score is the next step.

• Memory and patterns

  Research

  Remembering conversations, only for people who choose to turn it on.

• Cause and effect

  Research

  Learning what causes what, and predicting what happens if you change something.

• Learning from its own tests

  Research

  Proposing improvements to itself that are kept only if the scores go up, and only after a person approves.
