Research Notes

High-level observations, architecture experiments, and reflections as the system evolves over time.

Multimodal context as a first-class citizen

2025 — System design reflection

Exploring architectures where voice, vision, and system state are treated as co-equal inputs rather than independent channels. The goal is to reduce fragmentation in how context is represented and accessed over time.

Toward long-lived, evolving agents

2025 — Cognitive architecture

Early prototypes suggest that persistence and memory organization matter as much as model capability. The research focus is shifting from “how smart is the model?” to “how well does the system learn itself over time?”

Edge + local compute as a design constraint

2025 — Infrastructure direction

Treating bandwidth and locality as core design constraints changes how autonomy and privacy are approached. VAI-Nova is increasingly oriented toward architectures that work even when disconnected from the cloud.
